This butt-clown mayor wants to decimate the Nativity Scene but loses his cohones when his re-election is on the line. What a poor public servant. I hope the people remember this guy who wants to eliminate Christmas from public life. It infuriates me so.

"Mayor exiles Nativity, then brings it back"


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

I dont know about anyone else....but, I have never read anywhere in the Bible where it mandates folks to put a nativity.....no offense,,,but, if they banned
the keeping or reading of the Bible in my home/church/car(when parked of course) then I would put up a stink.....

see, these are the 'things' folks sit back and wait for someone to tell them....they look and listen but never see and hear for themselves......take the
nativity but you cant take my mind....foundations folks foundations........

I believe that some people feel this is just about religious rights. Something that people have done for decades. People just can't understand why since if it was ok for decades, why not now? What has really changed?

Show me the religion with the nativity as a requirement.....Just humor me.....because in India they can set up a 'temple' anywhere for anything and it
is considered holy......how about that for a next door neighbor.....JMHO.....I'm not against the nativity but, stop wasting the courts time and suck it up
crawl to God and maybe he can strike the rule/law dead since it certainly cannot be His......

folks were shocked when women were allowed to vote---what changed(from people not the written words)
folks were shocked when black folks were allowed to vote---what changed(from people)
folks are now shocked at same sex marriages---what changed(from people)
folks are shocked at the holiday crap instead of Christmas/nativities--what changed(from people)

yet there is nothing new under the sun........


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
