December 25th was a normal working day, the authorities considered Christmas ideologically hostile, and Santa was replaced with Grandpa Frost, who brought gifts on New Year’s Eve. “Happy holidays” is literally cultural Marxism.

The myth persists that WASPs are wealthy elites running things from behind the scene, despite all evidence to the contrary. Now many people who are in fact of English descend are unwilling to identify themselves as such, or if they have a scant amount of some more ‘vibrant’ ancestry they will identify as that. We are the ‘ethnicity that dare not speak its name.’ Yet few WASPs notice, or want to notice, our marginalization.

I used to say Happy Holidays, but now that the Left has become so bossy about being non-offensive I look for ways to stick it to them. It’s just one small gesture, but at least it’s something.
