Just a few minutes ago, I went over to the White House website to read today's press briefing, and what did I find? More proof that the White House has joined the liberal secular attack on Christmas! Below that, click today's White House Press Briefing to see the White House challenged by Les Kinsolving on their role in the War On Christmas.

QUESTION: Scott, a two-part question. I'm sure that I am not alone in being very grateful for the President and Mrs. Bush's invitation to what used to be the Christmas party for the media, but which now reads, "A Holiday Reception." And I hope -- my question is, I hope you and the President will understand, given the recent statement by Speaker Hastert emphasizing Christmas, why I am compelled to ask why the Bush White House has eliminated Christmas and replaced it with the world "holiday"?

MR. McCLELLAN: I don't know that that's accurate, that the Bush White House eliminated --

QUESTION: It is. Yes, it's no longer Christmas. It says, "holiday."

MR. McCLELLAN: This is a time to welcome people of all faiths, and all those who are celebrating the holiday season. The President just yesterday dedicated the National Christmas Tree to our men and women in uniform.

QUESTION: Christmas? Did you call it the Christmas, and not Holiday Tree?

MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, Les, just last night at the Pageant of Peace. And all of us can take part in different ways to celebrate the holiday season and remember those who are in harm's way and remember those who have lost their lives over the course of the past year.

That's not all, Les. If you qualify, you will also receive this spectacular Holiday card, compliments of the multi-cultural tax payers of America.

The White House’s 2005 holiday card is just out, and it doesn’t mention the word “Christmas” once. The card, mailed under the auspices of the Republican National Committee and signed by the president and his wife, reads, “With best wishes for a holiday season of hope and happiness 2005.” It also includes a passage from the Old Testament Book of Psalms.
