Calling Christmas by Its Name

[ziggytrix]

This is just another symptom of an absurd, but growing persecution complex among Christians in the US.

As I see it, there are two factors. The first is a large number of well-meaning people who don't see why there can't be more Christian representation in the government of a predominantly Christian and democratic nation. The second factor is demogogues who seek to profit (financially or politically) from those well-meaning people.

I don't profess to know which is which, but I firmly believe that the second exists and is responsible for making a bigger issue out of things like "the War on Christmas" than any otherwise reasonable person would believe.
