Michael Medved: Christmas Symbols Deserve More Respect Than Atheist Insults
Michael Medved has this commentary on Townhall. He writes:
The ludicrous battle over holiday displays at the Washington State Capitol reflects current confusion over coexistence of the nation’s Christian heritage and its Constitutional restrictions on religious establishment. The Olympia idiocy also highlights the radical nature of social changes regularly demanded by secularist and separationist militants . . .
To those who object to any expression of religious sentiment or symbolism on public property, the Washington wackiness suggested the inevitable result of even the most trivial and well-meaning breach in the “wall of separation” between faith and state. According to this reasoning, once you’ve permitted a nativity scene, there’s no reasonable basis for resisting the Flying Spaghetti Monster Holiday Display . . .
