Okay, if you had left your last sentence off, this would have been a moderately good post.
So, I engage you on this, stay engaged in the debate, bring up new questions, but I'm apparently a liberal who wants no part of it?
_I_ have a problem with her description of Santa and Jesus. Not because I'm a liberal, but because it is absolutely idiotic to think that it is news worthy to talk about Santa's ethnicity. I don't care what was said afterwards, or what her intentions were. I am very convinced that she had no thought in her head that Santa was based on a dude from what is now turkey, she was thinking the holly, jolly old Santa that has a red nose and white beard. She was offended at the idea that he should be called anything but white. THAT is the only issue here.
Jesus was born to Jews in a Jewish part of the world. She was offended that Jesus be considered anything other than white. That's problematic, and someone who is a news anchor on a major network should not speak in ridiculous absolutes like this.
So, there it is. I do want part of this, I'm not a Liberal, I haven't distinguished between a Conservative and a Liberal argument, I merely addressed what she said, and how it's relevant. Think you could do the same?
