So what's up with this growing trend of majorities considering themselves the victims of discrimination just because they don't get absolutely everything they want?
As predictable as that winter will be cold, Fox News goes out of its way to decry the persecution of Christians just because some people are referring to the holiday... as a holiday.

As long as we don't mess with Squidmas, we'll be okay :)
