Jiminy Christmas!

In this day and age of political correctness, identity politics, and professional victimhood, I can hardly believe this. And in the UK, of all places.
Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims joined Britain's equality watchdog Monday in urging Britons to enjoy Christmas without worrying about offending non-Christians.

"It's time to stop being daft about Christmas. It's fine to celebrate and it's fine for Christ to be star of the show," said Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

"Let's stop being silly about a Christian Christmas," he said, referring to a tendency to play down the traditional celebrations of the birth of Christ for fear of offending minorities in multicultural Britain.
I almost despair at the fact that I see something like this and feel like I'm looking at some kind of revolutionary idea. Read the whole thing.
