Bill drove hard to the paint, especially that one time when he decided to DO IT LIVE!

Every year post-Thanksgiving like clockwork, Bill went balls-to-the-wall railing against the War on Christmas waged by "creeping secularists."

The Culture War was a lot simpler back then.

In those days, maybe because as a teenager conservatism seemed counterintuitive and Western institutions didn't seem important, or maybe because the left wasn't yet fully toxic, the concept of a War on Christmas was amusing, and seemed absurd.

By now, though, I have developed a deeper appreciation for turn-of-the-century GOP culture war talking points.

Christmas is about universal goodwill and holy communion – the exact opposite agenda of the ruling oligarchs, who prefer their peasants atomized and stultified with terror at all hours of the day.

The corporate media, accordingly, has some propaganda slop for the peasants to desecrate that day marking Christ's birth.
