CULTURE -- 'WAR ON CHRISTMAS' CONSPIRACY ENSNARES WHITE HOUSE:
The right-wing has recently begun propagating the "War on Christmas"
conspiracy.
The myth, which has repeatedly cropped up in American history,
http://thinkprogress.org/2005/12/05/christmas-conspiracy/ attempts to
suggest that progressives are anti-religious.

The conservative Alliance Defense Fund said it would pursue legal
action over perceived attempts by "government officials to censor
Christmas carols

eliminate all references to Christmas, or silence those who celebrate
Christ's birth."
The Alliance has a new target: the White House.
The Washington Post reports today that President Bush sent out the
White House "Christmas" card omitting any mention of Christmas and
instead referring to the "holiday season."

"This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a
loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in
our culture," said William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic
League for Religious and Civil Rights.
Bush "claims to be a born-again, evangelical Christian. But he sure
doesn't act like one," said Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative
Web site WorldNetDaily.com.
