Denver Mayor to Light Community Menorah (He's the "Merry Christmas" censor)

[steveegg]

I'd use the vocals (Mannheim Steamroller is strictly an instrumental group).

[maestro]

....from another thread......

?.......Denver?

I thought it was Boulder that had the famous historic Christmas Parades?

...........but,.....maybe,...The Boulder anti-christians have taken control of Denver too?

....'roots'.....?

When will this idiotic crap stop?! Why do 98% of the people continue to bend over backwards to appease to 2% of alleged "offended"? Unbelievable.

The big question is: Who are these people? Who are the one's that allege they are offended? Is this an invisible enemy?

Who is it specifically?

[weegee]

This is the "they" they always speak of.

I'm offended by a parade that caters to the sexual fetishes of homosexuals/bisexuals/trysexuals/transexuals. No more Gay Pride Parades.

If you've EVER had a sexual thought of ANY kind in your life, join the parade. Only Sexual Bacchanal from now on. VD Day!

[unixfox]

If enough people ignored the "ban" then it wouldn't matter now would it?

[Joe Hadenuf]

Uh, I was referring to Christmas and this event.

[weegee]

If the politically correct are going to supress Christians at parades centered around religious holidays, then they need to be equally opportunity equalizers and make sure that no one is offended at ANY parades.

Memorial Day and Veterans Day parades will now also honor slain Nazis, North Koreans, Viet Cong, and Iraqis least we offend anyone in the immigrant communities. < /sarcasm >

If the politically correct are going to supress Christians at parades centered around religious holidays

That's like saying the terrorist are bad guys. Who are the terrorists? Do they have a name? Who are the people that don't like Christmas? Who *exactly* is being offended here?

Just talked to the Mayor's office. The lady said that the mayor has changed his mind after being inundated with calls - there will be the Merry Christmas sign and the carols.

It was easy to get through and I encourage others to call as well - just to reinforce his spine.

[weegee]

To hear the left spin it (especially at protest rallies), America and Israel are "terrorists".

Wrong is right. Up is down. Bad is good.

[goldensky]

If we take this to its natural conclusion, the term "Happy Holidays" is offensive to Jehovah's Witnesses, since not celebrating any holidays is a tenet of their religion.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Guess you didn't see this.

Denver Mayor to Light Community Menorah (He's the "Merry Christmas" censor) Jewish Colorado ^ | Dec 04 | Jewish Colorado Posted on 12/02/2004 8:06:57 AM PST by churchillbuff The Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado has announced that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper will once again light the community Menorah on the first night of Chanukah. The public is invited to join in the annual community lighting ceremony on Tuesday, December 7 beginning at 5:30 pm.

Boo hiss Denver! They are now scratched off my list of tourist locations.

Gay pride parades are OK with this mayor, I'll bet.

I LOVE Michelle Malkin. She's always all over the right issues.

Well in order to comply with the true meaning of "spepartation of Church & State" all Government Employees should have to work on Christmas. We can't have the Governement Employees taking off on a religious holiday!

I recently made a similar statement. If Christ is to be taken out of Christmas then there is no reason for a federal holiday. That not only applies to government employees, but everyone who enjoys a paid day off for a religious holiday that they choose to negate.
