Actually, that would be a “hugh” mosque, since you are on FR.
I Clarksville? Really?
Things have changed a lot out there since I was a kid.
School just got out and I just got back from a great Veterans Day Assembly here at the high school where I teach. We have one every year and it is always great, starts with the pledge and anthem. One kid on the other side of the gym didn’t stand, soon there was a teacher wagging a finger in his face. We have the teachers who are vets stand and then honor the students who have enlisted.
In the front of my class there are about 50 shoe boxes for Franklin Graham’s Operation Christmas Child. School email was used to promote this and several classrooms have boxes in them just like mine does.
Life is good in the Ozarks. Please don’t tell the ACLU that we are here.
Great comments!
Hey, that’s my old stomping rounds, Bellbroke is a pretty area and needs NO MOSQUE.
***Fine. Cancel the “Christmas” vacation where the school is closed for a couple of weeks. For just a “holiday” a long weekend should be adequate. Ditto all the government offices.***
Great! I’m all for it.
Devistate: it’s Bellbrook, not Bellbroke.
We own property in Bellbrook, Ohio.
The Plant City Living Center has told Mrs. Arnold, an 85-year-old grandmother in Florida, that federal law prohibits her from displaying any religious words or items associated with Christmas in the common area of her apartment building.
According to the Center, The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a directive banning “any religious symbols or religious words associated with Christmas.” Under the guidelines issued by HUD, the elderly grandmother cannot place a small Christmas tree outside her door (because that area is a “commons area”) if it contains any religious symbols or religious words, even an angel!
If the residents want to have a Christmas party in their Community room, they cannot call it a Christmas party. The Center says HUD directs residents not to use the word “Christmas” but to use the word “Holiday.”
A Sunday School class from a church near Mrs. Arnold’s apartment comes every year to host a Hanging of the Greens and Christmas Party for all the residents. She said the highlight of their Christmas Party comes at the very end of The Hanging of the Greens when someone places the angel on top of their Christmas tree. Their tradition is now banned by the federal government.
The federal government is becoming increasingly active in banning Christianity from the public square. Earlier, the National Park Service removed the wording “Laus Deo” (Latin for “Praise be to God”) from a replica of the cap of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. and the Veterans Administration banned the script of the flag-folding ceremony mentioning “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” and “Father, Son and Holy Ghost” at over 100 national cemeteries. Both of these were rescinded after AFA supporters sent emails to proper authorities.
Sorry, my bad. The Bellbrook and Spring Valley area is very nice indeed.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
For those living in the Land of Satan: move!
Still can’t spell others schools’ names, eh? ;-)
OMG! Which corner!?
That is what you get when you let Kolumbia spread its poison - they’re killing “Clarksville” (there will be none soon) and I’m sure pushing more “diversity” BS. Figures Kolumbia would allow a full-fledged MOSQUE whereas usually 1 must be content with their pathetic “Interfaith Centers”.
I am SO moving out of supporting Kolumbia’s CA.
Libs really hate it when you reveal that “Maryland” was really named for the Blessed Virgin Mary and NOT a mere unimportant monarch named specifically “Henrietta Maria”.
Sorry. Beat Atholton. It’s been a long time.
Glenelg is easy, of course, since it’s the same both ways...
Very cool, is it not?
I’m a How-weird person myself. I’m scared how bad that has become.
I drive past Howard County all the time, but I can bring myself to stop. It just makes me too sad.
Columbia is ruining the entire western part of HowCo. All the agriculture and horse farms are gone because of people moving out of Columbia to their McMansions in the west. The mosque is off 108, past River Hill High School. I consider that Clarksville, but I think, technically, it’s Columbia or Ellicott City.
Yes, now it’s “River Hill, subsidiary of Kolumbia”, and hardly called Clarksville any more (heck, I was baptized there at that St. Louis Catholic).
Unfortunately, most of “urban sprawl” means only 1 thing - liberal sprawl. We all know that Kolumbia is very much full of itself and its liberal ideals (”what would James Rouse do?”).
Like all liberal enclaves (i.e., urban), some liberals will want to escape the taxes, move to some “conservative” place that doesn’t tax, then continue their general mindset of liberalism, which changes the place wholesale and leads to - taxation. They seem to want it both ways.
Monty Co. is ruining Frederick, Baltimore is ruining Shrewsbury, PA, and so on, and so on.
