"OK, so we're not going to get a float," she said.
"So let's get together anyway and carol."

Christians need to officially proclaim themselves as an ethnic group. Then the right to do anything they want will be unending.

There was one group allowed to participate in the parade, they called themselves "two spirits". Gay and Lesbo Indians who worship a kindred spirit of sorts. Go figure, their message was allowed, but not Merry Christmas.

At OUR Christmas parade, there were plenty of Christmas floats and everyone was yelling Merry Christmas. I love small town America.

Finally, the backlash has begun against all of this insane, facist, politcal correctness.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

You say Jesus won't return. When one looks at how much of the Bible's prophecy has been fulfilled, it would be tough to bet against it. I hope you will examine the Bible closely and change you mind before he does return.

EVERY KNEE SHAL BOW,

EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS THE CHRIST IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS . . .

otherwise, silence will be the best they can offer or dare offer.

"Christmas is a religious holiday."

It's also a federal holiday...

Denver Mayor Hickenlooper(splg? who cares!) bans Christians, Christmas, Christina church members, and Christmas carols in their parades yet officially endorses and presides over an outside Hanuka candle lighting ceremony in Denver that celebrates his own personal religion.

You know a lot of Jewish Hickenloopers do you?

See you in front of the Judgement throne, big shot. Jesus promised He will return to judge the living and the dead, and He will.

That "Denver Mayor" info is from Free Republic threads, but I imagine you are aware of that.


I did not "cut & paste" the FR posted excerpted article - I "paraphrased" it from memory and my posted comments are in line with the facts as written by the print source and the thread posting FReeper's "cut & paste" execept I had one silly spelling error and could not exactly recall the spelling of the Denver Mayor's surname, but I was close and noted I thought I speeded his name wrong, but that his name was not the important part of the article, FR thread, or my commentary.


My Jewish Uncle Leon and his son (my) cousin Phil are both gone from us unfortunately, but neither ever exhibited the Denver (or that ? Island town in FL in a FR thread) banning of Christmas and Christians.

Leon and Phil both had better senses of humor than I do but their practical jokes often went over the top.

I did not name that Denver Mayor and my surname is probably harder to recall, pronounce, spell for most people but I would never change it.

I could not correctly recall the spelling of the Denver Mayors name and so inserted my (splg? who cares) as I focus and do not waste time on trivia or wish to become a spelling secret police FReeper.

If I see a spelling or grammar error or mistake on a FR thread post I just read on thru and look for the content - I note many who post on FR and are obsessed with spelling errors often are much lacking in any meaningful comments or contributions - I suggest they could make good use of their critical eyes at the NYT or at Simon & Shyster as editors for big bucks.

I also do not attempt to play Mz. Cleo and try to analyze every word or sentence or thought in every thread post here at FR.

I post nothing on my FR Profile Page about my religious background or beliefs but do not get bent sideways with any who do of any race, creed, or color or other hyphenated-label they wish to use or advertise.

I am, however, part native American Indian (as a greatmany Americans are) with no hyphens and no claims of a "Cherokee Princess" grandma (but some hyphens in some names they used for their own names on a genweb site) or "special rights".

You seem to be fishing, baiting, or reading minds for some strange reason.

My comments were open, honest, and from "the media" and a FR thread topic.

I am not obsessed with spelling - I do spot people who demand special "rights" yet deny common traditional decency, speech, practices of others.

I have no idea what your "odd" posted reply question to me below meant/means, do you? :



"You know a lot of Jewish Hickenloopers do you?"




P.S.

No reply is really necessary.

I might try to read some secret code or message or terrible agenda into it.


Some evolve -

Some devolve -

Christmas" it wont help one iota in making the carpenter from Nazareth re-appear, because...Sorry kids, he ain't returning ever !

It must be a terrible burden to know everything - even more than God.

My sympathies. (not) and, oh, yeah, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This nation was not founded, built, nor has it been sustained through these long, difficult years by the athesit, the agnostic, the secularist nor the relatavist.

This nation has survived by none other than the faith, courage, and diligence of God-fearing men and women who know and understand the reality that without God's favor and mercy America would never have been born. Neither can it survive without Him.

Merry Christmas Everyone. Pray for our nation. Pray for our President. Pray for our troops in Iraq far away and removed from their loved ones this Christmas.

Oh, in addition - fortunately, "Christ" doesn't require your belief in order to 'Be" - He "IS" - believe it or not.

For example: I don't believe in you - do you still exist? Merry CHRISTmas
