8. Actually I think we pretty much have the same perspective
and I agree that they have been emboldened after the recent "election". An example of that is in one of the editorials I linked to: "Heathen Rage Against Christmas". Here is an excerpt:

"Who can remember such an all-out attack on Christmas as we're seeing this season? Whether it's national magazines running "special issues" that "disprove" the Christian gospel, local schools decreeing that classroom cupcakes may not be served on red and green plates, or chain stores evicting Salvation Army Santas, it's everywhere you look.

Why?

Some of it must be sour grapes over the presidential election. Their guy lost. Worse, he lost to a man who describes himself as a believing Christian and is widely accepted as such. The Anti-Christian Left is outraged by its defeat at the hands of a rabble of ignorant rednecks out in Jesusland, and they're taking it out on Christmas.

Some of it's due to the fundamental misery of liberals, and their need to slather it onto the rest of the human race. Maureen Dowd had an unhappy Christmas as a child, so she hates to see the rest of America revel in the season. Liberals always seek to translate their personal demons into public policy. "I had a bad marriage; therefore marriage is a wicked institution, and it ought to be abolished." Examples of this kind of "thinking" are too numerous to be listed here."


etc., ad nauseum
