Where, Oh Where is the Annual Assault on Christmas?

Is the assault on Christmas really over?  Given the lack of media coverage of anything remotely politically correct I’d like to think so but I am having my doubts.  My guess is that there is something much more sinister at work with the mainstream media grinch that usually loathes Christmas is actually suppressing any anti-Christmas stories.  Seriously, do you ever recall a year where just two weeks away from Christmas we hadn’t heard of carols being banned, Santa blasted,  Christmas trees renamed holiday trees or San Francisco working to outlaw icicle lights in the name of saving Mother Earth? 

If you step back and look at the big picture in this day and age when liberals want to ban everything related to freedom, liberty, culture and faith perhaps this will start to make sense.  After all, we are going into an election year and anti-Christian rhetoric will hurt only one political party and it sure isn’t the GOP.  Is it possible that the media has awoken from their stupor and realized that sharing these stories of hatred and disdain towards our faith could actually hurt the chances of Hillary Clinton being coronated for a third term in office? 

My guess is the media woke up shortly after calls to give gatecrashing criminals weren't received with a standing ovation from real Americans.  Remember, in the eyes of the liberal elitists real Americans are nothing more than a bunch of gun totin’, pickup drivin’ rebels who don’t want to do our part to redistribute wealth.   While the mainstream media believe that they know what is best for us dumb folk they also realize that we voted for George Bush not once, but twice, despite their using every weapon in their arsenal to destroy his administration. 

The truth is that the stories are out there because we all know that the assault on Christmas continues.   However, with religion being an unexpectedly large part of the ongoing election debate the media has decided to suppress any story that might give conservatives fodder against the anti-freedom of religion left.   Remember, liberals are going to have a hard enough time on the whole religion issue because their faith is liberalism, a religion rooted in tenets of government, taxation and limitation of freedoms.

My guess is the stories are out there, but are being suppressed in the same manner that any good news from Iraq is quickly tossed in the circular file.    In all likelihood San Francisco has banned the word Christmas, Berkeley has outlawed Santa Claus and  government schools across the land are referring to Christmas vacation as something more lame such as holiday or winter breaks.  

I’m sure the Christians aren’t alone as the Jews are being attacked for lighting their menorahs that somehow contribute to global warming or depletion of the ozone layer.   Some poor parents have been accused of child abuse for taking their kids to see Santa Claus.   Choirs across the land still can’t sing Christmas carols because it may offend someone, somewhere.

This is again an inconvenient truth for liberals who can attempt to mask their true intentions but we all know that if you put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig.   The assault on Christmas will be back with a vengeance soon enough, but this year it appears that liberals have given Christmas a break.   Perhaps if they would give it a permanent break we would be a better nation, but then again a liberal just wouldn’t be a liberal if they stood for religious freedom and expression now would they.
