Halloween Display Seen As Symbol of Hate

I remember Halloween as a kid. I'd dress up and go either trick or treating or costume parties.

Liberal alert. This woman is an appeaser. "Oh, I'm sorry, I offended you, please destroy more of my property."

Liberal appeasers aka gutless tundra.

Welcome to 2005. This has just been a preview of the civil war to come. For the next act, they will attempt to remove my American Flag from my house. Then your house. Then your city.

[oyez]

They call themselves a democratic movement at that. Sounds like they are more like the Democratic Party than any thing else.

To its owner, "Bob" was a Halloween decoration.
What an insult! I am not a Halloween decoration and I never have been.

LOL

[Ptarmigan]

They always talk about the second civil war. Could happen in the next 10 years at least. I wonder if there is a way to stop the civil war from happening?

[ConservativeGadfly]

Didn't you know? Thanksgiving has already been targeted. Hateful imperialist brutal pilgrims, dontcha know. And that troublesome little Christian element to it as well.

Sigh.

P.S. My birthday is on Halloween and I've thought it was always great fun -- hate to see it come to this! I was probably about 6 years old before I figured out that everyone didn't go trick or treating for their birthdays!

Do a search on this wacko lib, Omali Yeshitela.

He does this for a living. His income producing job is to be a professional Kerry-wing wacko.

SOB did this to me I'd sue his ass. And that's if I didn't catch him trespassing.

[Ptarmigan]

The Indians too were involved. They helped the pilgrims in their hardship in present day Massachusetts.

[Ptarmigan]

This guy is beyond insane. Insane is too kind of a word.

[Cultural Jihad]

Gees, Halloween is not exactly a Christian holiday, yet. . .

Actually, it is. The feast of All Saints Day is celebrated on November 1st, and Hallowe'en is really a vigil feast, known as "All Hallows Even."

What's a Uhuru?

[Ptarmigan]

Oh OK. I know Christmas is both a Christian and Pagan holiday. Christmas because of Jesus's birthday supposedly and the winter solstice celebration among Pagans.

[Focault's Pendulum]

I don't particularly like the guy down the street Christmas display every year with the lighted reindeer mating, but he has the right to do it.

Thank you. This year I'm gonna add elves going at it. I'll try not to mix them up, so's long as the eggnog doesn't get to me.

[Cultural Jihad]

What's a Uhuru?

It means "freedom" in Swahili.

[Texas_Jarhead]

I am to understand that people trespassed to destroy someone's personal property?

[Guynethia]

If he's the "leader" of the group, I'd hate to meet the followers.

Mr. Yeshitela added, "I intend to make sure the meaning of 'Never again,' is never forgotten. I am an idiot, and we vote the way I tell my followers!"

[jonrick46]

Imagine the havoc I would create if I had a Frankenstein looking monster strangely resembling John Kerry in a dark suit wearing a large John Kerry button. Would they would send in the jack booted swat team to take my children away and shove a M-1 in my mouth?

[ArrogantBustard]

On Tuesday, as police officers on the scene scrambled to contact the homeowner at work, Yeshitela and others from the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement tore the dummy down.

Will someone please explain to me why the police didn't arrest these worthless communist turds for trespass, vandalism, destruction of property, and mopery with intent to lurk?
