Echinde today:
Consider this seriously: a country where the majority of people are Christian, a country where Christmas advertizing starts right after Labor Day, a country where you cannot escape hearing "Dreaming of A White Christmas" has a war against Christmas, a war so powerful that this majority is on its knees, silenced, driven out of the public space. What utter crap. Who are these powerful enemies of Christmas, pray, tell me.
Long story short, this isn't really about Christmas. It's about insecurity and dominance, and much more the latter than the former. Some segment of the Christian population feels threatened by people who are different. Others, emboldened by asstards like Bill O'Reilly, feel entitled to be in-your-face about their dominance. They don't just want to celebrate Christmas, they want people to "just shut up," be ashamed, or even scared if they don't celebrate Christmas too.
These people seriously need to get over themselves.

It is gratifying to know that the book, The War on Christmas, is selling like high-priced maggots.
This is simply one more bogus non-issue dreamed up and drummed up by the conservative media, as a smokescreen for real issues--like the dropping median income, thousands dead in Iraq, rising heating and health costs, and so forth.
