MY CHRISTMAS CRUSADE

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 2, 2004 02:36 AM

The persecution never ends. Denver has launched war against a church group that wanted to march in the city’s Christmas parade “Parade of Lights.” (I hate, hate, hate that p.c. euphemism.)

From the Denver Post: Parade Organizers Say Christmas Carols May Be Offensive To Others

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper recently announced that next year the phrase “Merry Christmas” will be removed from the city building and replaced with “Happy Holidays.”

And now a church group who wants to march in the Parade of Lights and sing Christmas carols will not be allowed to participate in the parade. Organizers say the parade is about the holidays, not Christmas, but leaders of the Faith Bible Chapel say that’s ridiculous.

“We can’t pretend that Christ didn’t exist and Christmas wasn’t about his birthday, so we felt we could sing it and apparently that is not in social vogue anymore,” said Pastor Gary Beasley, with the Faith Bible Chapel.

“This event is not one that has ever intended to have a religious message or a political message,” said Susan Rogers, with the Downtown Denver Partnership.

She said no overtly religious symbols is allowed in the parade and that means participants can’t carry “Merry Christmas” signs and can’t sing traditional Christmas hymns.

I am hereby launching the Lump of Coal campaign. Later today, I will box up a lump of charcoal, mark the package “MERRY CHRISTMAS!” and send it to the Denver Mayor in protest of his idiotic policy. Please join me in doing the same (and if you take a photo of your creatively designed package, I will link/post).

Send to:

Mayor John W. Hickenlooper
Denver City and County Building
1437 Bannock Street, Suite 350
Denver, CO 80202
