Fouts labeled the “Winter Solstice” sign as “antagonistic toward all religions,” and said it would “serve no purpose during this holiday season except to provoke controversy and hostility among visitors and employees” at City Hall.
The LINK above to the article in the San Antonio paper is informative -- which includes quotes from protest letters sent to FFRF and given to the paper (which willingly reprinted them) that are off-color. I'm sure those kind of letters represent only a very small percentage of what that group received but....you know how it goes.
Put up a Nativity scene, and dare some one to mess with it. Don’t let the 1% push you around, ever. If they don’t like it tell them they are free to move to somewhere where other people share their views.
If atheists don’t believe....so what. Like John Adams said in a letter to his wife....”That’s their problem”.
All these groups: the ACLU, athiests, etc, were always paper tigers.
It’s only now we’re coming to realize it.
The strength has always been with the American people, TEA partiers and Christians.
You just had to be pushed enough.
I am not a religious person, but these in your face atheists disgust me. They are a bunch of attention wh**es that need to find a different hobby. They are no better than Barry and his cronies IMO.
Who funds these bastards?
We have needed to fight back for a long time. This, plus a phony “President” who denigrates Christianity, a religion he claims to a believer in . . . publicize every attempt by government officials and atheist losers and take the fight straight to them.
BTW MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone . . .including the atheist jerks
Why do these people rant and rave and enrage themselves over Someone who does not exist? Why do they let an imaginary Friend to the ignorant and uneducated affect them so much?
The courts will have two choices... Ever increasing court orders which are also ignored, or they can stop accepting these idiotic lawsuits and trying to twist legislative and constitutional intent to fit their rulings, something that is not only ever increasingly difficult, but truthfully is creating law from the bench, which is unconstitutional.
Besides, I don't see a nativity scene. What I see is an agricultural display on alternative uses for traditional, sustainable animal feeding devices and the joys of home birth.
That's my story
Oh how embarrassing it must be for this group when it is pointed out to them that the Constitution says Freedom OF Religion and not FROM. I have heard of making a typo but to NAME you group from a typo is just very bad.
Bttt

Love my state! God Blessed Texas!!
The Illinois Capitol Building has one of those ridiculous "disclaimers."
It is interesting to note the giant fireball that lit up four states occurred over Wisconsin. History has shown during the time of the great Chicago fire, a great meteor shower was the culprit and burned several other communities in the northern states. Is this precursor of things to come?
5,000 people showing up is pretty impressive considering Henderson has a population of 10-11K.
What else can get ~50% of the population of a town to show up?
Atheism is a religion. As such, they must then worship nature. So, I am offended by nature being displayed and demand that it be removed from all public spaces....
What the leftist aka progressive god haters cannot grasp is. There is no church of America. So there is a separation of church and state.
Scorn (for traditional religion, traditional family, traditional love of country) is one of the main reasons this major metropolitan newspaper has been reduced in size to that of a small community paper. And, they still don't get it.
