Chafee didn’t leave the Republican party soon enough.
***Instead of arguing over the tree, the governor called on lawmakers to focus their energy on feeding the poor.***
That’s just what’s being done, Governor.
It is written: ‘Man does not live by bread alone’.
Hey, Rhode Island elected that milquetoast faggot Chafee and they deserve exactly what they voted for.
Cultural Marxism continues.
A holiday tree ( or bush ) is what one buys in Muslim countries where Christmas is illegal. I’ve done it. Just thought they would like to know.
I wonder if the old atheist is aware that the word "holiday" is derived from "holy day"?
Possibly more interesting is that the notion of a Christmas tree, or even celebrating Christmas as a uniquely special day, wasn’t done among the early New England settlers. It was a German custom.
In fact, the Christmas tree didn’t show up in America till at earliest around 1800 and didn’t really become popular till mid-century or later.
How about tolerating Christianity?
My new Governor called it like it is. She said a Christmas tree is just that and a Menorah is NOT a candle holder!
Get yourself OVER here, Doug! Tell you-know-who that there’s lots of you-know-what shops here!!! And they’re really nice people.
Come on over, Dude!
We Americans wouldn’t want to “offend” our muzzie friends with our Christianity now, would we?
Which “Holiday” would that be? 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day (sarc)

More PC horse sh*t, featuring a lame governor who’s too cowardly to come out as an atheist anti-Christian, so he attempts to defend his BS by hiding behind some moldy - and utterly irrelevant - old religious dissident of three hundred fifty years ago.
Strap some b*lls on, Governor Chickensh*t, and say what you mean: “I wanted to take a cr*p on Christians and Christianity, and show how hip I am with the current trend in bashing American traditions, and that’s what I did!”
I also noticed that all of the radio commercials now talk about the “holiday season” instead of the Christmas season. The power of revision.
Don’t forget that Chaffee was FULLY SUPPORTED by the Republican Establishment on his last Senate re-election bid. That even included personal campaigning by President Bush. He still lost. And by that time, he was nearly voting in line with the Democrats.
Why was he supported by The Establishment so strongly on what was a hopeless race anyway (to the point where others probably lost due to Chaffee taking money)?
1) He was an incumbent
2) He wasn’t a conservative
That’s it. Those are the rules if you want money from the Republican Senatorial Committee, or whoever they are.
I guess the question would be, “Which Holiday does the tree signify?”
What ‘holiday’ would that be?
“festival of trees” “festival of lights” “holiday tree”. Anything so they don’t call it Christmas!
I’m tired of politicians kissing the a$$e$ of people who would slice our necks if we tried to put up a Christmas tree in their countries.
