Geez, it sounds like the nut cases in Boulder have escaped, and invaded Fort Collins.
Call them Kwanza lights and watch their heads explode from their brain contortions.
Why no, Mr. Taskforce Officer. I’m not celebrating Christmas, that’s our family tree and those red and green chili pepper lights are in support of illegal aliens.

That’s racist.
Red and Green are the colors of the Mexican flag.

These people have nothing better to do????? Typical example of why our government, in general, isn’t working. The people in Fort Collins need to get rid of these people and find some that actually do the peoples business for a change. I’m sure that if they look around, there should be something they could be doing of more value.
Maybe I should file a complaint that I am offended by traffic lights (except for the yellow one in the middle).

Is this for real?
Actually - I’m finding myself liking the idea of turning Christmas back into a religious holiday for those of us that celebrate Christ’s birthday.
I’d like to see people have to go to work on Christmas. I’d like to see stores not decorate or advertise for Christmas shoppers & just have business as usual. I’d like to see people gather with their families and go to a church service for Christmas and stop spending the obscene amounts of money for gifts none of us need with merchants that don’t want to say the word “Christmas”, but want us to spend our “Christmas” money with them.
I’d like to see an end to the commercialism of the holiday and let it get back to what it really is supposed to be.
Christians really need to “go on strike” for Christmas & let the merchants and everyone else see that they need to be careful what they wish for.
Isn’t white lights racist? How come no black lights.
I guess that the City Council in Ft. Collins is concerned that too many of their citizens will be confused by the red and green lights and think they are traffic signals.
/sarc
Don’t get me started. The Ft. Collins city council has apparently failed to notice that Christmas is being reclaimed by ordinary Americans who reject the whole “Holiday Tree” and “Happy Holidays” nonsense.
The reason for the season is CHRISTMAS!! Deal with it or go away.
It always comes back in favor of whitey.
Cracker please!!
Brother wants to see some black lights.
Should the Fort Collins city council approve this nonsense, the best thing residents could do would be to boycott the local merchants during the Christmas season. The loss of sales tax revenue would be devastating to the city, and angry merchants may quickly tell the ACLU and the diversity and sensitivity types to sit down and shut up.
I will do my part. I will not participate in your red lights by not going to Ft. Collins. They are just a left wing hate mongering city any way. Hey Ft. Collins “Taze this Worship Christ!”
This could get interesting. If this goes down and the sheriff draws a line in the sand over this and there is any action to take down the tree people could end up in jail.
In true “Animal Farm” logic Freedom of Religion has now become Freedom From Religion. The Constitution be damned.
I wonder if this “task force” wears brown shirts?
It’s not sad ... it’s downright hatred and fear of religion. I hope the people of the city will stand tall and say we are doing this!!! It’s time people who want to do these stop having interference by those who are just miserable and try to make everyone else miserable. I’m sick and tired of this. They have NO RIGHT to take away what we do as tradition and celebration of Christmas. There is porn out there, perverts, rapists, child molesters, murderers and yes, two heroic border guards sitting in some lousey jail for doing their jobs and now people are complaining about red and green Christmas lights?
Should the city remove the stop lights too? They are red and green and are there all year round? Does that THREATEN those who associate red and green with Christmas?
What about peppers? They are red and green too.
How about geraniums and evergreens?
What about red hearts on Valentines’ Day???
What about green on St. Patrick’s Day???
What about green grass?
What about red sunsets?
What about our blood...it’s red too...
Silly huh? Well, that’s how I view this nonsense going on now. Just plain silly and I hope there are adults there who will recognize this for what it is...silly and trouble making. Nothing more...nothing less. Seems to me there are an awful lot of people out there who start this nonsense just to stir the pot. If you don’t like the lights...dont’ look at them. We dont’ like porn or the filth out of holly wood but guess what???? We dont’ go to those movies nor do we pay good money to line the pockets of those who make and act in this junk. However, we don’t stop those who want to. This is Christmas and it should be celebrated and enjoyed by all. Sorry for the rant but this stuff just makes me sick anymore. Nothing but a bunch of trouble makers. This country has gone down hill and it’s going to continue if American doesn’t stand up and be heard.
Of course it is, Mat, but there are lots of absolutely ridiculous nutcases out there, and apparently Fort Collins is a hotbed of them.
