The real war on Christmas

It's actually being waged by Bill O'Reilly and other right-wingers. I should know: It almost ruined my family's holiday dinner.

    The War On Christmas

    I love Wil's writing. Have read his books and look forward to his blogs. And while I happen to disagree with his opinion here, I'd agree that he has every right to have it and write about it. I'm afraid I do believe in this case that the Williams had not really reformed and that, in general, we take much too long to carry out the death penalty.

    To me the real war on Christmas comes from those who have chosen to require all of us to be PC. I'd prefer to all Christians to have Christ in their Christmas and Jews to have whatever they want and that goes for any other religion or belief. This is a country founded by people seeking religious freedom. Let's not forget that. Fine to disagree but don't waste time forcing me to agree with you because I've always followed the words "Unto thine own self be true" and I'm gonna stick with that.

    Keep writing Wil and I'll keep reading and loving every word.
