   Unless of course you happen to be a conservative, Caucasian, wealthy, christian, then you are a second class citizen.

   How so? What rights and freedom have you lost, except the right and freedom to deny the rights and freedom of others? In what way are you “second-class”, except in that the others are no longer “second class”?

   Two conservative caucasian Washington state democrats defected to the republican side. The people voted for a dem majority but the two turned it into a 51 to 49 republican majority.

   Maybe a better question dude is what rights of yours have I personally denied you or anyone else? Go ahead and live your life but do me the courtesy of allowing me to do the same.
   
   But put up a nativity scene in the public square of a city that is majority christian? Nope, the minority opinion rules.
   
   How is that example indicative of tolerance.

   Nice cartoon. Amazing how so many readers here can pick a fight over a well meaning sentiment.

   It’s not “minority rules”, as I said it’s not giving preference to one religion simply because it’s the majority. If the government recognizes one religion, it must recognize all of them. Since the public sector has no business recognizing religious holidays anyway, it’s simpler just not to put your nativity scene on public property. What, the churches themselves don’t have space for it?
   

   
   Again, in what way have white conservative Christians been pushed to the back seat, just because they now have to share the front seat?

   @fritzoid

   My religion requires me to impose my beliefs upon the rest of society, so stopping me from doing so is a restriction of my religious freedoms.

    @NeoconMan

    My religious beliefs are invisible so I don’t have that problem.

    Sounds like it is time for a recall election.

    You could summarise what you just said to “Bah, humbug!”

    Is that because you don’t think these people are worthy of these things or because they won’t stand for them?

    Bruce, you mistake tolerance for constitutional prohibitions on the government (ANY government within the USA) promoting a particular religious point of view. Our founding fathers understood the slaughter and misery inflicted throughout Europe during previous centuries by religious wars and bigotry, and sought to avoid any such conflicts in the new America that they were creating. Nobody is stopping you from observing Christmas or any other holiday; you just shouldn’t expect it to be promoted at taxpayers’ expense.
