"For religious conservatives, howling over the so-called 'war on Christmas' has
become an annual holiday tradition almost as enjoyable as Christmas itself. On Tuesday,
Sarah Palin seeks to capitalize on the phenomenon with the release of her newest book,
Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas."


"The book is part tribute to the joys of Christmas, part how-to guide for oppressed Christians
looking for ways to fight back against whiny and litigious secularists, and part manifesto
on the general superiority of Christianity over atheism. Palin, throughout, appears incapable
of fathoming why a business catering to people from all walks of life may prefer to use
inclusive holiday-season language in promotional items, or why a non-Christian may not
appreciate a government institution expressing a preference for Christianity over other
religions."

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
