96. The point of the cartoon is embodied in the little girl's statement...
...that the Santa she believes in doesn't divide people.

It's a criticizm of driving the cultural wedge, and it's saying that Democrats do it too, and it's even worse when Democrats do it because it contradicts what they say they stand for: the freedom to believe what you want, a desire to help people who are less fortunate (remember the comment about people in trailer parks?).

It was so much more than equal-opportunity crticism. It was making a much bigger argument.
