(Parody) Christmas song condemned as “outdated” for suggesting Americans want soldiers to come home

First, it was Dean
Martin’s “Baby, it’s cold outside.”
Now, it is Monty
Lane Allen’s “All I Want For Christmas Is (A Soldier Coming Home).”
The Christmas song,
which was released in the early 2000s and is sung from the perspective of a military
spouse, tells how a woman wants her husband serving in the U.S. Military to
come home for Christmas.
Democrats and
Hollywood elitists quickly condemned Allen’s song, just in time for
Christmas.
This criticism
comes as President Donald Trump has kept his promise to the American people
about not fighting anymore wars and pulling U.S. troops out of endless Middle
East wars, including taking American troops out of Syria.
(Trump has also
made visits to U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East during the holidays in
his first three years as President, most recently an unannounced trip to troops
in Afghanistan this Thanksgiving.)
“It’s obvious ‘All
I want for Christmas is (A Soldier Coming Home)’ reflects a Trumpist view of
America’s role in the world,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. “It is meant to
condemn the practice of having our brave young men and women fight in foreign
wars that never ended.”
“This young wife
and mother should be proud that her husband is fighting to protect the freedoms
of people in the Middle East,” actor Alec Baldwin said. “Who cares about
freedom for Americans at home and making sure our troops get to see their kids
grow up?”
Baldwin is an avowed
Trump critic and anti-American.
“This is 2019, not
2004 or 2008,” Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema (Arizona) said. “It’s okay for
Americans to support endless wars and to keep troops in foreign countries with
no end to the fighting in sight.
“How dare President
Trump keep his promise to take our troops out of Syria?” Sinema added. “We have
to be there for at least two decades and spend billions and trillions of
dollars there before we can even think about leaving that country.”
Sinema was a
radical far-left anti-war activist during President George W. Bush’s
administration (2001-2009), when the United States launched and carried out the
Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.
SJW feminists also
condemned Allen’s song, claiming the song is “sexist.”
“How dare Allen
write a song about a woman wanting her husband home for Christmas, or even
wanting him at all,” an SJW feminist told reporters. “He is reinforcing gender
stereotypes and contributing to the ‘toxic masculinity’ patriarchy. Women don’t
need a man in their lives or to fight for us.”
A reporter then
asked the SJW feminist if she and other progressive feminists were willing to
go fight terrorists in the Middle East or go to war for Syria, instead of
having young men and women in the U.S. Military fight in combat.
“How dare you speak
to me, you misogynistic bigot?” the SJW feminist said, avoiding the question
altogether. “You’re oppressing me!”
Conservatives and
Republicans quickly condemned the Democrats, SJW feminists and liberals for
their hypocrisy.
“Speaker Pelosi and
the Democrats only stopped caring about bringing American troops home after
Donald Trump became President in 2016,” House Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said. “If
they really cared about our brave young men and women, they would praise
President Trump for taking our troops out of war zones and not fight endless
wars.”
Allen released a
statement following the progressive backlash against his song.
“This song is about
a military spouse wanting his or her spouse home for Christmas,” Allen said in
the statement. “That’s what they really want this year. It’s about the true
meaning of Christmas and family. Isn’t that a message worth preserving?”
At publishing time,
singer John Legend wrote a politically-correct version of Allen’s song, where
he actually wishes American soldiers always stay abroad and fight endless wars
in the Middle East with no end in sight.
