Liberals, just thought I'd do a bit of scouting for ya and let you know that backward and intolerant Virginia still engages in an offensive Christmas tree, rather than holiday tree lighting ceremonies.

Yule times at the Capitol - Richmond Times-Dispatch: Holiday:

Just in case y'all wanted to begin a law suit against this horrid and antiquated event that emphasizes a Christian holiday on public grounds. By the way, Democratic governors have done this too.

Virginia should be sued unless they change the name to "holiday tree."

Democratic icon Mark Warner is guilty of this intolerance as well when he was governor too.

Christmas is a federal holiday so having a Christmas tree is fine.

Well, it's not OK that Christmas is a federal holiday. Haanukah, Ramadan, and Kwanzaa are the only acceptable federal holidays in December. We have to use affirmative action here.

Also, the Christmas tree actually has little to no religious connection.

Some atheist Libnut will call this a bias crime and try to get the offensive tree removed, just you wait and see.

I have never heard anyone other than a paranoid right wing nut cracker refer to a Christmas tree as a "Holiday" tree. Seasons Greetings, kooks!
