I think I'll suggest this for next years display and avoid all the problems the county had this year.

Cmon, Christians. You are all about traditions and values, right?

Good, now go set your christmas tree on fire and die in it.

Pocket Ninja: It's so ironic that the Liberal/Progressive War on Christmas is really an effort to turn back nearly four centuries of progress. Forward-thinking, my foot.

You realize that the "War on Christmas" is a fake event made up by the right-wing media to get people like you to continue to watch/listen/buy their crap.

Right? You do don't you?

The Trolls Trolling the Trolls.

Down with Christmas! How dare other people enjoy a season based on charity and good tidings! And how dare others wish such good cheer on me!

LOL you're a bigot.

/wonder if you admit it

SQUACK! WAR ON CHRISTMAS! WAR ON CHRISTMAS! SQUACK!

I just don't care. But Solstice is coming let the celebration of light commence.

You gotta love a guy who could make people miss the monarchy.

You know you've made a real impression when they dig you up just so you can be drawn & quartered.

I'm thinking this is an isolated event and not really applicable to your broad brush. Secondly the Lib/Progres War on Xmas you speak of was invented by the likes of O Reilly.
So, there's that.

next thing, people will be mocking science.... oh wait they are.

/global warming?

So, this was from Oliver Cromwell's England of 1647? Not exactly representative of the rest of the world.

SEE?? THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS IS REAL!!!

Right idea, wrong motive.

"Ye sordid prostitutes, have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd; your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse the Augean Stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings, and which by God's help and the strength He has given me, I now come to do.

"I command ye, therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. You have sat here too long for the good you do. In the name of God, go!"

Cromwell to the Rump Parliament, 1653. Ouch! My kinda guy.

They played football with his head too.

Hey, thanks for enlightening me. I had no idea that liberals and progressives really only want to stop progress. And I definitely had no idea that they plan to do this through the War on Christmas. You have really opened me eyes. Thank you.

Cromwell and the puritains would fight right in with the "reason for the season" crowd. However, they would shun or attack those groups who boycot stores for NOT wishing a Happy Christmas in ads or at the register. I receive the newsletter for the American Family Association (for kicks) and am amused and saddened by their push for Christmas to be commercialized.

schatzie: I used to have a copy of the Cromwellian decree that I would tape to my office door every Christmas season....)

Looking for this decree...can't find it. Anyone?

schatzie: I used to have a copy of the Cromwellian decree that I would tape to my office door every Christmas season....it stopped people from dragging me into dreadful parties which would only lead to embarassing situations.

(Heaven forbid I actually drink too much and tell the boss what I think of him!)

Yeah, I'm going to have to call bullshiat on that, someone who has a boss he is afraid of is not going to put up douchebag anti-holiday screeds from a violent thug on his office door.

/a few years back, one of the more liberal types had a kerry for president sign on his door, and was told to remove it. he said blah blah blah rights, free speech, and he was not going to remove it from "his door." The next morning he came in and found that his office door had been removed.
//I am well aware it was a cool story, bro.

Same, would be nice to have.

Tonight I'm attending a Ramahanufestimas Party, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies. :)

You don't have to be afraid of your boss to get fired by him for telling him off. I got roped into talking with the CEO this year while quite drunk. Scary.

schatzie: Actually, since the leiutenant and I both carry guns never saw much point in pissing him off. You on the other had are clearly an internet tough guy. Lighten up Francis.

BWHAHAHAHA!!! I'm an internet tough guy, and you are talking about walking around with a gun, as if telling your boss what you think of him is going to lead to a shoot out.

Anyhow, my bullshiat detector just went through the roof, champ.

Further, bragging about posting something from Cromwell on your door is like bragging that you posted something from the farking Taliban. So, good for you!

10/10. Almost fell for it myself, until I saw who was behind the comments. Carry on.

You forgot Kwanza.

Why do you hate black people?

schatzie: First of all, grow a sense of humor, you need one because you live in Chicago. Second of all, so do I. If you want to discuss in person go to Belmont and Western, stop in the building with all the blue and white cars in the parking lot and come up to the second floor. We'll chat.

Huh. Usually they pretend to be Navy SEALS.

Champ.

Gulp! I've been almost totally out tough guyed. Oh wait, how about this, the next time I am at a fundraiser for the Democrats, I will casually remark to an alderman that I happened to be in the station and i was shocked at some of the anti-christmas displays. and he'll call your captain, and the captain will call your "boss" and your boss will chew your ass out.

THAT is the Chicago way, sport.

schatzie: But at least I told him where I am if he wants to stop by, I think that was pretty gracious on my part. You know, just to clear up the bullshiat aspect of it all.

Oh no, dude, don't get me wrong, I have no trouble believing that you are a cop, none at all. I do have a huge problem believing that you put a screed from Cromwell on your "door" in a CPD building.

I am a big cop, come to Belmont and Western and I'll kick your ass.

LULZ!

The Madd Man: Why do you hate black people?

The black people live in Oakland, and nobody from Oakland is coming to the party.

The Puritans were some of the first settlers in America. That's the connection.

Thanks for the history lesson. I still give it a full meh.
