Trump and the 'War on Christmas'

Trump and the 'War on Christmas': Distinctly Catholic: The faux-War on Christmas is

MGB: The War on Christmas meme is not about the loss of religious freedom or the quiet enjoyment of one's faith - it is about Christian symbols dominating the landscape in a show of religious power - something the ACLU will never defend, nor should it.  As for consumerism, for some people it is important because they have little else.  Let us not preach against it unless we also preach against the economic exploitation of workers and for solidarity among workers, even as they consume.  Don't attack consumption unless you are ready for a fully radical message on the workplace.
