Except....

I am starting to agree with some of the other posters. Next year, there will be no Menorah at SeaTac. There will be no Cross.

And there will be no trees.

The only way the Rabbi could make this whole thing work is to turn it into an argument about religion. He would have no standing to argue if it was just a cultural issue, if I was from Lower Bagoombah or something I couldn't sue the Port to put up my type of decorations. Well, I could, but it would never get anywhere.

But personally, I can't help but feel it is sort of a sham. What good does it do to SUE to get some religious view into the spotlight? Especially if, like in this case, it makes people angry and disenchanted?

So all the Rabbi (or any other adherent or fanatical type) need do is find just the tiniest hint of Christianity anywheres. The tiniest hint.

Then they can sue, and get the whole thing revamped, and disenfranchise the people who, like it or not, pretty much built this country.

The whole "separation of church and state" thing is a MYTH. The first amendment was written that way because the founders knew they would not be able to hold the government together unless they expressly forbade the Federal government from having anything to do with religion. They wouldn't touch that one with a ten foot pole. They punted it back to the States and communities.

And remember that 53 of them were Protestants, it's not like we're talking about a bunch of atheists here.

So that's it.
Our CULTURE is being stripped from us based on a BAD THEORY about religion. And the ACLU, many liberals, slap happy judges, and fanatics pushing an agenda will have their way.

And I include the rabbi in that group. What he did was, if not outright selfish, very self serving. And I know enough to assume he knew what was really going on here.

You're probably right. And now that I'm angry and depressed I'm going to bed.
