Evaluate a speaker’s point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric, identifying any fallacious reasoning or exaggerated or distorted evidence.
I agree with the speaker that the "'War on Christmas'" is being lengthened by people that follow "liberal ideology". When I think about it, Christmas seems to be the only holiday (that I know of) that has people that are willing to discard traditional values. It also seems to be a major holiday that isn't really even mentioned much in school. I mean, I get that there's people that don't celebrate Christmas, but "it's estimated that 80 percent of the world's population is Christian and believe that Christmas is one of the holiest days of the year". I also don't get why there are people that "want to rename a Christmas Tree a Holiday tree". People who celebrate other holidays don't get people trying to change the way they celebrate their holiday, so why should we? I remember thinking how weird it was in elementary school that we got to sing songs about Hanukah, other holidays, and some winter songs, but not a single song about Christmas. I remember my class had someone come in and teach us about Hanukah. Why not Christmas as well?
