My Town is in a fight over Nativity Scene
Vanity | 11-10-2015 | Me

Posted on 11/10/2015 11:24:14 AM PST by Thorliveshere

My town is going to have a council vote on removing a nativity scene from the central town park. It is only ONE GUY causing all this trouble, and virtually the whole town is against him. He's a trouble-making POS.

I've been trying to get to each and every council member, none are giving me any clear answers. The mayor (who is usually a very staunch conservative) is also being cagey. Just wondering what others have experienced... have the rest of you had this in your town, how did your town council vote?

He may be a trouble causing POS but apparently enough people voted for him to get him on the council so he could cause trouble.

...on the lawn spelling out obscenities...

Christians in support of Christmas? This is wrong on so many levels.

"They are trying to convert the U.S. into a non-religious culture just like the EU for the NWO"

I live in the EU (in England). Our little town has a Nativity scene every year, right in front of the Christmas tree on the High Street.

There's none of this 'Happy Holidays' bollocks, either. It's Christmas!

FFRF is similiar to Madalyn Murray O’Hair in that both the liberal activist groups were initially setup by feminists who then passed the mental illness down to their children. We know what happened to O’Hair. She pissed off the wrong people around her who then disposed of her in a barrel after they cut her up (in this case it was because an employee was stealing from her and she prosecuted him; everybody that knew her said she was a particularly nasty person who treated all of her employees like crap tho) Not that I want this to happen to the Nancy Grace look alike but she’s probably heading down that same path by continuously stirring the pot. You can’t just keep rattling all the cages, constantly sowing discord without there being some consequences that eventually manifest themselves. I’m just saying you reap what you sow and its almost harvest time that’s all.

“I saw a nativity scene and I was afraid, so I went and hid myself.”

The best thing the council could do is look this idiot in the eyes, tell him “Majority rules!” and throw him a box of tissues and tell him to go grow himself a set of testicles and stop acting like a whiny little fairy

I’m proud of you for standing up. The responses you are getting from officials don’t sound hopeful. : (

In Nazareth, Pennsylvania the town square, where the Christmas nativity is displayed (I believe they do a live nativity on Christmas Eve), is OWNED BY THE MORAVIAN CHURCH. Is that awesome, or what?

It will be in our lifetime that Christmas is expelled from our culture, thanks to political correctness.

Will Black Friday be moved to the same week as Black Monday?

EXACTLY. He is also apparently in New York. That has to be good for something.

And, I have been looking up this guy on FB, oh my, what a piece of work. His trucking business is going to get NO business if we have anything to say about this. Haha!

_______

That is a beautiful fight back Alansky style. Personalize it and make sure to go after all his customers. Let them know, no business that does business with him will be tolerated. All will be promoted as Nativity-haters. Have a list of supportive and neutral truckers available.

Well, battle lost. The Council decided to sell the decorations to a private buyer who will display it in a conspicuous area. *Sigh* Well, the Council is going to get it... next election, we’re targeting the numbskulls!!!

And I’m finding out more about this guy. He really doesn’t have a business. It’s made-up. He’s (truly) a loser who lives in his mother’s basement and sponges off from her. His friends and family are giving him hell for this, and the obtuse moron is thinking he won big.

He will never work in this town again (but why would he need to, when Obama is his sugar daddy).
