I know valuing tradition is a very important part of being a conservative but so is valuing personal freedom, correct? Its a fooking Christmas tree! Thats it. End of story. A damn tree decorated to celebrate Christmas is a Christmas tree. If it was simply an evergreen tree, as you call it, Id call it an evergreen. But its not. Its specifically been decorated to celebrate Christmas. Why the fook must we call things that theyre not to pacify people? Case in point...chicks with dicks are fuking men.

Maybe because the main reason people left England to settle in this country was to get away from a Govt/King that was also the head of the church...seemed pretty important to the Founding Fathers too since it's a part of the First Amendment to the Constitution .

That's a load of crap. The founders were religious. The whole separation of church and state thing isn't intended to EXCLUDE any particular religion, just to ensure that all religions are allowed and respected in this country. The state has a had an official Christmas tree for a long time. It's a Christmas tree. If they want to have a Hanukah Menora as well I'm fine with that but the established tradition is to have a Christmas tree. If we're going to have it, call it what it is. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care what the governor calls his tree at home. I do care, although not that much, what he calls his constituent's tree. Do you not see the difference? You can't be this dense.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted November 13, 2019 Liberals want to weaponize christmas and use it in their arsenal to make people feel guilty because inclusion and diversity. if every republican accepted the new term of holiday tree, then liberals would just say holiday tree isnt inclusive enough and use a new term because its about making republicans feel guilty to win elections, not because they want positive change. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, my cute supervisor is of hebreic ancestries, and apparently I knew it before she did. She found out from 23andMe. When she told the story, I was like "A-HA!!" (to myself). Unfortunately I don't think I'll be trimming her Hanukkah Bush anytime soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
