Charles Dickens must have had American liberals in mind when he first thought of the character Ebenezer Scrooge for his book, "A Christmas Carol". At the very least, I think that in some strange prophetic way, he foresaw the characteristics of 21st century Democrats and members of the American Civil Liberties Union while writing about Mr. Scrooge.
Just like Scrooge at the start of the Dickens tale, liberals have little use for Christmas. Unlike Scrooge after the visit of the three ghosts, liberals will never change their warped way of thinking.
