I'm sick of seeing anything remotly connected to Christmas being forced from the American landsacpe. The ACLU is behind most, if not all of it. So I thought we should all get together and send a Christmas card to the folks over at the ACLU.
I once sent a Meat Lover's pizza to the folks at PETA. Never even got a thank you but it's the thought that counts. If you care to send a bit of Christmas cheer to the lost people at the ACLU here s the address:
ACLU of PA
Greater Pittsburgh Chapter
313 Atwood St.
Pittsburgh, PA 15213

His, well, earthy vocabulary aside, I have to agree with Scooter on this one (Hey, Scooter!).
If anything, the Constitution promises a "hands off" policy when it comes to The State dealing with religion. It can neither force us to worship nor stop us from worshipping (This has to be the truth - even Fred Honsberger said this on the air recently!). But places like City Hall (or any government building for that matter) are no place for an official religious observance - sorry, the Constitution says so.
But I am not sure where you get the notion that "anything remotely connected to Christmas is being forced from the American Landscape." The Charlie Brown Christmas Special has been on the air each year for decades, hasn't it? And Linus tells Charlie Brown what the true meaning of Christmas is - with liberal quotations from Scripture, doesn't he? If what you say is true, then how has that cartoon survived all these years?

Oh the pizza bit was funny! You know I considered droping the post by Scooter because of the language but it proves his mindset so I'll leave it up... To answer him, anyone who denys Christ is lost. Public property is owned by the public. We should all have equal access to it. Government represents that public and should provide freedom of religion not freedom from it. Offending someone is not against the law.
As for Mike, I would read the Constitution a bit closer. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion... or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (You might want to read those last 6 words over again)I'm sure when they figure out how to sue a cartoon character they will. In the meantime, while you are watching "Charile Brown's Christmas" the ACLU is intimidating the U.S. Defense Department into ending its sponsorship of Boy Scout troops, threatening to sue an abstinence website because it mentions God, attempting to outlaw Christmas displays, hushing kids from singing Christmas carols in public and making "Chirstmas" a dirty word. In response to this insanity, red and green have been banned in some places. Trees are now religious symbols! Come on... you gotta admit this is all getting really out of hand. Mike you should leave Fred behind and tune us in.
Mon-Fri. 3p-6p 101.5 WORD FM Your welcome anytime.
Merry Christams. Yeah I said it. So sue me!
I plugged this post on my blog and the comments have really been flying (and all mine are clean!). Come on over and join the scrum.
Yea you! I agree 100%. Someone posted a comment about shoving our Christianity dow their throat-did they ever look at it the other way-non-christianity is being shoved down our throats by the ACLU? I am so tired of hearing that phrase. The separation of church and state means that there should not be a state mandated reiligion. Not that there can't be mention of religion or displaying of religion by the government.
The PETA thing was funny too. I love animals-but they go too far too.
Have a merry CHRISTmas.!

People who don't want to celebrate CHRISTmas should not celebrate it. They should pick another day of the year to do all they want to do for the "Holiday Season" and leave CHRISTmas alone. I don't see anyone complaining about Hanukkah or Kwanza, trying to change the names.
The meat lovers pizza to PETA was great. I mean, it fulfills the mission started by Jesus, doing unto others and the protection of those who are unable to protect themselves. The New Testament speaks against those who display their faith pulicly, instead, the focus should be on a quiet reflecting faith. I, however, have decorated my tree according to the dictates of the Book of Matthew, and we have hung are stockings in the way that Jesus told as...you know, as he was defending and befriending the poor, the weak, the sinful. I applaud those who have real faith, and try to live a truly Christian lifestyle. Those who are not proud, or boastful, those who show concern and compassion for their fellow human beings, regardless of creed. Jesus stated render unto...meaning that even He did not want to get involved with government.
Merry Christmas
