EDITORIAL - Well, it is that time of year again. All the little liberal elves are busy in their Berkley workshops trying to find new ways to take all the fun out of the Holidays for normal people.

For the last two years, the Liberal assault has been focused on that red vested oppressor of the masses, Santa.

Why are Liberals opposed to the Jolly Ole Elf? "Santa lords his wealth over the proletariat by giving gifts out to kids!" "What has Santa done for AIDS research?" "Santa discriminates against same sex couples because he only visits people with kids!" "Santa should be charged with crimes against the NAUGHTY!" Or maybe he just looks too much like Rush Limbaugh before he lost all the weight.

There are three main reasons for this new annual event of cultural destruction. The first we all know well: Liberals hate any form of ethics or moral code that tries to differentiate right from wrong (or should I say right from left?) Secular Humanist philosophy is based on the crude pleasure/pain principal. If it feels good, do it; if it causes the least bit of inconvenience, there should be a law against it (and the obligatory formation of a new government agency.) And, unfortunately for Christians, the gentle ethics and morals of Jesus Christ are indeed a little inconvenient. How can you properly enjoy NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) with some bozo Deity telling you that it is wrong to rape children!

The second reason is subtler. Many Liberals are fundamentally unhappy people. In their minds, children singing Christmas carols is not harmless enjoyment but a bitter reminder of Christmas when they were 8 and only received a bunch of hemp necklaces from their parents.

In the Liberal mind set, EVERYTHING annoys and offends them. When they see us happy and celebrating, it drives them crazy! We are ignorant and self centered by not dwelling on the ills of the world around us. How can we be happy when in the Amazon there are actually three endangered species of mud slime? If only everyone could have a Masters Degree from Vassar then instead of Christmas, we could all sit around and cry for a day about all the times Starbuck's was out of raw sugar for our lattes.

The third reason for the movement to relegate Christmas to the ?ash heap of history? is the Liberals? actual fear of Christianity and Jesus Christ. Liberals feel threatened by Christmas and Jesus, as well they should. Our Judeo-Christian heritage is more than just the faith of Americans; it is the bedrock upon which our entire nation was built. The values of respecting your neighbor and his property, working hard to improve yourself, and seeking justice through law rather than violence are hallmarks of our faith. And we should be very proud of this fact. The strength and success of America and its citizens all flow from this one source. So Christmas is more than a religious holiday, it is a celebration of our way of life.

That is why Liberals attack this holiday.

The assault will continue. Liberals will use any method at their disposal to push Christmas out of mainstream America. If it is not bogus accusations over the separation of church and state, then it will be "weirdo Wiccan" who claims that severed Christmas trees feel pain.

Every American Christian should go out in their front yard and hang up as many Christmas lights as their roofs will hold. We should only frequent businesses with even a little garland. And we must DEMAND of elected officials to stand up and respect an official national holiday commemorating the beliefs of 95% its population with a NATIVITY SCENE.

I do not know what it is about that baby in the manger, but it seems that every enemy of freedom has hated Jesus. American Liberals fear him so much that they cannot stand the sight of even a cardboard cut out of him! But that is all right, they are in good company. The Nazis banned nativity scenes too.
