I look at the membership of the biggest and most relentless anti-Christmas organization in the world, the ACLU.

Actually what the Christians should do is march and sing Christmas carols while proclaiming their devotion to Christ and let the Mayor send in police to arrest them. Christians don't have any more cheeks to turn.

The Mayor should be in jail for violating the free exercise clause of the 1A.

How much of a Muslim population does Denver have?

Soon Christmas will be criminalized, and we will all be Muslim, thanks to the ACLU.

LET EVERY CHURCH MEMBER IN THE CITY JOIN THEM.

THEN FILTER BACK OVER THE PARADE ROUTE WITH HIDDEN PLACARDS IN THEIR COATS TO BE RAISED WHEN THE PARADE STARTS.

PUSH THIS IDIOCY BACK DOWN THE PARADE ORGANIZER'S THROATS.

said no because it would be offensive.

"We try to be sensitive to the fact that we are a very diverse community and a very diverse world,"

You got it exactly. "Very diverse" = "said no". Offensive? Well, maybe it's offensive to the Protestants that they should be shunned in a Christmas parade. Diverse? No.

Denver is known for this. I would guess it's 'blue' county territory in a 'red' state. At least they made the freemasons happy, and the ACLU.

What about those of us who are offended by them banning "MERRY CHRISTMAS"?

Well that's obvious, we are the majority.

My question however, was who are these people that are offended by the word Christmas, or Christmas parade?

One poster said it is the liberal Jews.

It is PAST time for people to stand up and say NO MORE to this kind of nonsense, through controlled civil disobedience if necessary

We had a long running battle in our town over religious paintings being displayed at Christmas time in a city park here. It went on for years, but the courts finally overturned a judge's ruling that had banned them.

As soon as that happened, an out of state atheist group came in and hung a banner on the opposite side of the paintings proclaiming "Jesus is a Myth". That's when the fun begun. It was vandalized and burned numerous times and each time the atheist group would have travel down here to put it back up again. Police protection was ordered to protect it around the clock!

Then a friend of mine got the ingenious idea to have big motor home come in and block the cops view and he used it as cover to sneak over and cut it down again. It was all a real riot and front page news in our small town. They put it back up again, but they were being confronted more and more by irate citizens and they got scared and never came back.

THANKS TONS.

I sent a lot of emails similar to this one:

YOU BRAIN DEAD PUPPET MASTER STOOGES HAVE LOST YOUR DEMONIZED MINDS!

Perhaps you are begging God to allow one of the terrorist's nukes to hit Denver first????

I pray that the remaining good people of Denver rise up and toss you and your brain dead 'thinking' out of office and on the ash heap of history.

What utter nonsense.

And you think you want to live in a society where those shredding it are given honor and those preserving it are trashed?

Are you certifiably insane?

God have mercy on us!

Wake up, group! Times are a changing and you'd best end up on God's side. Eternal isolation from God is NO FUN!

Idiots. Sheer unmitigated idiots.

Most Sincerely,
