Everything must be secularized, even the birth of the Lord.
LA Times reports so much for the holiday spirit. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is once again targeting the Obama administration, leveling a critical glare at the official White House holiday greeting card for not emphasizing Christmas.
The card, seen above, was created for the Obama family by L.A. artist and designer Mark Matuszak. It features an image of Bo, the Obama family dog, in front of a fireplace in the White House library with a poinsettia and other decorations. The card, which makes no direct mention of Christmas and doesn't feature a Christmas tree, states: "From our family to yours, may your holidays shine with the light of the season."
Palin told Fox News that she found it "odd" that the card emphasizes the dog instead of traditions like "family, faith and freedom." She also said that Americans are able to appreciate "American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree."

The Spectacle Blog says:
“Notice the L.A. Times doesn't even call it a "Christmas Card." But it seems to be defending the Obamas against Palin's complaint about their way secular official White House Christmas card, suggesting Palin isn't displaying the appropriate "holiday" spirit by publicly complaining about it. So "Christmas" is on its way to becoming like the term "pro-life," of use only in conservative circles?
What I try to teach in this blog is that Liberals are bereft of any kind of values based on absolute truths. Their world is based on “cultural relativism” which is to say anybody’s truth is just as legitimate as the next person’s truth. What results is culture based on “the popular” within the associated groups. So basically anything goes.
