Its almost Christmas and we are under attack. In fact, we have been for the past 2 weeks and many of us haven't realized it. Kid Oakland pointed out in his excellent dairy A Christmas Message that the hot topic in the media has been "Putting Christ back into Christmas". He then presented an in depth analysis of how Christ was actually a liberal.

I completely agree, but there is a much larger issue that needs to be addressed. This topic of "Putting Christ back into Christmas" that is being repeated nightly in the media is NOT ABOUT CHRIST OR CHRISTMAS. These are the same old Culture War issues repackaged neatly for Christmas. It is a coordinated political attack on us -- "those politically correct, secular liberals who have no common sense". It is an effective attack too, because Americans love Christmas -- the joyous, loving and generous time of year. They make us out to be the grinches against Christmas and looking to oppress Christianity. The worst part is that we are allowing this branding to occur.
