I don't expect you to support it financially. Placing a Nativity scene in front of City Hall or in the town square requires no money from you.
All it requires from you is tolerance, something of which you're in short supply. The space belongs to the public, not to you.
"Clearly, the nation strongly supports separation of church and state,"
Uh-huh. When was the last time Congress used their constitutional power to tell the federal courts to butt out of anything, much less a CHRISTian issue like the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance?
No, the liberals, the USSC, the ACLU, and your buddy Michael Newdow strongly supports that nebulous concept called the "separation of church and state". Truth be told, they support the separation of God from America.
"I don't expect you to support it financially. Placing a Nativity scene in front of City Hall or in the town square requires no money from you."
Who do you think pays for the upkeep of those grounds and the contruction of the buildings? You and I do. The next thing you know, we'll have Islamic themed decorations all over the place. Put your nativity scene in your yard and let Habib keep his junk in his.
"Uh-huh. When was the last time Congress used their constitutional power to tell the federal courts to butt out of anything, much less a CHRISTian issue like the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? "
The phrase "under god" is a relatively new addition (Being added in 1954) to the pledge of the allegiance. You're on the fringe as most people do not want Xtian symbolism or that of another religion in the public forum.
I'll leave you with another Jeffeson quote... considering, as you said, he probably knew a thing or two about what they meant.
"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law."
-Thomas Jefferson
