The impending death of Christmas?

The spiritual Grinches in our nation are accelerating their war against Christmas as never before.

The so-called mainstream media often portray radical secularists as reasonable individuals, but the people at the American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and other such groups are practitioners of an extremist movement that would completely outlaw God, Christianity and any remnant of such from the public arena.

And they are, in many cases, winning this war.

That's why this week the student members of the Columbia High School brass ensemble in Maplewood, N.J., were told they could not play any Christmas-related songs - not even instrumental versions. (You wouldn't want some student or parent to get offended by a wordless tune, would we?)
