I guess that's the corollary to what Michael Reagan is suggesting in his latest column.
Reagan is "fed up with seeing federal, state and local governments, local and nationwide chain stores, and even the White House ... all of them giving in to the intimidation of a handful of secular progressives who loathe Christianity and any celebration associated with it."
Surely he can't be serious. But apparently he is.
And he suggests that the phrase "Happy Holidays" is meaningless.
How does he figure? It is "meaningless" to be open-minded enough to allow other Americans to observe their various religious traditions or secular celebrations in their own way? Why be presumptuous?
Reagan warns:
The secular progressives who shrivel at the sound of a “Merry Christmas” greeting have long succeeded in intimidating the world of commerce and government. It’s about time for the 90 percent of Americans who call themselves Christians to do a little intimidation of their own.
Oh, brother!

These nuts just won't stop. I had to chuckle at the "secular progressives" and the part about shriveling at the sound of merry Christmas. What is a secular progressive?
GMM - I'm assuming "secular progressive" is a synonym for "godless liberal," which in turn is a synonym for "liberal." Yet another proof that the modern ultraconservative is clueless.
