What the "right" is doing is coöpting the "left"'s use of victim culture to promote their goals.  Yes, it's disingenuous, but, hey, it works.

It's not simply disingenuous, it's based on a false premise, to wit, that Christmas is under some sort of attack.

...not to mention the false premise that this nation is a Xian nation.

I've said it before in someone's LJ, but the one science fiction future I really don't want to see is Heinlein's one in which a religious dictatorship takes control of the US (seen from the other end in Revolt in 2100, IIRC). Apart from anything else, surely the world could do better than a cheesy Heinlein future...

You might want to avoid the future depicted in The Handmaid's Tale (http://www.powells.com/biblio/66-0099740915-1) while you're at it.

...not to mention "Escape from L.A."...
