Steyn on the Move to Abolish Christmas
He's got pretty much the
same take as I:
But every time some sensitive flower pulls off a legal victory over the school board, who really wins? For the answer to that, look no further than last month's election results. Forty years of effort by the American Civil Liberties Union to eliminate God from the public square have led to a resurgent, evangelical and politicised Christianity in America. By "politicised", I don't mean that anyone who feels his kid should be allowed to sing Silent Night if he wants to is perforce a Republican, but only that year in, year out it becomes harder for such folks to support a secular Democratic Party closely allied with the anti-Christmas militants. American liberals need to rethink their priorities: what's more important? Winning a victory over the kindergarten teacher's holiday concert, or winning back Congress and the White House?
I'm not actually a very religious person myself, which highlights how far liberalism has gone in its efforts to expunge public mentions of Christmas. If they're getting me annoyed at the attempts to install atheism as the official religion of America, just imagine how the devout must feel!
