Well sorry Bud but if you don't like it there's the door. This is "America" not "Israel".

Sorry if I don't bend over to YOUR ways and needs. Just don't Vote. Be a Lemming.
First of all, Christmas Tree is 2 words... Should be a pretty simple equation for an aspiring statesman.
Second of all, what set me off was your general tone. Being Jewish is immaterial, it was only an example. I don't want your religion, nor anyone else's stuffed down my throat. What you describe is not freedom of religion, it's forced imposition of prayer in school, among other places. Last time I checked, that's not freedom. It may seem right to you, but it doesn't to me, and the moment you work to take that right away is the moment you become an oppressor. And a silly one at that, because imposition of such a requirement is not pragmatic, it's just vain and shortsighted.
I don't like your policies, I don't like your beliefs, and I don't see the logic in your tactics. As an American, I believe that's my right. I practiced my right and disagreed with you and you, claiming to be the voice of the American way, showed me the door for voicing my opinion. Yet, in all this, I never once showed you the door for voicing yours.
I've had the pleasure, displeasure I should say, of living in a country that didn't give me freedoms to speak out. Thanks to my family, I came here at an early age, and was spared most of the suffering. You, on other hand, have been here all of your life, and yet, you don't seem to understand the first thing about what this nation stands for.
