Question— have any of you ever met anyone, such as Jewish people, who are offended at the mention of Christmas???
I never have. What I have heard are LIBERALS who claim that those of other faiths or no faith COULD BE offended. But have never heard people of other faiths actually take offense.
Is this whole debate about Christmas and whether we can mention it something invented by liberals to cleanse the holiday season of any religious/Christian significance? Rather than a real effort to make sure some people aren’t offended??
Does everyone realize that about 93% of Americans celebrate Christmas? For all the talk of diversity and such, Christmas is one of the most unifying events in our nation.
I can think of at least one small group who will leap at the chance to be offended. And the travelling CAIR press conference/circus will be onsite within seconds.
I know Buddhists who display Christmas trees in their homes decorated with Christian symbols such as crosses. Jews and Buddhists aren't offended. It's the atheist democrat liberals who have sticks up their butts, who are offended. Jerks all.
Growing up, I used to pass out luminary candles for the annual neighborhood Christmas lighting in Rancho Bernardo. I only remember one Jewish lady who politely declined, smiling and saying “no thank you, I don’t participate”. She took no offense whatsoever.
I’d go to my Jewish cousins for Hanukah and they’d come to our house for Christmas. Now, they’re uptight about it.
