Where's Bill O'Reilly when you need him?
It looks like our Fox News friend may have been right after all. Christmas is under attack -- by people who haven't checked the calendar in about 140 years.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans in the Mobile suburb of Saraland raised hell and gave a rebel yell and generally refused to let anyone have a moment's rest until Monday night, when they received a guarantee that they could march, in uniform, in the city's Christmas parade this year. That's right: Middle-age guys in gray rebel uniforms will wave Confederate battle flags amid decorative floats topped by Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman.
The money quote from the Mobile Register's story: "[SCV] members argue the Confederate flags they throw are more sought after than candy or beads."
Merry Christmas indeed.
