Warning! Anyone setting foot on my property to remove any Christmas decorations will be met with full force.

The mentality is out there, the Obama “Administration” is chock full of these types of “petty bureaucrats”.

It all starts with declaring you will not post the ten commandments in a courthouse. One incident somewhere in Podnkville. “Oh but that’s not a pattern of advancing the agenda of the Left”. Just ignore the Left, they’ll leave us alone.

Then somewhere else another group of Socialists declare “there will be no prayer in schools”. “Aw, that’s just one place, its only one example”, some will argue.

Then another place will declare “no nativity scenes on public property”. “Nope, doesn’t qualify as part of the overall Leftist agenda, and disregard the lawsuits to stamp out the Christian religion but advance the coddling of others”.

Its all part of a pattern from the Left that is growing in its aggression towards traditional Conservative values. Each time its not confronted, they establish new precedence. Watch your language, borders, and culture go further down the drain.

What if she just says, “they’re NOT Christmas lights,” and be done with it?

If she declared "this is a display in honor and reverence of the Mother Earth Goddess using low carbon footprint solar lighting" then you would not hear a word of objection from the Socialists.

There are many stories of political correctness gone wild. This is not one of them.

True, but whoever wrote that headline is snickering, "Made you look!"

And that is the point. Whatever it takes to get you to (buy the paper|click the link), while PC runs amok trashing liberty elsewhere, unreported.

True story: I used to have the misfortune of living next door to two Marxist liberals, and they complained constantly about my flag, my dogs, my Christmas lights. Admittedly I did put up those awful flickering things from Home Depot about the 3rd season, just to go into their windows at night to give them epileptic seizures. Anyway, the year we moved, I bought a deer statue and put it on the front lawn facing those 2 neighbors. Then I attached 2 of the biggest red Christmas balls I could find at Walmart. It was the talk of the neighborhood I assure you, and then I moved.

I just had to read the headline to tell, which country that was. I don’t think that the US has sunk that low yet, but we seem to be following closely.

That explains the majority vote for Obama.

"That explains the majority vote for Obama."

There is no causal relationship between these two separate issues.

What continues to get me is that the same homes in my neighborhood who now have Nativity scenes on their lawns just a few weeks ago had Obama/Biden signs on their lawns!

Hypocrites!

Well if you consider that 99.99% of the Liberals in this nation voted for Obama, and then you further consider that the Liberal demographic in this nation contains the highest percentage of thumb sucking, bed wetting, entitlement minded, pacifist, defeatist, America blaming, whiny crybaby wusses in this nation - the “Nation of Whiners” that Senator Phil Graham referred to - then yes, I would say there is a strong correlation between the two indeed.

I see no majority percentage of people among Obama voters or Democrats in general who show any real strength, self reliance and courage. I see a party of entitlement minded, bail-out-our-crappy-car-making-union, politically correct to an insufferable degree, gun grabbing, free speech infringing NeoSocialists. I see a bunch of cowards and haters of traditional values and middle America. I see a bunch of backstabbers ready to wave the white flag of surrender at all times. I see a bunch of wannabe Frenchmen and Eurotrash. I see cowardly whiners who feel that terrorists have more rights than our troops or Americans in general.

Among the vast majority of Obama voters I see a group of dumbed-down cowards who vote one minute to send the troops to war and then the next minute turn around and undermine the war effort the second there is a US casualty or our troops put panties on some Islamofacists head.

YOU may see strength and courage displayed amongst a majority of the Obama voter types - I certainly do not. Don’t know who you voted for but I can tell you my vote was not for a Democrat and never will be.

That’s my opinion and I’m not ready to “make nice” and give these cretins and credit otherwise. And many who hold Conservative values feel just like I do and you can bank on it. You obviously differ, that’s your gig, not mine. These people, these Obama worshipers, have no respect for us, and the feeling’s mutual. The majority of the wusses in this nation voted for Obama. Not to say that the Republicans had any sort of real Republican besides Palin in the race.
