Neighbors' Letter: Christmas Lights Are 'Flagrant Display' of Religious Beliefs

We thought The Grinch was just a fictional character, but apparently his spirit is alive and well in Newton, Massachusetts.

In that town, a family received an anonymous letter from neighbors, who called their elaborate outdoor Christmas display a "terrible eyesore."

 The letter pointed out that "not everybody in the neighborhood is Christian, and many people do not wish to see such a flagrant display of your beliefs ...  religious matters aside, your decorations are beyond tasteless. They are cheap, tacky and kitschy and a terrible eyesore."

Christmas lights and trees has nothing to do with Christianity. Some people are such Grinches. Bunch of do gooders. :mental:  :loser:

I'm sure if there were tack decorations supporting gay marriage it would be hate speech to complain.

I love how the complainer didn't have the nerve to sign the letter.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Yeah? And?  I happen to think gay-rights parades and signs like this:


...are tacky, tasteless, a terrible eyesore, and - dare I say it? (yes, I think I will) - gut wrenching to behold.

I believe you can find sympathy somewhere between 'shit' and 'syphilis' in the dictionary, shit head.

You're dismissed.

Notice they never target the Muslim "faith"? 
If they created a doll of Muhammad and put him in a jar of piss, and called it Piss Muhammad, then I might be impressed.

I'd still be unimpressed, mostly because they'd be doing it under the assumption that conservative, God-fearing men with eee-vil black assault rifles (or is that "riffles") would continue to stand between these idiots and the demon Allah's most fervent worshipers.

Now, if these poofters would do something like that in, say... DOWNTOWN TEHRAN, then I might be impressed.
