"Christmas has been declared politically incorrect, and the situation is much worse than you realize. In the United States of America, a nation over-whelmingly Christian, literally any sign of Christmas in public can now lead to complaints, litigation, angry protests, threats, and bruised feelings. Every year the limitations get tighter and tighter and spread to more and more communities, far from the big liberal cities. And as Fox News Channel's John Gibson reveals in this shocking expose, it's not happening by accident." "At first it was just nativity scenes in the town square and other overtly Christian symbols. But now the secular militants have expanded their war on Christmas to go after things regarded by most Americans - and even by the Supreme Court - as innocent symbols of the federal holiday that is Christmas." "You can't say "Merry Christmas" at a school or office anymore; only "Happy Holidays" is acceptable. No more caroling in public. Friendship trees instead of Christmas trees. No more Santa Claus, treetop stars, wreaths, Christmas music (even instrumental versions!), or school performances of Dickens's "A Christmas Carol." Even the colors red and green are under attack." "Gibson unveils the coordinated work of American Civil Liberties Union lawyers, professional atheists, and Christian haters who have taken the war on Christmas to your front door." "Secular liberals say they're just protecting the constitutional rights of non-Christians who don't want to see or hear about Christmas. But what about the constitutional rights of millions of Americans who simply want to celebrate their traditional holiday - without insulting anyone else but also without having to hide behind closed doors?"--BOOK JACKET.Gibson, John is the author of 'War on Christmas How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday is Worse Than You Thought', published 2005 under ISBN 9781595230164 and ISBN 1595230165.
