Read O'Reilly's latest Book. Opens a few eyes. I purchased it to read on a flight home from Tampa. Darned if it doesn't make you think.

[QUOTEReligious display on government land is ok how? Would you be ok with an Islamic diorama during ramadan?

[/QUOTE]

And how is it not ok?

For 200 years since the writing of the consitution it was fine.
Its only in the last 10-20 years has it been deemed incorrect

And as for Islamic diorama

If the community in question was in large part Islamic
Sure why not

there is a town here that the vast majority of the population is. or I should say was. Jewish.

It wasnt uncommon to see Jewish symbols even on goverment property
Such as the Manora during Hannuka

and it seems to me the White House every year has at least more then one Christmas Tree set up

Or isnt the White House Government Property?

Is this like the war on plaque? Because I'm thinking that with all those candies, chocolates and desserts, that Christmas is in league with plaque.

People of other religions are having money taken from them at the point of gun and then the government is using that money to promote a specific religious observance. Talk about adding insult to injury.

That's why we have rights, to protect us from the majority shoving their ideas down our throats and making us pay for them.

Now everyone should know me enough by now to know I dont typically argue a point without providing an arguement. Often on walloftext book form
So this is outside the norm
But
inasmuch as I dont have the time or the temperment right now to respond in detail

I will agree to dissagree with just about everything you said and pointed to
LOL

In the end, 'The War on Christmas' is just a device for fundraising. Kinda sad that it's sucked in some folks so effectively. http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/9399.html

BTW, I guess if there really _was_ this conflict, it's a civil war:
