#3 I'm always surprised vigilantes don't beat the crap out of "people" like rob sherman, not for christianity, but for general assholery. We need to revert "activist" back to "gadfly" and take any level of esteem out of it

#4 Apparently Chicago has forgotten that the appropriate response to such behavior is to point and laugh until the moron plaintiff slinks off.

#6 I think the city should point out that you don't get the bag for being a Christian, you get it for turning in a Christmas tree. Your religion is irrelevant.

"No self-respecting atheist or Jew or Hindu puts up a Christmas tree in their home unless they are Christian wannabes," he said.

Being a Christian isn't like being a supermodel, a mob boss, or royalty. If you "wannabe" a Christian, you can be one; there's no rigorous qualification process. In that respect, it's kinda like being a nutcake "activist".

I'm an atheist. I also have a Christmas tree. Don't need any mulch, though.

#7 Your religion is irrelevant.

"Your religion is irrelevant. You will be assimilated into the Christmas Collective..."

(Seriously, when is someone going to get around to mentioning that Christmas trees, or for that matter the timing of Christmas itself, is something the Christians stole from the pagans?)

#8 Hmmmph!
Has it occurred to this narcissistic jackass that a great big pile of tinder-dry used Christmas trees would be ideal for an auto-da-fe?

#9 "Christians had the opportunity to receive the blue bags for free. Atheists and others would have had to pay."

Well no phuquing shit. If a person doesn't have something to trade, why should they get blue bags for free???

#10 Youse guys are being insensitive, Its a frickin' Holiday Tree!

Moonbats reading this thread may now feel violated and frightened by your rampant use of the word Christmas.
I hope you're all happy.

#11 I have an excellent selection of Holiday trees for your buying pleasure. Buy one of my dry, yet piquant trees, take it to the county and turn it in for a lovely blue bags. BTW I will also buy your blue bags if you bring me a tree.

#13 ...and now, the "airing of grievances".

#14 I'm thinking the solution was much much simpler. If the activist is right there, and we have this giant mulcher going...give him the old heave-ho and the problem will now be lots of squishy bits flying out the out chute. I hear it makes good fertilizer or better yet, Soylent Green!
