And a happy Independence Day back atcha! ;-). Or does that send the message that some are not welcome?

Er, well, some are not welcome here but that is not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all in many cases.
As a practicing Jew, I just cannot get my mind around this idea that I should be offended and “uncomfortable” at the public celebration of a Christian holiday. The arrogance of such a position is breathtaking.
Last year, a lib I have the misfortune to know asked me if wasn’t offended at all the Christmas decorations and songs around town. I said, “No, I am not a totalitarian bigot.”
“Are you suggesting that those who take offense at this are totalitarian bigots?!” he huffed.
“Yes, I am suggesting exactly that.” He huffed away at that point, no doubt looking for some Muslims or New-Age shamanists who might come closer to meeting his expectations.
