Republicans Freak Out Over A Cup; War On Christmas Is A Joke

It’s that time of year again – The War On Christmas. Republicans have begun this year’s freakout over a red cup being used by Starbucks, which they believe indicates a war on Christian ideology. These people will whine about anything these days.

Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

You get people angry at hot button topics that are meaningless and they won't ask questions about other things.

I have watched Republicans use religion to flog their constituent congregations to the polls most of my life.

Convince them that the other side isn't religious enough or the right religion, and they won't ask about what Republicans want to do with the power they are given.
