Obama's VA Facility Bans Christmas Trees and 'Merry Christmas'
I have to say this fellow Christian. Obama is a total asshole and likes to shit on us because he enjoys persecuting everything Christian -- even something as secular as the Christmas tree.
If this were any other country with a parliamentary system, Obama would already be out of power on a "no confidence" vote.
So Congress is helpless as Obama rules like a tyrant with Executive Orders.
So he ruins Christmas for veterans in hospitals. These guys fought for the freedom of religion, that now has been denied to them.
It makes me want to puke.
And I will say this, any liberal who comes on this thread to deny there is a War on Christmas, you are a liar.
Liberals hate God, Jesus, and the celebration of Christian holidays.
They want a world that only celebrates liberal days, like "Earth Day" -- and by the way Earth Day is held on the birth
Looking at the original source articles (not Breitbart spinning a narrative), it appears to be an HR policy of that particular hospital. Not the Veteran Affairs office. And one that isn't even in effect:
To recap:
Christmas trees are going up.
No one has been forbidden to say "Merry Christmas"
As it says in the Bible- Much ado about nothing
LOL
In a statement the Salem VAMC public affairs officer said, “it was determined that Christmas trees could be displayed in public areas so long as they were accompanied by the respective symbols of the two other faiths that celebrate holidays during this holiday season – namely symbols commemorating Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
After heated debate, Salem VA Medical Center allows Christmas tree after all
As the article argues, even the White House is putting up a Christmas tree.
Worse for your 'War on Christmas' narrative.......this policy the hospitals interpretation of VA Directive 0022, which has been around since at least 2002.
"Religious symbols may be included in a holiday display in a public area of a VA facility if the display does not favor one religion over another, and conveys a primarily secular message. By placing diverse holiday symbols together in the public places of its facilities, VA gives no preference to one holiday above another. Prominently displaying a sign or banner containing a secular message such as ‘Happy Holidays’ or ‘Seasons Greetings’ assists in achieving [that] primarily secular message."
Directive 0022
Its probably better to read the original source article. Its far less biased and includes more useful information.
