The bottom line is those "morons" you mention happen to have a point here about whats going on politically. Deal with it.

Yes master. I have learned my Orwellian lesson -- if I do not say what you tell me I must say at this time of year, then I am persecuting you. (See: Re-Definition of Persecution, New Political Dictionary of the Reactionary Fundamentalists.)

Of course, the Jews and other such worthless whatnots who happen to be running their own private businesses or otherwise celebrating something other than Christmas might not be so compliant. But with sufficient pressure, I'm sure that over time they can be forced to either say Merry Christmas or keep their mouths shut.

Huhh?? Most people who are raising the issue of "Merry Christmas" also welcome the "Happy Hanukka" too. What they object to is the artificial substitute of "Happy Holidays" thats given. Now of course, there being like 10:1 Christians to Jews in the country one would then happen to hear "Merry Christmas" more often than "Happy Hannuka" but reasonable people would agree that that's nobodys fault.

Of course the issue with Christians is much broader than a deletion of "Merry Christmas" in retail chains. There has been for some time now a consistant full frontal assault from the ACLU that we've been dealing with in public and private institutions at many levels. So yeah, sensativities are also running high and for good reason.
