What is this "Christmas" the article refers to?
Great read. Lets hope it is not to late to win this battle.
The Constitution states:
Congress shall make NO LAW establishing ... nor prohibiting...
It is not the govt's duty to provide Christians (or others) a celebration area. But, a public location is paid for by taxpayers, not the govt - so it really has no right to deny the lawful, peaceful use of public facilities as long it allows all citizens the same opportunity.
The govt definitely has NO RIGHT to deny anyone the free expression of their religious beliefs. That is cause for revolution - just ask the forfathers of the USA why they had a revolution.
but do not forget these prophetic directive words from Antonio Gramsci (hillary's idol):
< snip >
...E. Both Capitalism and Judaeo-Christian culture must be destroyed before a Communist revolution can succeed
......1. Religious sentiment cannot be destroyed through legislation, as Lenin believed, but must be redirected from the divine to the state
.........a. Terror will only drive Religion underground
.........b. Religion will then reemerge when Leninism fails
.........c. So Religion must be destroyed in the minds of men

We do NOT want the governemt to intervene and write laws creating a church!
May the merry bells ring loudly and clearly for the reason of the season – Jesus! All else is peripheral, secondary and late in coming, let alone totally superfluous to the origin of Christ-Mass.
From that and some other info, it appears that they aren't afraid to mention Jesus' name - who knows, maybe they are sincere and not just capitalistically (is that a word?) motivated.
The law states that congress will make NO law in respect to an establishment of religion.
In otherwords congress will NOT interfere with the church or it's business. that's what that means.
I read in some history book that this was some peagan celebration that happened before the religious holiday of Kwanzaa saved us all.
