Oh my God.

For the past six weeks or so, our local talk show host, whose Right on the Left coast, Lars Larson told us that since the Christmas tree in Pioneer Courthouse Square has been renamed the "Holiday Tree", and since the Jewish community has been allowed to put up a minorah, the Christian community would put up a Cross.

Well, the news came out today that the Cross won't be put up after all. Here's why.

The liberal media has threatened to either deface, vandalize, or destroy the Holy Cross if it is put up in Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Here is one site from indymedia.org calling Lars a facist and stating that the cross is ridiculous.

Remember that name, folks. http://www.indymedia.org.

This is the company that has published threats to cause damage to the Holy Cross, the symbol that is the most widely shown symbol connected to the life and the man who is the Christian saviour, Jesus Christ. December 25th is known world wide as the day that Jesus Christ was born. THAT is the reason for CHRISTMAS. It's not "Gift Giving Day" or "Decorate a tree day", or "eat until you pop day", or "how I went into debt day". We are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Is anyone threatening the Jewish community? They have their minorah displayed, or will very soon. And I'm sure if anyone could figure out what to display for Kwaanza (sp?) that would be just dandy.

So, here's the deal. You don't like seeing the cross? Don't freakin' look at it! I see things all day long that I don't like, so I don't look at them.

I want to go downtown and stand in Pioneer Square Monday evening and sing Christmas Carols that are about Jesus and hold up a cross. And guess what? I'm not really that religious!

Merry Christmas!
