How ‘the war on Christmas’ became a political rallying cry

Published on Dec 25, 2017 by PBS NewsHour [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6ZFN9Tx6xh-skXCuRHCDpQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/PBSNewsHour , https://www.youtube.com/user/PBSNewsHour/videos ]

President Trump wrote on Twitter Monday that he was proud to have led the charge against the "assault" on the phrase "Merry Christmas." Why do some feel that there is a "war on Christmas"? William Brangham discusses how Christmas, politics and American culture intersect with Amy Sullivan, author of "The Party Faithful," and Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council.

TTA Podcast 249: The War on Christmas

Published on Dec 1, 2015 by TheThinkingAtheist [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeYP27qLtfUMY1b1Cyy3WdQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/TheThinkingAtheist , https://www.youtube.com/user/TheThinkingAtheist/videos ]

"War On Christmas" has been used so much in the media, it has become a parody of itself. And yet many still hold to the belief that the baby Jesus is under attack by atheists and secular humanists, and the protests sound at full volume every December.

In this broadcast, we talk about some of the noise out there, and we speak to Andrew Seidel of the Freedom From Religion Foundation about the holiday, church/state separation, lawsuits over nativity scenes, atheist holiday celebrations and more.

"You all just got a lot richer," Trump tells friends, referencing tax overhaul - further/reply to http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=137160707
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-mar-a-lago-christmas-trip/

Trump reportedly told friends at Mar-a-Lago 'you all just got a lot richer' hours after signing tax bill
President Donald Trump reportedly told friends at his swanky Mar-a-Lago resort "You all just got a lot richer," hours after signing the GOP's massive tax bill.
Republicans have touted the measure as a boon to working class families, and Trump told supporters at a November rally that the bill would hurt him and other wealthier Americans.
But an analysis from the non-partisan Tax Policy Center found that over time, corporations and wealthy Americans will see the most benefits from the tax code overhaul.
