Audio of the “holiday display task force presentation”, Mayor Doug Hutchinson’s ground rules and clarifications, and citizen comments:…

With only 130,000 residents, why did the city council need a “task force”? Is the city council really that busy?

Cowardice. That way, they can duck all responsibility, no matter what the decision, and lay all the blame on the task force. My city council does the same thing all the time.

I expect things like this from Boulder, not Ft. Collins. Glad to see that they “saw the light”.

I seem to recall a certain collegiate newsprint editor coming under fire in Ft. Collins recently for publishing an incredibly un-PC headline on the front page, hmmmm.

I’ve already busted my wife’s chops enough about being an alum from CSU, guess I’ll have to let her slide this time.

But, yeah, no plans to spend any of my hard earned pesos in that town.

No, Christians can’t have their holidays. This is an ‘age’ of ACLU minority run local governments. Christians have to stand aside, turn the other cheek, as it were. Someday, I hope soon, this whole thing will come to a head, as infections do, and the ACLU and these ‘minorities’ will a get a good punch in the mouth from the majority. This is a DEMOCRACY! Majority rules! If you don’t like it – LEAVE! Sure, you have a right to protest and/or have your own thing, but no right to ruin long established holidays everyone else enjoys.

Christmas as an “educational artpiece.”

You know what? This is probably more offensive to me than the concept of simply banning Christmas! This is the season and holy-day where Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah Who died so that we might recieve salvation. Can’t Christians even have that without a bunch of anti-religion zealots spoiling the whole thing by making Christmas into some sort of performance art?

The wussification of America marches on… and on… and on.

Christmas is/was the designated time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, period. It has been and continues to be perverted in so many ways over the centurys, that in the foreseeable future those who want to actually celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ will have to do so in darkened rooms and hushed tones in hiding for fear of being arrested for being under the influence of joy.

AP can take that city off of his lists of places to visit.

I’ve finally figured it out. Allahpundit is actually Mitt Romney! That’s the only way r2b could wake up with this much derision for the man.

I say, good show Mitt: you “atheist,” “beta-male,” “New Yorker” you.

(Yes, I do know Bryan posted this topic.)
