Bullcorn.You know damm well Krampus is more your style,not jolly St.Nick.Santy is obviously a liberal,he hands out free stuff to everyone.
Nothing wrong with free as long as the taxpayers don't have to foot the bill for it.
Every Christmas I donate to the USMC Toys for Tots out of my own pocket, not John Q. Taxpayer's pockets.

So does Santa if you haven't noticed.
Santa's boots are black,that dosent make them Jack boots.I have a pair of black boots also and I don't consider them to fall under that definition.
He has stopped handing out coal,he's very environmentally conscious.Bad kids now get a bag of reindeer poop.
You'll be getting enough to grow a garden.
The Santa that came down my chimney when I was a lad wore jackboots, got drunk on spiked eggnog, and beat his reindeer with a whip.

I feel like it might help if I explain why I asked about critical thinking and whether it is being taught in high school or not. Ezra you are American, are you not? I have been told that in America critical thinking is not a standard taught early in one's education, that many people don't encounter the concept until they reach college. I was simply wondering if that was the case where you are, if your high school perhaps was one of the ones I was told about that don't teach critical thinking skills. I'm sorry if that came across as rude and dismissive, that wasn't my intent. I really just wanted to know if that was something you had been taught because not everyone has been taught to think for themselves and how to critically analyse the information that comes at them. I hope this explanation clears up this issue and we can continue in a more civil tone going forward.
So cause he's not questioning his somewhat conservative views, he needs some kind of conditioning in school to be more capable of critical thinking? Irony alert

Sir, that hasn't been taught since I was in high school(41 years ago). Even then, it was barely taught. I really didn't get any sense of critical thinking until I was in graduate school (and that was 33 years ago.). The only thing the politicos care about nowadays is that the current crop of indoctinese can pass the standardized exams and can regurgitate the pablum back to the instructor verbatim. I'm not even going to comment further about this generation, as 1) most instructors are hamstrung by their administrators on their teaching methods and 2) most of this generation's parents don't give a crock of sh!t.
