Typical liberals. In the name of diversity, they ban Christians and Christmas.

Since Christmas is a federal holiday then maybe Denver should stop getting federal funds.

Hit them in the pocketbook!

Gee .. I guess this also means Santa is also banned from saying the traditional HO HO HO Merry Christmas

And what about Tiny Tim in the the "Christmas Carol" .. I guess they'll have to ban that show too

...church group said since it cannot be in the parade, it will march one hour before this weekend's Parade of Lights, pass out hot chocolate and sing Christmas carols.

How long you figure it'll be until they're forbidden to do that too?

Gunny Bob suggested that everyone show up with a 'Merry Christmas' sign and sing all the traditional Christmas carols during the parade.

Sounds like a plan to me. Defend your right to free speech.

Au Contraire, in the perverse Liberal world, Santa would say "Ho? Ho? Ho? Santa needs a new Ho!"

Let's just turn it into a RECALL HICKENLOOPER PARADE!

(Tie a red ribbon around him and send him to the ACLU as a CHRISTmas present.)

Typical secularists. I don't care which party they belong to. Secularists believe in taking Christ out of Christmas.

I have Sirius satellite radio and right now, and ever since last Friday, it's been tuned to the Holiday Music channel. Nothing but Christmas tunes 24/7. :)

My wife and I lived in CO from 68 to 77. We never saw this kind of behavior. In the last 20 years, our friends have explained that there is an exodus from CA to CO. Maybe this explains this behavior in CO.

That's bs. I froze my fingers off holding the ropes for a giant Snoopy balloon when I was a kid as a volunteer in that parade on behalf of Machebeuf Catholic High School in Denver.

It makes me sick to think that this is tolerated in Denver.
