Times are tough all over, even for the con men on the religious right. It's "that time of the year," and it's time to raise more money to keep those con men well-fed and well-clothed.

What better way to raise money during the time of the year when individuals and families are strapped and stressed to the max than to organize a "boycott" of companies like Target stores (pictured), school districts, and whatever else that supposedly wants to get "Christ" out of "Christmas"? It's all part of another scheme by Jerry Falwell to get his followers and fellow sympathizers all riled up and feel they are being persecuted for their beliefs. And of course make some easy cash along the way.

Never mind the obvious fact Christmas is pagan in origin, and the Christian church picked up on it much later on.
