Leave them be.
That's what we were doing until he put up that dumb sign and tried to make himself out to be some kind of hero because he says "Merry Christmas"

Maybe they don't like it while they are from there. You make it sound as if the population of an entire city had one homogeneous mind and only outsiders disagree.

Reminds me of that odd idea that certain people should be stripped of their citizenship just because of this or that...

Sounds like he left a few religions out with his Merry Christmas, maybe he needs a bigger sign.

So I take it you have a Jesus nativity scene rather than a Pagan Christmas Tree in your living room?

Indeed, Christmas is an ancient multi-cultural festivity dating back way before Jesus. Not to mention that the historical Jesus was actually born in the fall, not in late December...

Which is also why I don't mind Christmas, despite being an atheist. It is just another festivity, an interruption of the boring routine. I could not care less if we celebrated the Indian Diwali festivity instead. It doesn't matter because it is not about the fantasy content, but simply about the ritual.

I have never seen any of that as politically incorrect, however by the definition of politically incorrect, it would actually be so to say "Happy Holidays" in his eyes. Not sure why saying so even upsets people.

Its just a way to cover all your bases. Everyone isnt Christians.
When it is someone's birthday do you refuse to say "happy birthday" to them just because it is not your birthday?

I hope so, of course the fact that it is actually in front of the Sheriff's office it might not go too well for the vandal.

I like how people think they're special for doing what everyone else does because for some strange reason, they think they're the only people that do it.
Democrats don't do it, to them, loving America is politically incorrect. It's part of obama's plan to destroy America and he has attracted many anti Americans to his cause.. I bet you know some....

Actually that makes it even more funny if it were to be vandalized because it would show how incompetent the sheriffs are.
