Have you heard about the Christmas trees being taken down at the Sea-Tac airport? Here is a link to the latest:

The airport authority did exactly the sensible thing when threatened with a lawsuit - they removed all Christmas trees. With this PC world run by lawyers, what would any sane person do?

Interestingly it looks like the Rabbi and his lawyer do not want to be seen as the bad guy so they have pulled their threat, and the airport authority is considering putting them back up. How long do you think it will take Quanza celebrators, winter solstice believers, devil worshipers and who knows what other group to get lawyers to stop them. In the end the only one who will be happy will be the anti-religion minority in the community.

A local commentator pointed out that Christmas is a national holiday, not any of the other ones these groups will use as a weapon.

It is stuff like this that demonstrates the agenda of the left. I can see them changing the party platform - Santa is public enemy number one; protect the rights of terrorists; Christmas trees should be outlawed; the national language should be Spanish; Jesus was a Jew, so He must have infringed on the rights of Palestinians; and the minimum wage should be raised for minorities to $50 per hour.

Now that Dems are in control, will they change the public holidays to make them more PC?

We outlawed Christams trees in my house to. We have two pet wolves that eat them. And my boxer pees on trees. My Shiba Inu (Dog) is scared of them because when he was a puppy he tried to chew on the extension cord for the lights. And I am sure my shephard/chow mix would be offended to, somehow.

And if I were a pine tree, I would be deeply offended that someone wanted to slaughter me to celebrate some dudes birthday who died almost 2000 years ago. They don't even have pine trees in that region of the middle east.Why couldnt we use something more regionally correct, like an olive tree or a fig tree? grin

It is what it is...
