A public Christmas festival is no place for the Christmas story, the city says. Officials have asked organizers of a downtown Christmas festival, the German Christkindlmarket, to reconsider using a movie studio as a sponsor because it is worried ads for its film "The Nativity Story" might offend non-Christians.

New Line Cinema, which said it was dropped, had planned to play a loop of the new film on televisions at the event. The decision had both the studio and a prominent Christian group shaking their heads.

READ THE REST

   Can you imagine that? Some non-Christians might get offended! Oh what a shame! If the non-Christians don't like it then I think that they should just pack the hell up and go the home!

    "God bless America?" I do believe that God has pretty much stopped blessing America a long time ago as a nation because we have given into this sort of crap. We have forgotten how to look toward God first and we have worried to much about hurting someone else's feelings instead.

    It is a sad day when we are worrying about upsetting a group of non- believers.                                                       Michael d.

 

Limbaugh on a tear again!

(November 27, 2006 -- 09:36 PM EDT    TPM

Here's Rush Limbaugh saying that because all the Bush mumbojumbo in Iraq hasn't panned, we should just "blow the place up." I know we're supposed to get really outraged over this sort of thing and bent out of shape. But why exactly? These guys -- really the whole movement -- are so pitiful, such utterly pathetic whiners and fools, it's hard to treat them as anything but spoiled children.

We'll bring democracy to the world because liberty isn't the property of one culture or civilization but God's gift to mankind. But if these friggin' towel-heads won't get with the program, then, well, just nuke'em.'

It's like talking to a five year old with behavior problems. And this is Russert's interlocutor, represents the mindset of those who still control the executive branch.
