Now the truth is revealed. The common thread between Bill O'Reilly's `war on Christmas' and Rick Scarborough's `war on Christians' is that right-wing Christians resent the need to be courteous and tolerant of others, and claim that such expectations amount to an attack on them.
Today's LA Times article today which describes a lawsuit filed by a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, claiming that her freedom of religious expression is being hampered by school policy which requires that students be tolerant of each other.
Not surprisingly, this effort is supported by the Reverend Rick Scarborough, the same man who claimed a few weeks ago that Rep. Tom DeLay was a victim of the war against Christians.
Similarly, Bill O'Reilly's flimsy diatribe on the `war on Christmas' seemed to be based on a resentment of public countesy which acknowledges that not every shares the same religious beliefs and celebrates the same religious holidays.
