Thanks to the internet I know "Happy Holidays" is a "micro-aggression."

Last night I felt obligated to lambaste one of The Club Kids on the street for wearing a plain red shirt and saying it was for "The holidays". We broke into a store and found him a suitable sweater with snowflakes and reindeer on it.

Interestingly I read in a theology book that the notion of a "Christian Nation" per our "founding fathers" is a popular misconception. As of 1810, only 18% of Americans attended church. It hit 51% by 1900 and peaked at 62% in 1980. So the idea that we should "go back to how things were" would probably not yield the result its proponents would like.

NICE, you can't starbucks your way through xmas!

History has no place in USian politics. The constitution was written in a xtian church I just gnos it.

Actual history is not popular with conservatives.

There is a big overlap between the drafters of the Constitution and the founders of my church, but we run away from anything that smacks of Establishment.
