Reply #18: It's Right Wing Propaganda....

[Bridget Burke]

The John Birch Society claimed that Christmas (& Christians) were being persecuted by the Left. (Maybe you're not old enough to remember them.)

In 2003, Concerned Women for America ran a piece complaining that Macy's employees were saying "Happy Holidays" instead of Merry Christmas. Simple politeness, from retailers dealing with a diverse public. Private citizens are still free to use whatever greeting they prefer.

The whole thing is a campaign in the War Against Christianity supposedly being fought by Evil Secular Leftists. At this point, Christianity's greatest enemies are those who claim be Christian & spread lies to gain power.

For the media, every minute discussing this phony "War" is a minute not spent discussing the continuing debacle in Iraq, Katrina survivors still out in the cold, or Republican scandals.
