Washington Times: The true meaning of Christmas

Washington Times Editorial: “The Alliance Defense Fund started its defense of Christmas back in September. The organization called upon Arizona state and federal officials to stop prohibiting Arizona public school children from expressing their religion through Christmas themes while decorating ornaments for the annual Capitol Christmas tree . . .

And that, perhaps, is the broader cultural significance of the war on Christmas. In our relativistic age, we’re not expected to believe in anything. To politically correct liberals, belief is an odd eccentricity passed down by barbarians who lived in a more superstitious time.

The war on Christmas is really an attack on Americans’ independence. We can’t do anything anymore without our betters supervising what we drink, drive, eat, smoke or read. Surely we can’t be trusted to celebrate on our own, either.”
