Christmas trees, Menorahs and athiests….oh my.
Oh what a tangled web we weave….
For years the Washington State Capital has had a Christmas tree in the Capital rotunda. yes, they wimped out years ago and labeled it a “holiday tree”, but for all the political correctness, it is a friggin Christmas tree.
A Jewish group added a Menorah to the display, then another religious group petitioned to add a nativity scene, and won.
That brought us to the present debacle.
An atheist group placed a “winter solstice” sign that denounced all religion.
And the fun started, as local groups expressed outrage. The was transparently intended to be insulting and it worked.
It even made Bill O’Reilly’s show, featuring local horses ass David Goldstein (who also has a blog called horsesass)…
…twice, as it made his show again when he went head to head against Megyn Kelly of Fox News.
And the two latest news stories are that someone took the sign, it conveniently turned it in to a radio station, and it is back in place; and that a local pastor is seeking to place a clear anti atheism sign nearby
