This is why the secular progressive movement is opposed to religion and attacks Christmas in particular so vehemently. Religious organizations ask of their followers to be personally responsible for their actions and teach that they will be held accountable for them, whereas the secular progressives feel the exact opposite. Our Founding Fathers based our laws on Judeo-Christian beliefs, self-reliance and personal responsibility. That is what has made the United States the most free, the fairest, most generous and most exceptional country (and by exceptional, I don’t mean the way Greeks think Greece is exceptional) that has ever graced the surface of this planet. We did not get there by doing whatever we like, whenever we wanted to do it.

In addition, what doctor will break his or her Hippocratic oath for your convenience? So while you chastise our state legislators, I thank them for not caving to your desires to commit suicide. Finally, because the secular progressive movement is so shallow and the vast majority of Americans are of strong character and willpower, it is destined to fail.
