This could only happen in an Islamic/Muslim controlled country!

Are we at war?

What if some sick scumbag wanted to display a Nativity scene, but with a very sick, pornographic twist? Would it be allowed?

If this is accurate, its totally ridiculous. My local library here in the Northwest has featured religious art from local indian tribes, (totem poles and such) which is as religious to them as anything...I have also seen religious art from various other cultures from Africa and so forth displayed in public places all over the country. If christianity is not on a par that's just plain wrong.

Of course it would be allowed, especially if Joseph is busy with a sheep and the three wise men were engaged in a queer way.

But library officials said the five images of Jesus were not permitted because they were "inappropriate" and "offensive."

No doubt they are to some I can think of; Satan, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Al Qaeda, Iranian Mullahs, the ACLU, Athiests of America.

But, who wants to be included in their company, and why should we pay any attention to them?

We are all equal. Political Correctness sees to it that some of us are more equal than others. It is an antiChristian act.

Nobody can use you for a doormat, unless you are willing to lay down and let them. Until more people decide that they are just sick and tired of this nonsense, it will never stop. I for one do not miss any opportunity to wish people a Merry Christmas, and if they are miserable hearing that, then it is thier problem, not mine!

Between the porn and the scumbags the SCOTUS says have the right to inhabit libraries, it's on my list of places NOT to let my children go. Libraries are for perverts and pedophiles. Come to think of it, the idea of a picture of Jesus hanging in a library really is sort of offensive...disrespectful, at least.

Time for some private christian-friendly libraries.

This has got me thinking.

Most art museums have lots of religiously oriented paintings, mainly because that was the subject matter of the early masters, such as Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo, Michaelangelo etc.

PC logic, if consistent with itself, would surely require the removal of any art by these guys from any museum that accepts any sort of government aid. Most of 'em, probably.

The library officials are offensive and should be removed. You get nowhere against the left until conservatives get and use the power of the state to hire and fire professors, administrators and officials and then privatize everything so it doesn't happen again. In fact, the best way to get rid of these offensive people is to remove guaranteed public salaries.

Libraries all over the nation are getting my goat big time. They are a bunch of Kerrying idiots who have their values backwards!

Excellent news!

This helps sharpen the contradictions of American Socialism.

I'm with you! We must insist on the right to say, "Merry Christmas," before we lose the right.
