Where's our fearless Christian leader, the Reverend Jesse Jackson? Shouldn't our fearless Christian leader be standing up for Christ? (Oh, wait, Christ was a Jew)

Chicago, once the city of big shoulders and tough guys, is now the town of the gay games, bans on smoking and foie gras, and now this.

What is extra stupid is that there are ads for that movie all over those little bus stop shelters all over the city of Chicago. I was just there over the holiday and saw them everywhere. So how does a few more offend anyone?

. . . Isn't Chicago mostly black . . . and aren't those blacks Muslim . . . [?]

Not just that, but those black Muslims are illegal immigrants whose ancestors fought on the side of the Yanks during the Great War of Northern Aggression.

Lets see, we don't want to offend non Chritians by putting the Christ in Christ-mas, but yet we can let the Muslims put that catter-wallering over loud speakers at 5am, and who cares if it offends Christians. Is that about the gist of it?

Daley can't have it both ways .. if one faith is to be censored in his city .. then all faiths should be

Otherwise it is call discrimination

****Hope this guy (mayor Daley) doesn't have presidential ambitions....****

'Da Mare's' (as we affectionately call him /s) only ambition right now is to stay out of Federal Prison.

Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald (yes, that Fitz) is clooooosing in.

Nope, not any more.
The mythical "Hispanic" is now the majority in Chicago. Then followed by Blacks, and 25 White yuppie scum Cubs fans.

(Okay I'm kidding about the last part, there's more than 25 white yuppie scum Cubs fans)

Chicago should just change the name of this celebration to PCkindlmarket and continue being run by mobsters without pretending they care about anything except screwing the public and lining their own pockets.

I invited my secretary to our Christmas party this year. She calls herself non-religious. I lovingly call her a pagan. But I warned her that she will be flooded with Merry Christmas cheer and she said she's totally okay with that and the food and the party etc.

If you get a chance, check out The Nativity Story photo book published by Tyndale. It's a picture book of stills from the movie set and it's a great gift book. Also, it's less than 20 dollars.

Disgusting. The day I awaken before I need to because of that hideous "howl to prayers" in my town is the day I learn how to use wire cutters and become a vandal.

They are not offended by Nativity scenes. They are offended by the existence of Christians.

Oh well that is all I see on TV, Blacks...If I do live in hick town it would be lots better than a place like Chicago..Crime city...I will admit I have never been there and there was a very good reason for that....The people I know that have moved from there seem to think it is a bad place to raise children unless they are black that is..
