There are so many nations to chose from. Why do we get so lucky with some of these idiots?

[pissant]

True, but it will not stop idiots in Massachusetts from calling their tree the "holiday" tree. Of course, they may not realize that holiday means holy day....yet.

[steel_resolve]

SO now the Jewish lobby is against Christmas!?! WTF? Fine. It was Christmas, is Christmas, and always will be Christmas. When Hannukah rolls around, I want all mention of the Jewish holiday stricken from the media. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

They are Leucadia Town Council, Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Southern California and Girl Scouts Seacoast Service Unit in Encinitas.

The town council is playing PC madness. The dog club is probably a buncha peta wannabees, and the girl scouts have been infested by the homo/rainbow agenda for years. They won't be missed.

A Christmas Card to the Mayor would work! :-)

Egzakery...... They are welcome to put on a Hannaku parade if they so wish. A Christmas parade is not anti- anything, it is simply Pro- Christmas.

[pissant]

Freedom means the freedom to be a disgusting retard, I guess.

[Political Junkie Too]

I thought they reversed course because the Canadian donor complained that he's been donating a "Christmas" tree for the past 30 years?

And the stinker is that most claiming to be offended are not even slightly offended. They are just trying to tear down the country bib by bit.

[DoughtyOne]

That's true. That's why I don't have any guilt over thinking he's a moron.

Rabbi David Frank of Temple Solel said many of the 800 households in his congregation will not attend.
TFB - it's their loss.

"It makes it very difficult, obviously, to participate in this specifically Christian observance," Frank said.
Oh, so just changing the name back to Holiday Parade would make it okay? It's not too often you find a man of the cloth telling a fib.

Pssst, hey Rabbi ... Christ was Jewish.

[pissant]

I'm thinking the same thing....though agreeing with YOU scares me! ;o)

[JoeSixPack1]

LOL!! :-)

[redrock]

Good for the Mayor...he made the correct decision.

Oh...and BTW....(all those who are offended may want to close their eyes at this point).......

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

We go to a neighbor's Hannukah party every year, and hardly find it an insult to ourselves as Christians.

I wish someone would tell the Jews at the local Temple mentioned in this article that instead of thumbing their noses at Christmas it would be better to reach out in reciprocal friendship. Jews and Christians should support each other. Let them give a Hannukah party and invite a few Christians to share in the festivities and gain a better understanding of Judaism.

Let me guess. They have a liberal Rabbi.

Or have a Christmas-Channukah-Kwanzaa-Ramadan-Ghambar Maidyozarem Parade. Whoever boats their float.

[Syberyenta]

Hanukkah, the "Festival of Lights," starts on the 25th day of the Jewish calendar month of Kislev and lasts for eight days and nights. In 2005 Hanukkah begins at sundown on December 25.

a.k.a Christmas Day ! Everybody enjoy the parade!

[Right Wing Assault]

There is a NATIONAL holiday called Christmas. Get used to it. That's how it's going to be.

[pissant]

Did they? Then good. But just the idea that the libs in MA would even contemplate it is proof of their general worthlessness.

[tutstar]

OK cities of America, here is your example! We're sick and tired of politically correct nonsense.

It's Christmas Charlie Brown!!
