… is pretty simple to understand. The notion that there is a WAR ON CHRISTMAS in the United States – a country where huge percentages of its citizens attend church regularly, where evangelicalism has been on the rise for 30 years, where 25% or more of many stores’ annual sales are seasonally derived, and where Christmas carols and Christmas specials are an inescapable fact of life – is so gobsmackingly absurd that it renders people with even the slightest amount of intellectual honesty or discernment utterly speechless. It is an unanswerable charge because it is completely, unspeakably – literally unspeakably – false.
It is a topic, therefore, perfectly attuned to FOX’s “news” strategy: it allows FOX hosts to scream about the end of the world while facing no actual challenge or opposition to their ideas … especially on FOX News itself.
It’s actually brilliant. It also just happens to be false. But those two things don’t seem to cancel themselves out much these days, do they?

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
