I believe the most proper response to Judge Cohen is that the tree is not a Christian symbol, so her ruling is absurd on its face. You'd think someone she knows would have mentioned it, but then, it also appears no one she knows has enough education to know this.
I always thought the CHristmas tree was pagan.
I know where I would like to hide that tree. It might be a tight fit, but it could go. Might make a great decoration viewed as the judge walks by too.
Last night Larry the Cable Guy was interviewed on 60 Minutes (first time I've watched that show in years) and he was asked about political correctness. His response?
"I think some people should get their thumb out of their mouth and grow up a little."
All Jewish people named Tannenbaum have to change their names.
I'll bet that Muslims likely worry a lot more about having a judge named Cohen in front of them, as well as the disproportionate representation of Jews as lawyers and jurists than they do about Christmas trees too.
Received this e-mail from a friend.
Just about sums it up.
