Lemme guess; anyone that has an opinion that differs from yours is "intolerant", correct?

Must have been a slow news day in Palm Beach.

What a non-issue. It's a free calendar, not an official proclamation!

It is on my calender from this year and from last. It most certainly IS a day that is recognized by most calendars.

No it couldn't have. For the second time; Christians are commanded to love, pray for and bless our enemies. No true Christian can fly a plane into a building with innocent people on board. You seem to know very little about Christianity, but you are quick to attack it.

Meh...no reason to think so hard about something that was free. Most free stuff is trash and would be in the recycle bin faster than I can type this sentence...

Jose Lambiet needs to write more important articles or go back to Cuba on the holiday marked on the free calendar for him. Obviously those are holidays that people go out grocery shopping. Anybody out there celebrating Pearl Harbor or 911? Shame on the Palm Beach Post for printing this nonsense.

I see it as American vs non-American.


I did see that Publix pulled all the calendars..no more available and next year will mark 12/7 in honor of Pearl Harbor day.
That fits right in with the anti American liberals. Pigs will fly before you see a self proclaimed tolerant liberal embracing traditional American values, or putting America first.
