Embracing Seasonal Victimhood - A Republicon Tradition

Some so-called "social conservatives (R)" embrace a grandiose seasonal victimhood this time of year. Apparently, it makes them feel special to imagine that they are somehow being victimized by others who are merely following their own equally valid traditions.

Gail Collins spanks the naughty Republicons and their Faux Victimhood in today's NYT:

"In its ongoing effort to protect the American public from the War on Christmas, Fox News has a special online map highlighting current reported atrocities.

"I am looking at it now, and the message is clear: as problems go, this one is imaginary..." http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/opinion/collins-cultural-war-games.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20131205

Oh well, enjoy a lovely soul-sucking HOLIDAY WHINE with the victims (R) at Fox Propaganda (R).
