Breaking Update:
In what may be the campaign promise most welcomed by conservative Christians and one that most likely will assure his nomination, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump promised his flock Monday night, “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you. That I can tell you.”
While Trump did not explain how he would enforce such a Commandment, his base trusts Trump implicitly on this and on his many other make-your-head-spin promises. The GOP candidate also suggested that his followers boycott Starbucks.

The long War-on-Christmas spears are out early this year.
And at the very tip of the spear is none other than Starbucks.
Can you imagine, Starbucks not emblazoning their traditional, festive red Christmas coffee cups with cherubs, reindeer and snowmen this year, but merely celebrating the holidays with “the simplicity and the quietness” of a two-toned red color cup?
The devout all across this nation have already taken up arms against this sacrilege by Starbucks, an early sign that the War on Christmas is going to be long and ugly this year.
Many conservative Christians who are calling Starbucks’ transgression a “monstrosity” and a “Christian Culture Cleansing of the West,” are urging fellow Christmas defenders to bring their crayons to Starbucks and write “Merry Christmas” or draw their own religious symbols on what a Starbucks spokesman calls a “blank Canvas,”
Even the British are incensed.
A Tory MP told Breibart London: “The Starbucks coffee cup change smells more of political correctness than a consumer-led change…The public has a common sense grasp on the reality that at Christmas time, whether you have a Christian faith or not, Britain celebrates Christmas.”
And Andrea Williams of the U.K. group Christian Concern said,
This is a denial of historical reality and the great Christian heritage behind the American Dream that has so benefitted Starbucks.
This also denies the hope of Jesus Christ and His story told so powerfully at this time of year.
But what would Jesus really do and say about it?
If former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) who says that Jesus is coming soon would have had the chance to ask Him about it, He might have said:
Just like it is not the outside or the color of a person’s skin but rather the content of the heart that makes a person good, it is not the outside design or the color of a cup that makes the coffee inside rich and good. So good people, relax, enjoy another cup of coffee in that two-toned red cup, and especially enjoy this Christmas because as Michele says, I am coming soon, and boy am I [not in a good mood.]
