Sorry to troll your thread but Chick-fil-A has thrown in the towel too. I’ll never eat there again.

Quit letting radical female libs rule over everyone, and fake issues like this will become a non-issue.

I hope the citizens of Durham attend the “fest” with lights and that they take turns being at the tree with their lights for the Christmas holiday.

The good citizens ought to show up on the town square every day singing Christmas carols. Bring battery LED lights and have a DIY community Christmas tree lighting. Document any attempt by the city to stop the lighting and stream it all over the InterWeb.

Use the gathering to start the recall petition and the campaign for the next round of elections. Let the bums know that they will be gone because of this. They want a war on Christmas, well, Cry 'Havoc!,' and let slip the dogs of war !

Flood the mayor and council with Christmas cards and don't forget to smile in a bureaucrat's face whenever you see one and wish them all a Merry Christmas. Go full Alinsky against the the SOB's.

War started early this year. Bet all those woke folk won’t hesitate to take our money even as they excise the reason for the season.

Did the dead tree upset the local Druish population?

Removing religious overtones from Christmas. How quaint.

How Cromwellian.

A citizen had problems with it. One?

Grow a pair, for heaven sake.

No. Christians should get together and plan a light ceremony of their own. I’d happily go to jail if I still lived there. There comes a point when we have to push back.
Enough of letting college towns destroy everything we love.

New Hampshire used to have the state slogan of “Live Free or Die”.

Today the slogan is “Live on your knees and kiss our enemies ass”.

“There was another private citizen that came forward and said that he had always had a problem with the Christmas tree, as he called it,” Tobias said.

So, the bad apple is allowed to spoil the whole barrel....

Yeah that guy. Isn't it interesting that after all these people who are against the religious overtones of Christmas head off to their "Holiday" parties?

I am so sick of the term "Happy Holidays" where saying Christmas will bring down the wrath of Satan on you.

And lookit all those shiny new cars magically appearing in peoples driveways in TV ads.

Christmas was based on an old Roman holiday celebrated about the same time of the year. Christianity put a religious meaning to an old pagan ritual.
