#1 Let's be honest. It wasn't the bunny, plastic grass, and eggs that might give offense. It was the word "Easter".

As far as I can tell, our elites have decided that celebrating the dominant faith in our society causes offense and criticizing minority faiths causes offense, so both have to be banned. What left, of course, is celebrating the minority faiths and criticizing the dominant one.

Nothing wrong with doing any of the above, so long as they're all allowed. But the present situation is hardly one that is fair, honest, or moral.

Thus "Happy Holidays" alongside "Happy Kwanza"; it's "offensive" to mention one of the two holiest days of 3/4ths of the population, but you gotta push, push, push a thirty-year-old "holiday" created by a Marxist, racist, violent crackpot.

I'll bet good money that the St. Paul City Hall puts up signs marking Earth Day.

#2 What farce. This absurd PC shit will never end - until PCism, in all its social engineering forms, is totally eradicated for the ~~mental illness~~ cowardice it is.

#4 St. Paul's human rights director, Tyrone Terrill, asked that the decorations be removed, saying they could be offensive to non-Christians.

Here's an idea. Tell Tyrone, "No". Like they used to do a long, long time ago.

#7 It's an embarrassment, being from the frozen tundra state and all.

But the idiotic state senate leader, a donk, is entertaining. The fool is on tape telling folks not to get all excited about passing DOMA because he spoke to all the justices and there are already enought laws on the books to safeguard marriage (1F+1M). Only problem is the chief justice polled his justices and none of them ever spoke to this fool about DOMA.

The Reps are all over this.

#11 You'd think at least the local pagans would get offended by the removal of the Easter Bunny...
