Christmass tree removed.

Republican complains about decorations on Christmas tree.
I am flabbergasted.

I don't think it was about Christmas. The issue is/was the lottery.

So for something most of the people supported by voting it in, a minority can object and it will be removed. Isn't the shoe on the other foot here?

The issue was the lottery ticket decorations, not the tree itself. Apparently the politician in question was against the lottery.

BTW, I still think it's a stupid thing to do...it's a friggin Christmas tree!! Make ornaments out of whatever you want.

There are intolerant idiots on the Right as well as on the Left..., just not as many.
