The other side wants to frame this argument like it's some kind of uprising or revolution by some poor disaffected class of downtrodden, oppressed people. Nothing like a theocracy is happening here. Anyone who truly thinks that the recognition of Christmas by the government is the same thing as the government establishing a state religion should have a look at the circumstances that caused us to leave England in the first place. The two situations are as different as night and day.

The people leading this fight against everything that used to be considered good and right aren't trying to help anyone, they're just picking a fight with what they consider to be a judgmental moral code that frowns upon the stuff they like to do. You'll never get anyone to admit it though.

The sad thing is, perfectly reasonable, intelligent people are pulled into this stupidity because of their innate desire to stick up for the disaffected. Once they've bought the spiel that this is about religious minorities not being represented by the government, they'll never hear another argument to the contrary. It's hopeless.

If a Christian ever makes a stink because something offends them, they're laughed at as a holier-than-thou hypocrite who doesn't deserve serious consideration. Insert any other word than "Christian", and suddenly you have a Major Social Issue That Must Be Addressed.

meh.

I'm afraid that the left is finally going to get the kind of world they're begging for. Hopefully there will be enough normal people left to save them from it.
