A letter to the editor led to this story nine days later on the Friday before Christmas.

They must figure that would keep the outrage down.

I posted the letter to the editor earlier this month.

A Scrooge Story.

This is what socialism looks like, folks. The government seeks to control every aspect of your life, and it CAN in any circumstance in which it exerts authority, such as a government run or government controlled development. In short, if you are dependent on government, government calls the shots; you have no say. If you live in government owned or subsidized housing, the government dictates how you must live there, and if you don’t march to the beat of the government’s drum, they kick you out.

Freedom requires personal responsibility, which frightens some people. Those same people will willingly give up their freedom for security. They become nothing better than slaves.

This is a preview of HillaryWorld.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Only Congress has the power to establish a religion and they are restricted from doing so. God in the Pledge of Allegiance does not establish a religion. A prayer in school does not establish a religion, and a manger scene on public property does not establish a religion. People saying the Lord Jesus Christ’s name does not establish a religion. Congress passing a law that says we all have to go to the Glory Bound Baptist Church every Sunday establishes a religion.

Now, Congress is also forbidden from prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Hence, the law of the land says you can not tell me that I can not put a manger scene or the Ten Commandments up. You can not tell me I can not pray. You can not tell me I can not say the Lord’s name.

Socialist/Communist wish to remove God from public view so you and I will begin to forget about God. Why do they want you to forget about God? Well, I am an American. I pray to my God and we handle my problems. I do not pray to my Government. Once people have forgotten how to pray to their God for help, they will begin to pray to the Government for help. From the cradle to the grave.

It is imperative that we keep God in public view.

Funny. I remember in 1994, when the Republicans won Congress, Newsweek said it was Newt Gingrich who stole Christmas.

So they are using some law passed by Congress as a reason to suppress religious expression. I thought there was something in the First Amendment that prohibited that.

They should be sued for deprivation of constitutional rights. They being both the corporation and officials at HUD. The Constitution protects the free exercise of religion as well as prohibiting a “state religion”. Just because this quasi governmental corporation owns the property, does not mean that any religious activity by the residents would be “an establishment of religion”.

“Religiously Neutral” means “Censorship of Religion”
