I think this really just backfires for liberals and kooky secular humanists. It demonstrates how nutty they are. And it just intensifies the dedication and devotion of conservative Christians. If some liberal jerk or secular humanist dork wants to play King Herod or the Grinch, they just show how silly and ridiculous they are. The Mayor's using his public office to censor Christians doesn't reflect well on other faiths who stand silently by and allow it. It would have been a nice gesture if Colorodans of the Jewish faith had said to the Mayor. "If you won't recognize Christians and Christmas, we won't participate."

In the context of the Christmas/Holiday celebration, I don't know what the city calls it, the city already bans expression of the Jewish faith on public property. That's why they invited the Mayor to the Jewish Community Center.

"If you won't recognize Christians and Christmas, we won't participate."Laura Ingraham had an African-American guest on her radio show today who tried to get a religious float in the Denver Christmas parade. Maybe a choir, possibly even singing secular songs at times. Nope - no chance. The Native-Americans did get their float in though. Something with a theme about conjuring spirits - or keeping the evil kind away. Gays and lesbians will be well represented, as well...
