A battle is brewing in Rhode Island and you can weigh in with other Americans to stop this War on Christmas!
November 30, 2011
Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee does not like a Christmas tree being called a Christmas tree. So he is changing it. According to FoxNews, Gov. Chafee has said the Christmas tree in the State House Rotunda in Providence, as of this year, will be called a "holiday" tree.

Ridiculous.
These devil worshipers in government will pay. God created humans, not the other way around.
Holiday tree, horsefeathers.
This happens every year when some dipstick like Chaffee would rather offend a million Christians rather than offend one atheist or Muslim.
Governor Chaffee should have just kept his stupid mouth shut and gone along with the program.
It’s Christmas Chaffee , you idiot. It’s been Christmas for a long time and some fool like Chaffee isn’t going to change that./
Silliness. We have real problems and people are arguing over a name of a tree. No wonder we are in such deep trouble.
I would say the governor, a public employee works for the people and is not a dictator so the people of RI should tell the government to STFU.
The tree is symptomatic of the trouble we are in.
“Silliness. We have real problems and people are arguing over a name of a tree”.
...progressives have such a hatred for christianity and liberty they can’t control themselves. When Chaffee walks by that Christmas tree it angers him to no end.
Merry Christmas Is NOT Offensive (Rabbi Daniel Lapin Urges Respect For Christian Holiday Alert)
Your post exhibits a monumental lack of insight.
Among the symbols of cowardice, now so rampant in this country that we are at the edge of a cliff, there is none so illustrative as a male in a man’s position stammering with political correctness.
Wimp.
Once a moron always a moron.
islam is a tool being used by atheists to attack Christianity.
Doesn’t Chafee have other pressing issues in Rhodent Island to be concerned about? The state is in economic turmoil and this atheist idiot focuses on denaming the ‘christ’mas tree.
Start enforcing separation of church and state. Make all government employees work on Christmas Day. Until they rename Dec 25th as a newspeak term, ‘The Winter Observance Memorial Day’. Slimey creeps like Linc Chap me would go for that.
And what are you going to call the menorah? A candlestick with candles? Being from RI, this Govenor is a first class jerk. Hung on to the coatails of his father who was a Republican but was a Democrap from day l.

You’re missing the larger picture of what’s going on here. This country’s turning it’s back on God by rejecting Jesus Christ IS the problem from which everything else ails us. Whether or not to call it a Christmas tree or call to eliminate ‘In God We Trust’ on our coins is representative of this.
will be called a “holiday” tree.
And what holiday has a tree?
Christmas.
Go figure.
