Liberals and Christmas

Michael Brendan Dougherty:

So liberals are shocked, shocked, shocked that we accuse them of making war on Christmas. Then after they express their dismay at being falsely accused they go on to condescendingly explain to us that the Puritans banned Christmas, as John Stewart did tonight, and Ron Reagan did earlier on MSNBC. The Puritans banned Christmas because they were following their religious faith and imposing their beliefs on the community – not because they held that Korean doll festivals were co-equal with the Lord’s birth. Then they explain to us that Christmas is really a pagan holiday because Christmas trees aren’t in the Bible. I suppose because there are democratic institutions in Washington D.C. (which was just a swamp at our Founding)– the government in the Beltway isn’t really the government of the United States- it’s the government of the Roman Republic. We liberals don’t hate Christmas, we just hate you. We’re not insulting your traditions we are just saying that you have a right to celebrate that totally idiotic, misguided, half-pagan ritual honoring your hateful God.
