No, it's not horrible. Religious tolerance in America is the legacy our Protestant forefathers who fled religious intolerance in Europe. That's what this is all about.

Are you saying it's tolerant for a mayor to further and actively emasculate a Christian celebration in a predominately Christian nation like this guy did? Sure he caved, but it will be the same crap next year.

Christmas celebrated by Christians does not threaten religious tolerance. Yet we've been forced to secularize it gradually to the point where any non-Christian can derail any expression of Christian faith anywhere, anytime.

That is just as bad for Judaism as it is for Christianity.
