IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR - HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee

Every year in Rhode Island the state puts up a Christmas tree in the public square. Governor Chafee however, insists that it is a "Holiday tree", as not to offend anyone! (Dan scratches his head) Oh well, I give up. Besides, I can't put it any better than Bill O'reilly put it, asking the Governor this question:

If not Christmas, What holiday exactly is the Rhode Island tree representing? Arbor Day??

90% of the population in America belong to the Christian religion, meaning, Governor Chafee chose to offend 90% of the population so that 10% would "not" be offended? Someone actually voted for this guy? (I'll bet he didn't run his campaign on that platform!)

Also, In Fort Worth, Texas, The school district is putting restrictions on card and gift giving on school property, ignoring the student's freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

According to Jennifer Brandt a Criminal Defense Attorney who was recently on the O'reilly Factor, the school was simply setting "Limits" as not to affect the children's learning because "That's what they're there for", and to prevent alienation of other children.

Ms Brandt went on to say that the school district was simply saying, if you want to celebrate Christmas, do it on your own time, not in the public schools, and what about the children who don't celebrate Christmas, how do you think they feel? In the public school, you should be able to believe what you want and not have any religion pushed down your throat!

Well, it's obvious that Ms Brandt is not a person to be bothered with things like "Facts and details". (Strange for a criminal defense attorney) Let's just look at what she said for a moment.

The school was simply setting "Limits" as not to affect the children's learning because "That's what they're there for"

No Ma'am! The children "are" there to learn, however, the government school system has been hijacked by a liberal agenda, and it seems to be quite selective as to what our children are being taught! If it were simply "Reading, Writing and Arithmatic", we might be inclined to agree with you.

Unfortunately, what "is" being taught is "Sex Education, Mandatory assemblies for Gay tolerance, Union politics and Nutrition"

To quote Ms Brandt's own words:

these agenda's "should be pushed on their own time, not in the public schools"

What the hell happened to America when you can push these beliefs on innocent children, yet forbid them to say "Merry Christmas" or acknowledge Jesus Christ?"

As to Ms Brandt's statement

"and what about the children who don't celebrate Christmas, how do you think they feel?"

I can only ask, What about the children who are "not gay", not emotionally ready for mandatory "sex education", innocent and ignorant of "Collective Bargaining" and are "overweight"?

To again use her own words "How do you think they feel?" Somehow, we are only supposed to worry about children's feelings, when it involves religion. Well guess what? Religion doesn't even enter into it! Christmas "is" a Federal Holiday" (Get over it)

Ms Brandt also stated:

In the public school, you should be able to believe what you want and not have any religion pushed down your throat!

I think she meant to say: In the public school, you should be able to believe whatever we tell you to believe, and not be exposed to any religion, because we said so!
