Seriously. What good is done by the owners of the extended care facility taking this action? The claim is that the tree is a "religious symbol." Okay. . . And the point is what exactly? No one objects except the facilities owner and management. (Read the full story here.)
So here's the logic: An icon that represents what has become a secular holiday is declared to be religious (not even an attempt at the Holiday Tree silliness) and must come down. Never mind what the residents want; management is simply too cowardly when faced with political correctness.
The activists and atheists attacking Christmas and its representations are really attacking Christianity. Their goal is to remold America into a secular society where religion and faith are no longer in public view anywhere. Their attacks will in time migrate from direct public displays to indirect endorsements of Christmas, such as FCC licenses for broadcasters who put any Christmas music with religious overtones ("Hark the Herald Angels Sing") over the "public" airwaves. This is complete insanity. No one, whether religious or not, should stand silently by and let these people go unchallenged.
