Fort Collins Removing Christmas from "the Holidays"

November is the time moonbats turn their attention to suppressing Christmas. Yesterday we learned that as part of its overall strategy to eradicate British culture, the Labour Party's beloved Institute for Public Policy Research wants to downgrade Christmas in favor of holidays from other religions, since they don't feel they have the leverage yet to "expunge" it from the calendar altogether. On the other side of the world, in Colorado:

Fort Collins has decided to make the holidays less about Christmas, and more about our diversity.

Christmas displays are to be less "Christmas-y," avoiding "things that scream Christmas at folks." For example, lights will be blue and white, because red and green lights might remind someone of Christmas, which must never be done at Christmastime, since that might offend those who hate Christmas.

What kind of fiend hates Christmas? Why do the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge take precedence over the vast majority of Americans who are decent, normal people? The answer: because moonbats are in charge, and they are anything but decent or normal.

When progressives have succeeded in killing Christmas, it will be a major step toward their goal of replacing our culture with a vacuum that is both sterile and unclean.

Why bother calling it Christmas at all? "Winter Festival" or "December Days" would do just as well for what they have in mind.

Putzes.

I foresee more of this to come. Just wait for 7/4/2008. "we find it insulting and offensive to some to celebrate our independence...what with all the flag waving and such. As the Neo-Marxists strive to exert their will there will be the call for seasonal festivals. Spring Fest to replace Easter, Summer Fest the 4th, Fall Fest Thanksgiving...least we be thankful, and Winter Fest as proposed above.

Suppose people forget about Christmas altogether and just sit on their wallets this year. Would that make the Chamber of Commerce happy?

Just be sure the stores aren't whining about loss of income.

I give CHRISTMAS presents, not "holiday diversity" presents.

(Will there be any "after diversity" this year in January? Pick up some bargains then!)

Sounds like the wrong people are in the facilities for the insane.

The irony is that Christmas is a combination of many holidays. Most of those from Non-Christian Pagan celebrations. These SP types don't care about diversity they just hate that the fact that these celebrations remind them their is something greater then themselves.

I will be sure to put up a large Merry Christmas sign in my window this year. What is so OFFENSIVE about Christmas, anyway? Christian-specific, yes, but offensive?

God, I hate identity politics. It is the lazy person's way to be heard.

Christmas is evil, Diversity is Blessed. Christians must be stamped out, and Christmas as a federal holiday must be revoked. Is anybody awake at the helm? Are citizens of the United States really snoozing through this insane push to rid everything of Christ and Christian beliefs? This country has one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana peel. How pathetic we have become. Churches will be next...history has a way of repeating itself...think about it...

400 Quatloos on the Newcomers!

Christmas first and Easter is next
as moonies and liberals give a big loud nix.
There is no God or absolutes
When moonbats and dems are in cahoots.
Once Christmas and Easter leave the scene,
They'll celebrate on their favorite holiday,
Halloween!!

If the liberal morons and other idiots hate Christmas so much, why don't we take it away from them as a payed holiday?...as a matter of fact why don't we call their bluff and save some taxpayer money by taking away all Christian holidays(Christmas, easter, good friday, and thanksgiving) from anal-retentive atheist government employees, so we can see if they will stand by their idiotic ideology.

"400 Quatloos on the Newcomers!"

Oh God, I get that refrence!

Good point, Ludwig. You can bet they'd scream bloody murder if they got their time off yanked.
And who wants to bet me some quatloos (live long and prosper, KHarn) that most of these jokers have trees and presents at home?

Christmas will prevail despite a little Ft. Collins liberalism.

Y'all need to get the facts before y'all practice immflamatory nonsense.

But then, y'aal may already be beyond practicing.

Get a clue.

Get over the labels - the neo-con' republicans are just as bad at ruining our country as the liberal dems, if not worse. They both suck. The situation is inflammatory because what the city did was inflammatory. No missive read here will change, or “inflame” it. And we'aal are beyond practicing what? NOT expressing one’s self?? You my friend should "get a clue", or at least an English class at the local community college.
