Boy, oh boy. He's at it again. Who? Gil Smart. At what? That's the hard part. I've been trying to verbalize just what he does that irritates so many Lancastrians, including me, ever since I started mostly avoiding his column. Finally found what I think is the major piece of my puzzle.
He is a historical dunce. He either knows little or nothing about the history of Christianity in this country and county and doesn't care, or he has been brainwashed by the revisionists.
Take the "Smart Remarks" of Dec. 2. He is basically saying that the Christians have been on the attack by making noise about the shift from "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays." It has been the Christians who are under attack by the secularists that brought on the reaction to store clerks being pressured to do secular-speak. Not the other way around.
I attended a Grandparents' Day event recently. The students were going through an exercise having to do with Thanksgiving. There was nearly a half-hour of multiple-choice questions about the nature of that holiday, but not a word as to whom we were to give thanks.
Blather all you want, Mr. Smart. I know differently.

What a great comment, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Gil's columns not only contain numerous factual errors, but contain the twisted logic of a person that is truly misinformed by the liberal media.
That's why I requested that Gil's column be removed from the Lancaster section and placed in perspective where less people will hopefully be misled by Mr. "Smart's" not-so-smart columns.
Isn't twenty years of Smart Remarks enough? It should have been shut down about 19 3/4 years ago.
