Part of what I love about Australia is that we are the least PC country in the English speaking world. The picture is of Flinders Street Station in the middle of Melbourne and the same words are found all over our trams and buses. In the idiot parts of the Anglosphere there is a “War on Christmas” where such public displays of our Christian heritage are virtually impossible to imagine. Discussed here by Ed Driscoll at Instapundit who quotes Jonah Goldberg.
The war on Christmas represents a special kind of passive-aggressive jackassery because the aggressors deny they have declared a war. They simply take offense at Christmas cheer. They cancel Christmas pageants. They leave baby Jesus in a cardboard box in the church basement, but see nothing wrong with celebrating the Winter Solstice as if that’s a more rational thing to do. And then, when people complain about this undeclared war on Christmas, the aggressors mock and ridicule them for paranoia and hyperbole.
Much of what drives the left is their war on our Christian heritage and values. These latter-day Voltaires think they are free thinkers, standing up for truth and rationality when they are in reality our most deadly enemies since they have been willing to make common cause with Marxists and Islamists who also war against Christianity. Australia remains relatively unaffected by this, at least for now, but is far from unaffected. The hatred for Tony Abbott, for example, was in no small part driven by a widespread disdain on the left for his Christian beliefs.
