For those of you who think this is a cool sign, here's a thought for you. Would you feel comfortable living in that "county" if you were not Christian? What if you're Jewish and you actually want to say to the check-out clerk "happy holidays"? Would you just hold your tongue?
I am tired of this myth that there's a war against Christmas. I've never actually heard of a real person being "offended" by "Merry Christmas". But you know what I have read about? People actually being offended by "happy holidays". You tell me who's the bigot?
This sheriff just has a chip on his shoulder. No one cares if he believes in God or not. No one cares that he supports the troops. He's just looking for attention.
Where I live, there are plenty of people that say Happy Holidays, I respond with Merry Christmas to you too
No, I don't care if someone says happy holidays or if they say Merry Christmas. I don't have delicate sensibilities. I do think however your maturity level is at zero which would explain why you're so sensitive about two words.
It seems you are breaking this sign down to 2 words, but it encompasses more. You point out that I am sensitive about 2 words, yet it seems that you have the problem with it

Lots of groups are celebrating something in Dec so I wing it.. I use both...I ask all the Bible Bangers.. aside from the ONE ACT of clearing out the money changers ... when else, did Jesus use Direct Aggressive Confrontation.. He Didn't , he could have , but he didn't and IMHO He IS GOD.. so what makes you, any of you think, you should then ram your beliefs down anyone's throat?
Jesus did, single out and hold accountable those who were making claims of being members in " His Fathers club "..because they were not living by the rules of The Club.. Jesus was by and large loving and kind to non members, all the while showing the importance of his message.. Its been my observance that "Christians" that boast the most, live it the least.. I see that nowhere as evident as I see it here in the south.. Ask Yourselves this question.. If They were shooting Christians would you be singled out when not sitting in church? Jesus said PRAY for your authorizes for my Father put them there for his good reasons. He said pay your taxes.. Love Others at least as good as you love yourself.. don't bring false witness.. ( do you forward hate mail and post lies on the internet? ) WWJD is that a real question or just a money making con-job using cheap plastic bands made in a Christ Hating Country? Sorry I got off track from your post so mine is not directed at you : ) Hummm but then again

No. If I were Jewish, I would prefer to say Happy Hanekkuh.

No. It would be impolite and discourteous to ignore a good-will comment.

I'm tired of the deniers like yourself. Guess that makes us even.

Have you ever heard of an UNREAL person being offended? BTW, I've never heard of an unreal person either.

No I don't. Are you one of those who buys Playboy Magazine just to read the articles?

Not me. Sounds like a good-will and festive comment. Are YOU offended by it?

Hmmm ... that's a tough one. Could it possibly be YOU?

Can you get me a picture of that so I can see just which shoulder it's on? And if there is indeed one, like you claim there is, I want to be there when you try to knock it off. Unfortunately, I am wasting a hope because 1) there isn't one and 2) if there was, you don't have the intestinal fortitude to try ... which is why you hide behind your computer screen and talk big.

And I don't think the real Christians and/or Jews do either.

WRONG.
I DO. I used to be one. And from the disgusting tone of your post ... YOU WEREN'T. What a pity. Although, maybe not ... any lessons on respect would have been lost on you.
GO SHERIFF.
