Nice summary about the thought police and Christmas

John Leo has put together a nice article here about municipal governments joining with the ACLU to squish all references to Christmas (while keeping alive all references to religions other than Christianity). I'm Jewish, so I shouldn't care, but I do. I think it's ridiculous (as I've noted in previous posts) to pretend that we're not a country that has a religious past and religious people. Stephen Carter write a wonderful book years ago about America's fear of religion, and it's worth rereading at this time of year, when the ACLU is more hysterical than usual.
