The right-wing crusade against the liberal "war on Christmas" is great for rallying the troops. Too bad the war doesn't exist.

    Thank you!

    Ahhh. As I read this article, I repeatedly had the desire to breathe deeply so I could physically inhale its fresh air. I am so very tired of the constant woe-is-me-ism of many Christians in this country. I am a Christian. I attend church services for 3 hours each Sunday. (Which is probably more than Bush can say!) And you know, funny thing, nobody from our city police has ever tried to stop me on my way to church. No employee of our local schools, or nearby department store, has ever blocked the door to my church building, or stolen scriptures from my home, or in any other way even tried to prevent me from worshiping as I please. Sure, I encounter an occasional religious bigot who has some snarky comment to make about my beliefs. But the idea of some organized anti-Christian conspiracy is pure paranoia.
