Pushing back against the anti-Christmas "insurgents"
I used the term "insurgents" in the title for this post in mockery of the mainstream media who insist on using the word to describe those who are killing American servicemen.
Let's set aside the deceptions and the niceties. Let's be honestly brutal.
Those who seek to eviscerate any sort of public "Christmas" usually make claims that boil down to "we must be sensitive to things multicultural" and with few exceptions get press coverage that burnishes this image. The rest of the year, these self-inflated secular humanists seek to eradicate symbols, speech and sometimes even thought that relates to a faith that gave rise to America's foundational ethos.
These usually self-proclaimed "intellectuals" on the left feel empowered and anointed to "do these things for us" because, as intellectuals, they think about "stuff" a lot. I'm an intellectual when I'm in the bathroom; I have some of my best ideas in there. But I put "better ideas" down the drain every day than the best these "Winter-Solstice Know-Nothing" witches and their flying monkeys from the ACLU have to offer the cause of preserving liberty.

Christians Push Back on CHRISTmas
James Atticus Bowden, TheRant.us
"The Founding Fathers wrote a First Amendment which prohibited the establishment - by Congress only - of an official church, a single Christian sect, for the Federal Government only. Every state had an official, established Christian church for a church-state at the state level. Massachusetts taxed all of its citizens to pay for its official church until the 1830s. Its legislature, appropriately, changed the law. Religious tests for state and local officials existed until the Courts ended them in the 1960s.
The first state to get rid of the established church was Virginia in 1786. But, Liberals would rip a poster of Thomas Jefferson's 'Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom' off the walls, because its begins,
'Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free; that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burdens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion, who being Lord both of body and mind.'
Some separation of church and state. "
