~NO CHRISTMAS TREES AT SEATTLE AIRPORT THANKS TO RABBI's DEMANDS !!

[link to www.king5.com]




Frankly this is BS....
This airport has been hosting this SEASONAL CHRISTMAS TREE display for over a decade...Yes it's SEASONAL,
the Season being Christmastime !
Regardless if you are religious or not, that is what this time of year is commonly referred to,
since this is America,
and hypocrisy notwithstanding,
we identify ourselves as a PREDOMINANTLY Christian nation,
hence,the main Holiday is Christmas,
and hence, the brightly decorated Evergreens are known as Christmas trees,
not friggin' "Holiday" trees !

The Rabbi demanded he be allowed to erect an Eight foot menorah, AND have a LIGHTING CEREMONY...

I could see his reasoning if the Trees were adorned with Nativity scenes and Religious symbolism,
and had been installed with some blessing ceremony by a Priest or Minister
but they were NOT <
they were simply bedecked with bright baubles and festive ribbon,
all simply very cheerful-like and religion NUETRAL >>> !

But now because of his unreasonable complaints,
now there are NO representations of this SEASON on display at this Seattle WA. airport, for fear of an irate
synagogue descending on the place !

ALL THE TREES HAVE BEEN REMOVED >

Growing up in the ethnically and religiously diverse culture of NYC, my Jewish friends confided that they were jealous of us cause Christmas was such a way better celebration.....

um hum, jealous Rabbi, there ya go !

Any how you cut it, it's ridiculous that the airport gave in to his demands.

PS,
I don't intend for this to be a Jew bashing thread,
but what that Rabbi orchestrated is just fucked up imo.

Now all the air-travelers are deprived of some harmless visual cheer,
not to mention that awesome smell of Evergreens....

more stupidity of "political correctness" run amuck !!



edit--> and sure there could have been a Menorah displayed too, MINUS the Rabbis ritual!
Save that for the place of worship
