KLEEFISCH REPORT: CALLING IT WHAT IT IS

Tis the season for us to renew our disgust over the "de-Christmasing" of Christmas. Every year it seems more things morf into "holiday" celebrations, "holiday" trees and "holiday" lights. A lot of times, political correctness eclipses our focus on the real point of December 25 or it at least blocks our view a little. Not for some, though. Cheers to the people who know that "holiday" means "holy day" and that Christmas is why we have "holiday" trees to begin with. And cheers to the people who celebrate Christmas-Christ's birthday- as a part of their community's history. Perhaps they can teach at lessons at the state capitol. There are still places in Wisconsin's public sector where Christmas is welcome!

    Rebecca must never have heard of separation of church and state. Probably becaus she was too busy worshipping Bush and his merry band of religious bible thumping crackpots.

    If you can find "separation of church and state" in the Constitution, I'll pay for your Christmas presents. ALL the First Amendment does is protect the FREE EXPRESSION of religion from government interference. It DOES NOT prohibit the display of religious imagery in public. In fact, it DEFENDS my right to put a Nativity in public. Anyone who says it doesn't is either inherently dishonest or just really, really stupid. Which one are you, 4Liberty?

    AS long as we buckle under to all these
    groups, we will lose what we have.
    They have more say because they unite
    and are backed by those who hate any
    tradition we hold dear. It seems we
    have to fight for everything anymore.
    No pledge to our flag, no prayers &
    no christmas. Jackson & Sharpton has
    more say than the average citizen.
    WHY?? BECAUSE WE LET THEM.
