Hedy Weinburg, ACLU executive director in Tennessee...

"Surely she was raised as, and identifies as Presbyterian."

I am Jewish, and every single time I see some JINO speak for the ACLU it makes me cringe.

I have been the recipient of many a "Merry Christmas!" over the years and continuing to literally today, and it never bothered me. To me, it is just someone trying to be friendly and say some kind words to me, and my response is usually something along the lines of, "And the same to you and your family."

We have a diverse culture, but Christians have always been and continue to be the vast majority. I have absolutely zero problem with that, only those very few individuals (Christian or otherwise) who insult me because of my heritage - and I'm not so stupid and/or thin-skinned to attribute their actions and words to others of a similar religious or ethnic background - they are responsible for themselves.

Ironic that the ACLU is warning people NOT to exercise their right to free speech. The world is truly going nuts.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I really do not see where the ACLU has a case.

I’m cringing too as a Jew to see these no good commie Jews at ACLU and other orgs making war on Christmas. This is so rotten. There are plenty of non-Jews making war on Christmas too. Me, I like Christmas and Christmas time.

Atheism is (usually) a mental disorder
