Is there a war on Christmas?

"Merry Christmas." When shopping, you may not be hearing that too much this year. According to Bill O'Reilly and others, there is a war on Christmas. The "secular-progressives" are trying to shut out the whole religious side of arguable the biggest holiday in the U.S. What does this mean?No saying, "Merry Christmas" to shoppers at stores, calling the Christmas break at school a "winter break", suing the local fire department for putting a Christmas tree on the fire truck (Eugene), schools celebrating Kwanzaa (a holiday that was invented by a convicted murderer and torturer in the 60s) but not allowing a Christmas tree or even, yes, Santa.

Yes, I would say that there is a war on Christmas.

I believe that the "secular-progressives" are trying the eliminate all signs of a Judeo-Christian heritage that our country DOES indeed have. We can get into the whole semantic side of it, but there is no doubt about it.

What good will come from this?

I do not think that any good, definitive change will. Our society was built on those values and there is good reason to keep them. Somebody please tell me what is wrong with the Ten Commandments?
