Forget The Grinch.
Meet The Amy Who Stole Christmas.
As you know, it has been powerfully offensive for years to irreligious leftists to wish anyone, even in the privacy of his kitchen, with the lights off, to wish Merry Christmas to another human.
Sometime in the ‘90s, I think, leftists commanded all Americans to hereafter confine their December wishes – publicly and privately — to “Happy Holidays.” Not one syllable more.
Now along comes a daffy, deeply unhappy leftist woman named Amy Sullivan.
Proving she either has a sense of humor or is a grammar
creatively describes herself as a “progressive evangelical.”
She must hang out with tall midgets, short giants and thin fat guys.
As a loyal little leftist, she says the War on Christmas is fiction. Yeah, sure.
To validate her ignorance, she writes: “From the beginning, the War on Christmas was a homegrown Fox News cause.”
Ms. Sullivan seems bugged by the only non-liberal cable channel – that also owns the best ratings.
She must attend a dandy “evangelical” church. Perhaps as a progressive evangelical, she is beyond needing a church.
She says that what dumb, offended Christians and their stupid, bigoted allies fail to realize is that “the nationalistic, race-baiting, fear-mongering form of politics enthusiastically practiced by Mr. Trump…is central to a new strain of American evangelicalism. This emerging worldview – let’s call it Fox evangelicalism – is preached from the pulpits of conservative media outlets like Fox News. It imbues secular practices like shopping for gifts with religious significance and declares sacred something as worldly and profane as gun culture.”
Mr. Trump has been president 11 months. The War on Christmas has been going on much longer. Fortunately, inconvenient timelines are irrelevant to the left.
For quite a young woman, we would like to commend this New York Times essayist (“A Very Merry War on Christmas”) for squeezing so many left-wing talking points into her screed.
Finally, we also wish Amy Sullivan a happy fourth birthday.
