Brought to my attention by [livejournal.com profile] hametsunosaturn: Colorado Sub-Division Bans Peace Sign Wreath.

Here's a second article.

Now, let's think about this for a second, and I really want you to hear me, this time. Christmas is, ostensibly, about the birth of Jesus Christ. JESUS CHRIST. The man whose main message was peace and love and you want to BAN A PEACE SIGN AT CHRISTMAS?! You want to take the season of peace of joy and such so on, and you want to mar it, FUCK IT ALL UP, Destroy a Winter Festival, take something Clean and Cold and Bright and you want to Sludge it with your fucking politics.

I despise you, Colorado. I despise you, anyone who says that there is a "War on Christmas." I despise you, anyone who doesn't connect your own actions with the actions of the things that you claim to hate. You hypocrites. You idiot bastards.

Think. Stop, look at your actions. Just because you Call yourself soemthing does not Make you that thing. Unless you back your classifications up with your actions, you are not truly anything.

I was raised in a family of Pentacostals, Baptists, Catholics, Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists, and Agnostics; I have a... rather unique view on religion. But I can provide you damn near every perspective on Christianity and faith that there is. Even your own. And you could, too, if you would just pay attention.

My point is this: Don't make me preach at you. This isn't preaching. This is yelling. Most of you have never heard me preach.

Kearns, meanwhile, also said he was concerned about the pagan symbolism of the peace sign. “It’s also an anti-Christ sign. That’s how it started,” he told the Durango Herald.

Is this dude a total idiot or what? People seriously need to get their heads out of their asses. In general.

Because it's the signal of a greater hypocrisy that, if not shown, clearly and concisely, will never change. if I can get even one person to realise that they are being an ass-backward biggoted moron, and that maybe it's making them unhappy-- if I can get just One person to try Thinking-- then I've done my job.

Yeah. It's totally insane. I especially like the part where it says that the five board members who disagreed with him WERE FIRED. That's one way to keep yourself in power. Get rid of anyone who opposes you.

TOWN HAS NO REGULATORY CONTROL OVER HOA
The Loma Linda Subdivision and Home Owner Association is not located in Town limits. Also, municipalities like the town do not regulate home owner associations' covenents, codes and restrictions (CC&R).

THE TOWN WHOLLY SUPPORTS THEIR PEACE SIGN DISPLAY AND ALSO WISHES FOR PEACE ON EARTH.


Nice, right?

Very disturbing little town they've got there, and a lot of warring factions, it seems...

The War on Christmas is a load of bull invented by media outlets on slow news days. I hate people who hate people who say "Happy Holidays". It's a fucking phrase. It's not a big deal. Get the fuck over it.

This wreath is only the beginning of a long holiday--ahem, I'm sorry, "Christmas"--season. Aren't you excited?




And they say liberals are the ones who insist on political correctness and censorship....

Everyone tries to hold Their definition, it's simply that some people try to insist that Others hold it, too.

That's the crossed line. And not recognising that You're doing what you say everyone Else is doing is pissing on the line.

At least when I enforce my values, I recognise my choices and actions, and can embrace the contradiction, and make it make logical sense.

It's all reactions to reactions. The swing of the pendulum.

Exactly, but if we become cnsciuos of it, we can change the direction of the arc, or at least the meaning behind it.
