What people never talk about when discussing the 12 Days of Christmas song, is how expensive it is for the recipient. It’s like at least 10 days of livestock. They all need to be housed and fed.

Do you need different aviaries for each species or just one large one? How much seeds, grains, and protein do you need? The geese are going to need a pond of some sort. Now you got animal control on your ass.

And the people: milk maids and lords-a-leaping. Does the recipient have to house and feed them or just pay their wages? Now you got OSHA on your ass.

Do the milk maids come with a herd of cows? Crap do you know how expensive that is gonna be? Hay fields, pasture fields, silos, and haylofts.Barns, milking barns, cold rooms, pasteurizing machinery. Now you got FDA? On your ass.

I mean I suppose you can sell the eggs and milk. You could probably rent out the leaping lords for parties and special occasions if their contracts allow that. Now you have the IRS on your ass.

The recipient is going to need a farm manager, farm hands, accountants, seasonal laborers.

Fuck that shit! Watch me on the 13th day of Christmas flog the lot and cop the lolly. Maybe I’ll keep the pear tree. That should be easy enough to take care of.

Just get me a Target gift card for fuck sake.

Thomas Paine: “I do not believe in…any church,” he declared. In a call to arms against what he called church-state tyranny in early America, he insisted that “every national church or religion accuses the others of unbelief; for my own part, I disbelieve them all.”

George Washington: "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

Thomas Jefferson: " The Christian God is a being of terrific character -- cruel, vindictive, capricious, and unjust . We discover in the Bible a groundwork of vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, of superstition, fanaticism and fabrication . On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarreling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind."

James Madison: “It was the universal opinion of the [18th] century, that civil government could not stand without the prop of a religious establishment and that the Christian religion itself would perish if not supported by a legal provision for its clergy.” But as President, Madison found that, “the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of church from the state.”

John Adams: “the United States is not, in any sense, a Christian nation.”

The Founders have spoken. Religion has no place in government.
