#1 The funny thing is, it is a Christmas Tree, whether you want to refer to the season as Holiday Season or not. No other religion features a tree, why not call it what it is? Nobody calls a menorah a "holiday lamp".

#2 Well, it's too tall to be a Hannukah bush...

#3 Yep, it is a Christms Tree. That's where the holiday comes from. Period. Full stop. Trying to hi-jack it and neuter it is asinine.

Slowly, but surely, there is a real no-shit backlash building against the ACLU / Michael Newdow / et al assaults on the traditions and customs of the majority of Americans. All they've managed to accomplish is to piss off everyone to the right of Trotsky.

I think, in sum, they've merely revealed themselves as "ist" ideologues and, well, as demonstrably insane attention whores. I see a clear parallel between the backfiring antics of these domestic morons and the Zarqi-styled Caliphatists. I hope they share a common fate, too. Asstards.

#4 Wow, I couldn't have said it better, DOT! Keep up the rants! When even Neal Boortz (who is no friend, at least cuts 'em no slack on his show) is defending the Christians, ya better look out!

#5 I personally, PREFER they call it a Christmas Tree, not a Holiday Tree. Calling it a Holiday Tree might imply there is such a thing as a Chanukah tree - there aint, and Jews shouldnt put up such a thing. A Christmas tree is, in the US, a Christian tradition, whatever pagan origins it may have. I dont want it implied that the Capitol is honoring Chanukah by lighting a tree. I presume Muslims feel the same way.
