It's a religious holiday, and liberals are against the public expression of religion.
They're not saying it's illegitimate, just that it's legitimacy expressed outside of closed doors is offensive, contradicting their above statement that all religions are legitimate.

Christians are merging their faith with politics....Many Christians are merely as self-serving as every person else. For a individual to declare that purely their perspectives could desire to be allowed is the 1st action in any genocide. Liberals at the instant are not saying this...it is coming from the ideal. i'm a somewhat liberal individual...I settle for others as they're and have not have been given any activity in changing every person...i will't desire to do something yet preserve my very own individual, family and sources via persevering with to pass to artwork and performing a reliable citizen. It does me no service to rail against every person except they seem to be a bigot and intend to do those around me harm in some way. i don't have faith that there is a majority of people in usa that desire to interchange secular regulation for Christian regulation. it is an attempt via a minority to bully the rustic into adopting rules that dictate to others their very own lives and eliminate liberty

While I am not a Christian, I dig Christams and its giving attitudes, I dont like madison ave. and its commercialism, as a traditional American Indian living in the modern world we practice the give away, and celebrrate the winter and summer solstices, by giving away. I usually make gifts, pay anynomiously utility bills, we, ( My American Indian Movement Chapter) do a run each year to South and North Dakota, with toys, food, blankets, clothes, aand while ther we buy firewood and deliver it, go to propaine companies and prepay for fuel so that the old, poor and children can stay warm. Without christmas spirit the mainstream wouldnt be as eager to help us help others when we do our fund raising, by raffels, car washing, odd jobs, and we set up booths at powwows and other events.

Offensive is your generalization. I am a liberal and I love Christmas. Arrogance is what I dislike.

There is nothing offensive about Christmas. The government deemed it a federally observed holiday early in the 1900's because Christmas was taking on more of a secular meaning of gift giving and Goodwill toward men.
People who are offended by it do not realize federal holidays are not compulsory and no individual is forced to make an observance against their own free will...states even have the right to mandate change and observance of federal/bank holidays.
So, being offended they prove themselves shallow, closed minded whiners looking for some attention because their own life is so terribly attenuated and empty,
Alas, wish someone happy toaster day if it pleases you...don't be so friggin sensitive...if someone says happy christmas or happy haunaka....they are doing so out of genuine good-will...accept it with warmth and thanks...

I'm liberal. I don't think it's offensive in any way. I'm not even religious and I still take part in the festivities! Whether you celebrate the religious part or not is optional, and everyone shoudl have the right to do that.

Nothing wrong with Christmas. I don't label my political thoughts and beliefs as liberal or conservative. But if I was Muslim, Jewish, or Buddist, etc I would be offended if someone had "Merry Christmas" all over my town. I mean if you have a Jewish friend who would never said (in a right mind) Merry Christmas. Yes I understand our country was founded on Christianity, but times have evolved and so should how we carry ourselves. Be open. Happy Holidays keeps everyone happy and not offended. If you prefer Merry Christmas suck it up for once and respect that there are other that have different religions from you.
Always put yourself in someone else's shoes. Would you like it if someone Jewish came up to you and said Happy Hanukkah?
COME ON PEOPLE...WELCOME TO THE NEW GENERATION OF OPENNESS.

It's not offensive. I take it you're one of those people that wants to hear merry Christmas everywhere you go. I've got a question for you. Why should we say merry Christmas on any day other than Christmas? Nobody has ever told me happy fourth of July on July 3. Nobody says happy new year on December 31. Why is it that we're expected to say merry Christmas for almost a month?

No, liberals are not offensive during Christmas, only to those with hate in their minds.
