The group paid for the decorations out of their own pocket and included a Nativity scene, but Mayor Miko Pickett reportedly asked that it be removed, fearing it would offend residents of other faiths.

Too bad. This is America. We celebrate Christmas.

If *other faiths* don't like it, they can leave.

Besides, the she's using this faux concern over the feelings of others to justify her personal agenda so she comes out looking like the good guy for allegedly thinking of others, instead of the bad guy for being the snot she is.

This is her personal vendetta against Christians no doubt and she's using others to cover for it.

“Too bad. This is America. We celebrate Christmas.

“If *other faiths* don’t like it, they can leave.”

Something similar happened with us a couple years ago. Our quilting group made Christmas quilts for children in a hospital in Knoxville.

The group leader said the hospital requested that none of the quilts have a religious theme in any way. Santa, Grinch, snowflakes are fine, but definitely no Baby Jesus, etc. The very existence of a Christian-themed quilt might be offensive to others.

The kids and their parents could choose ANY one they wanted, but that wasn’t good enough. They might SEE something Christian. That was the end of my participation in the project.

Anyhow, I figured what you said, I.e., “If *other faiths* don’t like it, they can leave.”
