If the a-holes who don't want to let him put down his creche (whatever that is), he should put it in his own yard. If the town tells him to remove it, he should tell them to get lost. If it's a gated community and they want him to remove it, he should tell them to get lost and if that doesn't work he should move to some place sane at the soonest opportunity. Some battles aren't worth fighting. As for Christianity, ask yourself whether the depth of your faith should be measured by the number of "creches" you place in the public square.

that's not the issue. We've been fighting the ACLU secularists for years. This town decided to put up one and only one religious symbol, a Menorah. Mr. Rittel wanted some parity for the Christmas Season and donated a Nativity Scene to the town to put up "along" with the menorah. The judge gave an ultimatum, put the Christian symbol next to the Jewish one or have none. They chose to have none.

Some battle aren't worth fighting>>>

are you kidding, the ACLU has been suing, mostly poor cities and towns, all over the country for decades to have them remove nativity scenes and other Christmas decorations from city property. It's about time a Republican puts his money where his mouth is and fights.

Battles like these are extremely important, because it is the Left that wishes to alter our culture into one that is Godless and devoid of Christianity. Creches aren't about the depth of faith. They are a celebration of the birth of the central figure of it. Celebrating and worshiping are expressly protected by the Constitution. I believe that the presence of a creche reminds us of the freedoms we are given.

I'd like to see everyone put up a creche and a menorah this year, regardless of your religion, for two reasons. 1) Jesus was a important figure, whether you believe in his divinity or not, who taught wisdom for the ages, and 2) to show solidarity in the fight against those who would suppress the freedom to worship.
