War on Christmas Erupts in Illinois
BY STEVE METSCH, Southtownstar.com
To avoid what could be a costly lawsuit, the village of Alsip will break with tradition and not erect a cross on its water tower near the Tri-State Tollway this holiday season.
The cross had been a fixture since the 1970s, Mayor Patrick Kitching said Monday. But after the Freedom from Religion Foundation, based in Madison, Wis., advised Kitching it would file a lawsuit demanding removal of the cross, citing separation of church and state, Kitching decided to not wage a losing and likely costly legal battle.
For the flavor of the response here are a couple of recent comments:

I feel like I'm hollerin' up a hole. This nation that was built upon the Judea-Christian values is descending into an aethist pit. And for what? Out morals have sustained us for all these years and is now being chucked away to apease a Godless liberal upheaval. Let's all just play by the rules. Want to change a law? Do it constituionally. Until then let's follow the rule book that made this country great, The Constitution.

OXY_MORON FOR YOU: You can't show any signs of your Christian religion and beliefs because they offend me because I do not believe as you do. I am and atheist(they say) I don't believe in God, he does not exist (they say). So if HE does not exist HOW can HE offend? You are offended by imaginary beings? Are you a 2year old seeing monsters under your bed? GROW UP
I AM SOOOOOOO GLAD I WILL BE STANDING IN HEAVEN WHEN YOU MEET YOUR DOOM

The village needs to just have some "taggers" paint a very nice replica of a wooden cross on that water tower. Then write a report up as vandalism. And then elect not to do anything about it at the council meeting because of a lack of funds in the budget... Let Santy Obama and his ilk in the federal government pay for the repaint job...
After dropping Benghazi from the top billing at Fox Nation where it had been a fixture for many weeks, now this is what they're pushing.
The War on Christmas.
