Neocon "War on Christmas" - distracting evangelicals from Bush failures.
Phony Wars and the Prince of Peace - by Christopher Manion

http://www.lewrockwell.com/manion/manion65.html

"Seldom has Christmas been manipulated with such sheer gall than in this cynical con game. To demonstrate, imagine the neocon horror, should America actually turn away from the doctrine of endless preemptive war and embrace instead the Prince of Peace (who’s He? Hint: His Birthday is celebrated on December 25)."

3. Yes, My Friend, the neocon "War on Christmas".
The "war on Christmas" is a phony issue fomented by the neocons to distract the republican base from paying attention to the real issues of the day and to the news of the bush administration's very real attacks on the fabric of American values.

7. The Neocons declared war on the real Christmas a long time ago
Christmas is about peace, sharing with those less fortunate than you, and rebuilding family unions. It's not suppose to be about war, greed, megalomania.

12. When you get past Bill O'Lielly (All American kicker from Marist College)
and the Faux News crowd - this issue just isn't getting the traction it had before.
