A mostly lighthearted look at the Right Wing's favorite fantasy. Which is: that "secular progressives" have declared a "war on Christmas"--part of their larger war to destroy Christianity, promote drug use, etc., etc.
We'll hear reflections by KD, ravings by Bill O'Reilly, a funny rebuttal by Jon Stewart, and a short history lesson. (The only real wars on Christmas were fought by the Puritan Christians.) Plus selections from a comic audio *collage* on the subject by Scooter.
This installment was previously broadcast, as NWN #302, in December 2013
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "gun") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
