YMCA axes Santa Claus for Frosty - (NYC)

He's a lost Claus.

A politically correct West Village YMCA has fired Ol' St. Nick in favor of Frosty.

Kids who once thrilled at sitting on Santa's lap at the 14th Street McBurney YMCA's wildly popular annual holiday luncheon will now suffer the icy embrace of a talking snowman and his sidekick, an anonymous penguin, at today's event.

Forget about bringing a list or checking it twice -- Frosty doesn't take gift requests, and doesn't care if you're naughty or nice.

YMCA officials, who say they are in the midst of "rebranding" the Young Men's Christian Association to "The Y," defended their decision.

“It’s sad that people are so offended by a man in a red suit,” said Taylor Patterson”

My guess is the only people offended were the sh**heads at the main office of the YMCA.

You really gotta laugh at these atheists who have no idea what Christmas or Christianity is about, and are not shy about demonstrating their ignorance. They apparently think they are sanitizing the religion out of Christmas by getting rid of Santa Claus. I don’t remember Santa Claus at the Nativity. Next they will tell us we’ve gotta get rid of the Easter Bunny.

“Young Men’s Christian Association?”

It hasn’t been that in years since it’s been high-jacked by liberal secularists.

Santa’s a pervert, spends all his time looking at nine reindeer asses or hanging out with gender-conflicted elves.

Because a Christian will not cut your head off for not being a Christian.

Why would the Young Men’s CHRISTIAN Athletic club have anything to do with either cartoon character?

It’s time to remove the word Christian from their title, and just be the Young Men Secular Association...Frosty the Snowman is an insult to people’s intelligence. Of course, they would want something that disappears, when things heat up.

John Rappaport, executive director of the McBurney YMCA. "We realized that change is sometimes good, and that Frosty is a great winter character who would appeal to a broader number of kids."

Yeah, I can tell this guy wasn't hired for his brains. A snowman would appeal to a broader number of kids than a fat, jolly guy who gives out presents.

As a Jew this makes me sick, because I know that secular, gay, JINOs (Jews-In-Name-Only) like Mr. Rappaport are behind this. I think we should start a petition to demand that the Chicago YMCA HQ strip the “YMCA” and “Y” names from the McBurney cabal, and sue them if they try to use it again. Let them call themselves the “YGLBTQSHA” (Young GLBTQ Secular Humanist Association).

YMPCA.

When I lived in Lakeland, FL I used the Y everyday.

It had a couple of whirlpools along with a wet and dry sauna in the men’s locker room. Which I used every time I was there.

Then we started having gay men hitting on us. In response to the complaints, the Y closed everything but the showers, toilets and lockers in the men’s bathing facilities. They claimed that, out of the blue, these facilities were some sort of legal liability. When I asked why the pools, the weight room and the basketball court were so much safer, I could not get an answer.

I flat out told them that I know it was complete BS. That they were too cowardly to deal with the real problem. I demanded and received my membership dues for the balance of that year.

I get so fed up with the responsible people in this country being penalized for the behavior of a small minority. This is the same approach all of our public institution take in response to problems.

Our society is ruled by bullying cowards.

“I guess children will just have to give their Christmas lists to Mohammed instead...”

Be careful, little girls under nine just might get marriage proposals instead. The prophet’s funny that way.
