This just may be the end of political correctness. Like all things socialist, it has to at some point implode on it's self and annihilate itself. This is may be it. I feel a storm coming.

DON'T TREAD ON ME. The Left would do well to remember it.

Amen. I think this is one issue that the (mainstream) left and right can agree on.
Not to beat a dead horse (I mentioned this in an another post somewhere) but if a liberal secularist agnostic like me doesn't have a problem with a Nativity Scene on the statehouse lawn, or things like that, then WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
Regardless of my personal religious beliefs, Christmas is an important part of our culture and shared heritage.

The anti-christians are worse than ever. Their is no backlash, its just that the PC'ers are getting worse and more people are noticing.

Excellent and well-written article.

The backlash is turning the tide this year, at last.

If more "liberal secularist agnostics" thought like you then I have no doubt that more "conservative religious believers" like myself would be more tolerant of your desire to ensure the separation of Church and State.

When it comes to the libs, I feel like I'm always getting beaten up... sorta like living with my two teenage kids. I can't do ANYTHING right, and the principles that enabled me to achieve whatever success I have been fortunate to attain are ridiculed on a daily basis.

Anyway, I appreciate your sentiment. "Merry Christmas!" to you and yours.

Let's just say the "Merry Christmas" backlash has officially begun. After years of politically correct "Happy Holidays," and the annual assault on all things Christian in the public square, many Americans are declining to turn the other cheek. The MC backlash isn't only for, by or about Christians. It is a quintessentially American revolt against absurdity, the inevitable result of narcissistic, nihilist ninnies pushing too far.

Told ya.

Declining? Hell-lo?

How about defiantly asserting what used to be as natural and normal as breathing and as natural as... well, heterosexual sex... ?

"This is where political correctness loses the plot," he wrote. "What purports to inspire tolerance instead inspires hostility and intolerance.

A very perceptive statement. When you strip away the BS, the PC movement has always been about inspiring tolerance for those things that tear down Western Civilization, while building intolerance for everything that sustains it.

BureaucratusMaximus Jr wishes you all a Merry Christmas...but he's still a little afraid of Santa.
