Kudos to the Mayor. Democrat or Republican, I don't care. It was the absolutely correct decision. For those who want to bitch and moan, I suggest you tell your employers that you do not celebrate Christmas and work that day w/o extra pay.
Cheers!

""Some years ago, someone in their bureaucratic wiseness decided to change the name to Holiday Parade. I just changed it back to its historically correct name," he said."
More power to him.

"This reeks of a political time when people have their own agendas," she said. You're exactly right, Jennifer -- about you and your PC ilk.

If some lamebrain mayor before him could change it unilaterally, then he can change it back. Let the whiners whine.

It is the ignorance that bothers me, the philosophy, the desire to exclude people, whether intentional or not," said Olivenhain resident Nan Sterman, who is Jewish As was the well known carpenter whom the parade honors.

Hey Rabbi! Come on out to the Christmas Parade and have a good time. If you guys want to have your own parade, I'll come on down and enjoy it too.

I'm sure that is Michael Newdow's next project. Sue the federal gov't for having a Christmas national holiday. He's sooooooooo offended.

My goal, besides supporting our military to stamp out the islamo-scum terrorists, is to see the PCism is dead and buried before I am! ;o)

"There is a Christian holiday called Christmas that is celebrated in churches, and there is a Christian holiday called Christmas that is about Santa Claus and reindeer and snowmen and getting together with family and friends and having parades and all this stuff," Dalager said. "We are celebrating the American holiday called Christmas.FINALLY!!!!!!!

Yes Newdow has become obsessed. I wouldn't doubt that you are right.

Exactly. How many Christians do you know who are "offended" by jewish holidays? None.

Sue the federal gov't for having a Christmas national holiday. That is the ultimate answer. Right now, they're just fighting the symptoms. As long as Christmas is a federal holiday, there is nothing wrong with having Christmas parades. Trying to abolish individual Christmas parades and displays while leaving the underlying Christmas holiday intact will only keep the fight going.
I don't think they'll ever be successful in removing Christmas as a national holiday.

We should all send the Mayor a big fat "thankyou" note!

I'm offended by the easily offended PC crowd. Surely my offended sensibilities are as valid as theirs!

He's already going after "In God We Trust" now, after he was rejected for the Pledge.
