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!

once we get rid of the aclu then we won’t have to worry about what we call our religious symbols or where or how we display them in public. I still can’t understand why our republican congress continues to fund the aclu and planned parenthood.
