Christmas Compromise
Posted by Dave Blount at November 26, 2007 10:37 AM
Bureauweenies in Briarcliff Manor, north of New York City, have reached a compromise on Christmas and hannukah displays.
They used to balance a Christmas tree with a menorah on the town green, until someone realized that Christmas trees are more pagan than Christian. He offered to donate a crèche, which was turned down as politically incorrect.
A judge ruled that forbidding a crèche while allowing a menorah was an endorsement of Judaism. The only religions government is allowed to endorse are secular humanism, environmentalism, and Islam, so down came the menorah.
The Christmas tree was still allowed, but the star had to come off the top, lest it remind anyone of the purpose of putting up the tree in the first place.
The Northern Westchester Interfaith Council, composed of 12 Protestant ministers and 9 rabbis, released a statement agreeing with the bureauweenies that we wouldn't want religious holidays marred by religious symbols in the public square.
But now a recommendation has been approved that will put the star back on the tree, and allow a six-foot dreidel, which is a spinning top with Hebrew letters on the sides.
Future negotiations will resolve how to address Fourth of July decorations, after moonbats start demanding they be purged of all references to the USA.
On a tip from Wiggins.
