Understand how this works folks. You find yourself dependent on the government. You are living on the government dime. You have been trained to see the government as the nanny, so when they come in to your government provided home and tell you that you cannot display decorations that show your faith, you are a little worried about losing what the nanny gives you.
Say I’m a over the top on this one. Go ahead; say it:
According to the center, HUD has issued a directive banning “any religious symbols or religious words associated with Christmas,” which effectively prevents Mrs. Arnold from placing a small Christmas tree outside her door if it contains any religious symbols or words – “even an angel,” AFA said in a special alert asking for e-mails.A spokeswoman at the center who preferred not to give her name told WND the rules now prevent displays “like a manger, like a Christ child, any religious symbols.”
“We used to have a sign outside that said, ‘Jesus is the reason for the season,’ but we can’t anymore,” she told WND. “We’re all very unhappy about that.”
In other news, there is no War on Christmas.
“If the residents want to have a Christmas party in their community room, they cannot call it a Christmas party. The Center says HUD directs residents not to use the word ‘Christmas’ but to use the word ‘holiday,’” the AFA advisory said.
“A Sunday School class from a church near Mrs. Arnold’s apartment comes every year to host a Hanging of the Greens and Christmas Party for all the residents. She said the highlight of their Christmas Party comes at the very end of The Hanging of the Greens when someone places the angel on top of their Christmas tree. Their tradition is now banned by the federal government,” the AFA said.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
I can see some poor old woman falling into the snow outside the building, laying there in the snow trying to get up. She’s flailing her arms and kicking her legs, and some government nobody with a clip board sites her making snow angels.
The story doesn’t mention it, but I’ll bet there wasn’t one complaint from a resident there. It was probably some government pencil-pusher with too much time and not enough sense.
