If our Christmas Trees are called Holiday trees, then these Menorahs are going to be called Holiday Candlebras. DO NOT USE THE TERM MENORAH if we can’t use the tern CHRISTMAS!!! Fair is FAIR. Holiday Candlebras for all!
Being Jewish, I’m quite confused about this whole thing...
I happened to see the lighting of the “National Menorah” on CSPAN. I know that there’s also a “National Christmas Tree.” My issue is one that you make... While the Christmas Tree isn’t directly related to the Christian religious celebration, the Menorah IS.
Frankly, this whole thing pisses me off, and I’m of the belief that there SHOULD be a “National Nativity Scene.” If we’re going to have a federal holiday called “Christmas,” and given the fact that the majority of people in the US are Christians and celebrate Christmas, then I wish the whiny ba$tard$ would STFU and allow people to celebrate Christmas! Yes, on public land! There, I said it!
What we’ve got now is the “tyranny of the minority,” and I’m really tired of it!
