I'm curious then where you adopted the term "liberal media bias" or is
that simply your own perception?

It's the truth... the media has taken upon a lot of Marxist views when
contrasting with today's events.

How the ACLU and other secularist Grinches have almost stolen Christmas -
and how you can fight back now

The War on Christmas

by John Gibson

"Happy holidays!" Every time a supermarket checker or store clerk greets you
with those words instead of "Merry Christmas," you have met another soldier
in the war against Christmas. Secularists are bent on imposing upon us a
neutered, secular winter holiday that throws out every trace of Christianity
from the public observance of Christmas. It's all necessary, they tell us,
to avoid offending non-Christians and, above all, to keep from violating the
all-important separation of church and state. Meanwhile, Christians in
America are increasingly marginalized and shunted aside.

In The War On Christmas: How the Conspiracy to Subvert Our Most Sacred
Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought, popular FOX News anchor John Gibson
reveals that this is not happening because of some cultural consensus. On
the contrary, he explains that a thorough and virulent anti-Christmas
campaign is being waged today by liberal activists, ACLU fanatics, craven
politicians, sinister agenda-driven educators, and witless media mavens. But
for all their efforts, the Grinches have not won: plucky Christians are
already fighting to retake their place in the public square.

Gibson reveals just how bad things have become: in Illinois, state
government workers were forbidden to say "Merry Christmas" while at work. In
Rhode Island, local officials banned Christians from participating in a
public project to decorate the lawn of City Hall. A New Jersey school banned
even instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols. And Arizona
school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any
reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project. But
according to Gibson, despite what the ACLU says, all of this is completely
unnecessary from a genuine Constitutional perspective: the last thing on the
Founding Fathers' mind when they wrote that "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" was the banning of all public
celebration of Christmas.

What's more, the Left's campaign to infringe upon Christians' free exercise
of their religion has not achieved total victory. Gibson shows how millions
of Americans are starting to fight back against the secularist forces and
liberal local officials. He shows you how you can help save Christmas from
being twisted beyond recognition. The War on Christmas is a perfect gift for
all those who want to restore Christianity to its rightful place in American
public life -- give it to them with a hearty "Merry Christmas!"

The War on Christmas reveals:

- Proof: Christmas is under attack in such a sustained and strategized
manner that there is without any doubt a war on Christmas

- How the Constitutional concept of non-establishment of a religion has
been twisted into a hostility to Christianity that is itself quite obviously
unconstitutional

- Common sight in American public schools every December: Hanukkah and
Kwanza decorations proliferating everywhere, but nary a mention of Christmas

- How the war on Christmas is not just being fought in loony-left blue
state strongholds, but in the American heartland

- The ACLU, ADL, and Americans for the Separation of Church and State:
how they provide the legal muscle and contorted logic to anti-Christmas
warriors while looking approvingly on public expressions of Islam, Hinduism,
and Judaism

- The ridiculous lengths to which the ACLU has gone in its war against
Christmas and its quest to remove all vestiges of Christianity from public
life -- including its argument that a rural Georgia school calendar that
contained the word "Christmas" represented state endorsement of Christianity
and was thus unconstitutional

- Amateur constitutionalists who occupy positions of power in America,
and are making up the law as they go along (often after being intimidated by
the ACLU)

- The ACLU lawyer who, on his lunch break, inspected a Christmas tree
that had been set up in the Pennsylvania state capitol and found, among its
thousand ornaments, three that were cross-shaped -- and promptly filed suit

- How liberals stir up fears of aggressive Christians' turning public
schools into religious organizations and America into a theocracy to gain
support for their war on Christmas

- How officials forbade a Texas schoolgirl to give other students goodie
bags inscribed "Jesus is the reason for the season"

- Roger Ailes: how he put identification breaks that wished viewers
"Merry Christmas" on the air on Fox News stations -- to the shock and horror
of the politically correct establishment

- The throngs of lawyers who are now willing to take on the ACLU and
defend Christmas

- How Christmas has become the new litmus test of our nation's
willingness to abide by its own Constitution, to make certain that people
are free to express their religion without being told that they must keep
their beliefs private and tucked out of sight

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. ;-)
