Boy, it\u2019s a big battle this year just saying, &#8220;Merry Christmas,&#8221; celebrating Christmas. There seems to be an all-out assault by the secularists out there to deny what is Christmas. And this is, I think, unreported in terms of just how fired up people are about this. I think it\u2019s another one of these things that\u2019s showing up underneath the red state radar and the blue media radar. But it\u2019s brewing out there. People are getting fed up with this. There are more and more incidents of traditionalists standing up and saying, &#8220;We\u2019re not gonna take this anymore.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/underneath_blue_media_radar.Par.0001.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"278\" height=\"195\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> And, of course, as we heard last week, the root cause of this is the Christians demanding inclusion into the Christmas holiday. I could not believe that when I reported it last week, but it\u2019s absolutely true. This <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.google.com\/news?sourceid=navclient&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-37,GGLD:en&#038;q=Barry+Lynn\">Barry Lynn<\/a>, who is head of some group that has five members, which is usual liberal groups, it\u2019s got five members, claims to be a whole group of people that wants separation of church and state, that\u2019s their sole reason for existing. And he said that the root cause of all this controversy at Christmas time is Christians, who demand inclusion into the Christmas holiday. It was the subject of our morning update today. I know you look at that and say, &#8220;What?&#8221; It\u2019s like parallel universe time.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Seems like more and more of the news today makes us all feel like we\u2019re in the Twilight Zone or a parallel universe. And for the longest time traditionalists, whatever you want to call them, Christians, whatever, have just sat around, they\u2019ve taken it, and they\u2019ve said, &#8220;Okay.&#8221; The attitude is, &#8220;This can\u2019t possibly take hold,&#8221; and it has continued to take hold inch by inch, year after year, and it\u2019s reaching a boiling point out there. And I think it\u2019s first sign of existence was the massive box office support for Mel Gibson\u2019s movie, The Passion of the Christ. I think the second thing was the election. I think if these people keep it up they\u2019re going to keep alienating more and more Americans while they think they\u2019re still not getting their message out.
