Ohio town is taking the 'Easter' out of its annual egg hunt

MUNSON, Ohio --

A Northeast Ohio community is taking the "Easter" out of the egg hunt.

....

Still, township trustees are opting to call this year's Easter weekend event "The Spring Egg Hunt."

Dance choreographer Matt Martsolf works with kids every day and has a few of his own. His opinion about what to call this year's egg hunt is shared with dance clients.

"Stop the headache. Just let the kids have their day," Martsolf said.
"It's traditionally been called an Easter egg hunt for years and years and people are little bit too touchy," client Michelle Nelson said.

1. War on Easter?
   
Who'd a thunk?

I agree, let children have their day. The Easter Bunny is an endearing character that I remember fondly from my childhood?

A war on Christians is more like it.  DUmmies wage it daily.

4. It's not like the Easter Bunny is Christian, anyway
   
It's actually pagan. Hares were sacred to the Goddess in ancient Britain.

12. As is the "Easter Egg"
   
The name "Easter", as well. Christians were plaguerists.

Nobody is "taking" anything away from the kids. They're still going to have their egg hunt. To be honest, I doubt any of them actually pay attention to the actual name of the egg hunt.

The only ones making a big stink out of this seem to be the adults.

8. Particularly the adults who had the hissy fit over the word "Easter"
   
Calling an Easter Egg hunt an Easter Egg hunt doesn't take a damned thing away from any adult. Unless they believe the Easter Bunny was crucified and rose from the grave.

Blame it on liberals and atheists.

10. It's about time kids weren't taught that rabbits lay eggs.
   
Prepare them for the shock that they're MAMMALS, like themselves! (God knows it amazes far too many people when they discover boobs.)

Only an idiot, (you) would ever believe that the Easter Bunny lays the eggs he delivers.

So this year when the WH has its Ramadan celebration let's make no mention of pedophile prophets.

Seriously, Tahiti, is that what your mom told you?  The rabbit laid the eggs?  She's as stupid as you are.

Those poor kids.  Who comes and brings them their baskets?  The Spring Bunny?  Thank goodness the Easter Bunny comes to our home and leaves Easter eggs to find in the morning.

It's the Post-Seasonal-Change Celebration Rodent!  At least that way, nobody is offended by the use of the word 'bunny' (or 'Easter').

So, you're saying it would be ok if it was a liberal religious holiday like Paganism? ...and you idiots are telling me you aren't at war with Christianity and everything that's decent in this country. Ramadan is fine, but a nativity scene? Hell no because "it might ohhhffend."

Liberals make me f'n sick. If the Easter Bunny, a nativity scene, or Christmas offends you, go suck on some Carbon Monoxide. There can BE no "coexistence" if you want to deprive the majority of this country of it's heritage. ...but you libs don't want to coexist, do you? You want everyone thinking like you. You're like the political goth.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I heard on the news yesterday that a local businessman decided to sponsor it.  It's now in private hands, on private land, and  the word "Easter" has been restored. 

The private sector to the rescue, once again.

Let's hope this Easter message is included in all democrat campaign literature, because if you help elect democrats, this is what you're voting for.
