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.

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.

In the past few days, two prominent Jewish commentators — Jeff Jacoby and Dennis Prager — have written columns defending the traditions and spirit of Christmas.

Not to mention Maceman.

Is this the official Christmas wishes vanity (to all FReepers and lurkers, etc., etc.) or should we each start our own?

Peace and joy to you all, and health, wealth and happiness in the New Year!

I've been having fun saying "Merry Christmas" to the customers at work. Some of the customers have even said it to me first. Someone, I forget who and where, tried to say "Seasons Greetings" to me and I told them "Noooo, it's Merry Christmas!" They then told me I was right and that was that. I didn't have anyone to get upset or anything. It was great!
