So how are they going to get rid of the traffic problem if they ban red and green lights? They must have the worst city engineer in the USA. I have had to stop three times at the same light!! The lights are designed to impede traffic not to facilitate the flow.

I will do my part. I will not participate in your red lights by not going to Ft. Collins. They are just a left wing hate mongering city any way. Hey Ft. Collins “Taze this Worship Christ!”

Sounds like the California transplants are trying to take over Colorado.

If they add gold lights (to the red and green) they cover Kwanzaa; add blue and white you got Chanukah covered. But wait, isn’t that a STRING OF MULTI-COLORED LIGHTS?!?!?!?!?

Ah, yes. Diversity Lights!

Christians really need to “go on strike” for Christmas & let the merchants and everyone else see that they need to be careful what they wish for.

We have. That's why KMart, Home Depot and Lowes (to name a few) have suddenly "got religion" and started selling Christmas trees instead of "Holiday Trees" and they have started wishing their customers "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays".

local sheriff reportedly has vowed to decorate a Christmas tree -- with multicolored lights -- regardless of the council's decision.

This could get interesting. If this goes down and the sheriff draws a line in the sand over this and there is any action to take down the tree people could end up in jail.

Why no, Mr. Taskforce Officer. I’m not celebrating Christmas, that’s our family tree and those red and green chili pepper lights are in support of illegal aliens.

I was thinking communists and ecowhackos, but in the same vein...

So ice and snow should be banned because someone, somewhere, worships something associated with it, too. (The Gorite church of warmth-hating fruitcakes)

Red, Green and White...also the color of the Italian flag.

But do they have a poll?

In true “Animal Farm” logic Freedom of Religion has now become Freedom From Religion. The Constitution be damned.

Colorado was getting 'Californicated' in the '70s

Rocky Mountain High....was the marching song

Just tell them that your are celebrating Festivus.

What about the rest of us who don't want to celebrate Festivus?

I imagine that it would be okay so long as you do not have any coloured lights...or a tree...or any carols...or any fun...

Brother wants to see some black lights.

Black lights are like, way cool, man! But then we'd have to all wear white shirts for the full effect and that brings us back to whitey again.

You and your family are free to do just that if that is what you want.

Check out this thread. CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC has researched the members. He is also going to attempt to speak at the public meeting tonight.

Red and Green are the colors of the Mexican flag.

Red and green are also found in the flags of many Islamic countries such as Iran, Syria, Sudan, and the Palestinian Authority, so it seems Fort Collins is a hotbed of ethnocentricity and racism.

Reparations!!

Its this plantation mentality that keeps the color black out of the rainbow.
We all know there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...unless your black!
