I like “Snowflake Break” better. But then again, we’re appropriating the culture of snowflakes!

The Indiana legislature should rename Bloomington to either Bolshevikgrad or perhaps Karl Marx Stadt.

This is the home on Indiana University, so I’m not surprised.

They are offended by the holiday, but not enough to give up the day off it gives them.

If Sammy Davis Jr. were alive, he’d celebrate Chawaanzika.

The Herald-Times reports that "all city employees receive paid time off for Columbus Day, a federal holiday ... and Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday. In the future, the city will be calling these paid days off 'Fall Holiday' and 'Spring Holiday.'"

Nope.

The word 'holiday' comes from 'holy day'. It's too religious.

It must become 'Fall Day Off' and 'Spring Day Off'.

Just confirming that you can not fix stupid. Doesn;t matter what the City call them they are still Good Friday and Columbus Day.

City renames 2 holidays deemed culturally insensitive

And in a related story, liberals are still scratching their heads, unable to understand how Trump won.

Dissing and dismantling the holiday became more a left-wing cause when the late Howard Zinn, a political science professor at Boston University, spent the first chapter of his 1980 book, "A People's History of the United States," flaying Columbus.

from Wikipedia: "Zinn was born to a Jewish immigrant family in Brooklyn on August 24, 1922."

When they begin adding in islamic days with their correct names, we can figure the caliphate has begun.

If these 2 days are name-changed to protect the sensitive, they should not be paid days off either. That way it does not matter what the city calls those days. You could also call them, “Gouge The Taxpayer 1” and “Gouge the Taxpayer 2” days, to more accurately identify the reason that city workers need another paid day off.

i suspect the Christians in Bloomington will have something to say to this mayor when next he is up for re-election. I seriously doubt that a majority of the city is NOT non-Christian.

Christmas has been renamed everything for years. Meanwhile the Mayor should celebrate mental illness since he suffers from it greatly.

Christmas tree shall be Winter CO2 absorber (for Leo Libtard). Taking care of PC and global warming all in one. Tree’s have both genders too, so this is gender neutral.

When we have finished taking our nation back, we will reverse all this iniquitous nonsense and once again soar and ascend as America the Beautiful.

It will all have been a dark, terrible nightmare.

Joyfully, America is awake now!

This hideous nightmare began when the spoiled, overindulged children and grandchildren of the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and the women who built the airplanes of World War II sashayed onto the polished dance floor mindlessly chanting: "Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll" and "If it feels good do it," mocking and scorning those who had polished their dance floor and provided them with lovely, velvet slippers.

This was the counter-culture movement of the 1960s, the open eruption of decadence in America.

Thanks to God, millions of Americans still had their hobnail boots and revered their forefathers and trusted God, and finally in 2016, the decadence was repudiated with the election of one of them who had--the great hero, still ascendant himself, still wearing his hobnail boots, still revering those who came before him: Donald Trump--

--and, thanks be to God, America was saved!

This Thanksgiving, all benevolent Americans must give thanks, lovingly, wholeheartedly, and as never before, to the God of Our Fathers--the One and Only God--for our salvation and the salvation of America!

And pray for the salvation of all the people of the world.

Thank You, Our Lord!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of my life, and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.
