"I grew up celebrating a Christ-centered Christmas and am not willing
to give it up simply to make others feel good. I will not allow these
same people to force me to give up my beliefs to prove to them that I am
not against theirs. Why should a Muslim woman be allowed to refuse me service at the
grocery store because I have pork in my basket? Why should one atheist
be allowed to prevent an opening prayer at a school graduation? Why
should a Muslim taxi driver be allowed to refuse me a ride because I
have a bottle of wine with me? We are a Christian nation founded upon Christian principles. Why
should I have to deny my beliefs in order for you to have yours?" — Raynard Jackson, moderate Republican political analyst, on the annual controversy surrounding Christmas celebrations in America
