The backlash about this issue is building. How much longer will people allow the leftwing elites to get away with treating Christmas as if it's a dirty word? They always seem to trot out this mysterious group of people who 'might be offended", do they even exist? Do they have some tenured radicals on the payroll that can always be counted on to be "offended" by the things the average American reveres' like God and the flag?. It surely isn't a majority of people, not in most places anyway.

The only way to counter this is for people to develop an "I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE" attitude, and start expressing how badly we are offended by this disrespectful treatment of our religion.

Just stand up to the PC Nazis, refuse to go along with it. Go out of your way to wish people "Merry Christmas" at work and in school. When they try to stifle you, stand up to them. The reason they get away with this is that they declare policy, and we back down and grumble to ourselves. Maybe it's time to let them know that Christians get offended too, and that this has to stop.

I was being presumptuous here. I know that we aren't all Christians. I would hope our Jewish brethren could also be persuaded to support a desire to see this shameful treatment of the Christianity, just as we, for the most part, support them in their desire for respect and fair treatment.

I would hope our Jewish brethren could also be persuaded to support a desire to see this shameful treatment of the Christianity put to an end, just as we, for the most part, support them in their desire for respect and fair treatment.

Its not just the phrase "Merry Xmas" that PC Nazis are having a problem with. Many of them are having a problem with "Happy Holidays" as well. After all, when we say the phrase "Holiday Season" we know which holiday we're referring to. The PC police wants the term "Holiday" to be changed to "Winter".
