TX Pol Threatens to Slap Anyone Who Tells Him Happy Holidays
December 18, 2015 by Ed Brayton
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is not a happy camper. It seems that people have been wishing him Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas and that has him getting all angry and violent. In a post on his Facebook page, he said that he might just slap the next person who dared to wish him well in a manner he does not approve of. Because Jesus. Or something.
I for one will not wish him happy holidays. Ill wish him an epiphany that makes him less of a fucking asshole.

As expected the posts on his fb page are all kinds of awesome:
Geraldine Mongold: You might want to think twice about slapping this atheist Texas veteran. I won't slap back, but I've got a very good spinning back kick. Happy Holidays you bigoted hypocrite.
Stephen Michael Anayas-Hilliard: You do realize that Christ wasn't acutally born in December right? That it was a pagan holiday taken over by Christians so that it couldn't be claimed as a pagan holiday anymore. On top of that, I will stop saying Happy Holidays when all you so called Christians stop using your savior's birthday as a way to be the most materialistic assholes on the planet and actually do something Christ would have done, oh like helping the poor.......
Ken Levy: As long as the rules are fair---which means that if you say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to me, I get to slap you because you didn't say Happy Chanukah.
Don Spafford: Happy Holidays, douchebag!
Jeff Ware: Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid! Happy holidays Sid!
Lonnie Moyer: Happy Holidays Sid, you twat.
Sheryl Hunter: Happy Holidays. Please feel free to come slap me in Tampa. I promise you won't be leaving after without a visit to see our beautiful hospital. they do have a LOVELY holiday tree so at least you won't be too put out.
I don't get offended if someone says "Merry Christmas" because they took the time to be nice, I return it to be nice back. As a public official maybe you should grow up and learn something called "respecting others". you fecking twit.
BTW. Merry Christmas .. see? it is even not hard to be nice to the mentally incompetent.

Phillip Lozano: Happy Holidays, Sid!
Even the FFRF weighed in:
Andrew Seidel: Happy Holidays Sid Miller! Happy Holidays from us heathens at the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Seems like you could really use some holiday cheer. So just to be safe, I'll say it one more time. Happy Holidays! And of course, we can't forget the real reason for the season, Happy Winter Solstice!
