- you are right; it’s only a small subset of Jews who make a big deal about Hannukah, and I probably should have used clearer language about that.

- As to the Feds promoting Christmas, here you go. Although, note the Hannukah reception they had on Monday. :)

To everyone else, thanks for your praise.

The feds promote religious holidays? The other one I “like” (not) is that Jewish people make a “big deal out of Hannukah.” How so? Its a religious holiday (but a minor one at that).

This has the advantage of being supported by the U.S. Constitution too. This (or something like it) should be required reading for all of our elected officials and in our schools. I don’t think that will happen, though, because it is too profitable to use religion as a tool of divisiveness, to stir up the masses. Happy private holiday of your choice!

I’ve got quite an ego, so take it as a compliment when I say this…

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

This is the post that the Bill O’Riellys of the world need to read before they get on their “war on Christmas” tirades.
