Chicago living up to its leftist ideals
Christkindlmarket Chicago is a German festival akin to Oktoberfest. During the Christmas season it hosts over a million people during its four week duration, and it features the Chicago Christmas tree. The City of Chicago is living up to its leftist leanings by withdrawing its support of the festival because of the Nativity Story movie’s sponsorship of the event.
Ridiculous. New Line Cinema’s response to the ban from NRO:
We were stunned that our paid sponsorship of Christkindlmarket Chicago - the largest Christmas celebration in Chicago - was rescinded based on the “religious” content of our film The Nativity Story.
We had committed to a $12,000 sponsorship for the market, which was to include a display area in the Festival tent, logo signage in all print ads, direct mailings, brochures, flyers and on the website.
We don’t understand why our sponsorship would be rejected for religious reasons, particularly considering the fact that our film details the story that inspired the holiday season that the Christkindlmarket was created to celebrate.
Well get with the program, people, this is Leftist Democrat Chicago that doesn’t recognize a Christian’s right to be one or act like one in public! Just like the Islamists they love to depict as victims of discrimination for being ‘profiled’ on airplanes and other places! Nevermind that all 11 hijackers on 9/11 had names like Ahmed and Mohammed.
Here’s the trailer for the movie, as far as I can tell, the City of Chicago’s attempt at silencing the story could backfire because controversy=cash, and any publicity is good publicity.
Thanks to Jay at Stop the ACLU for the tip.
And…the Swamp Hare

Think it’s about time I get a big bull horn and play Christian Christmas music LOUD for as long as it is legal to do so (10 or 11pm). It would drive the old liberal down the block CRAZY!

…was rescinded based on the “religious” content of our film The Nativity Story…
What the hell’s wrong with that?
Proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the lop-eared; buck-tooth; Bohemian; alligator-sucking DEMOSHITTERS are behind this, as they don’t give a royal rat’s *** about this country anymore … they’d rather keep bringing in more ISLAMIC ******** & ******* who want their style of Gov’t. instilled here!
Only good Democrat I’ve seen in many years was ZELL MILLER — guess the rest of the “Sheet-Heads” have been flushed down the Gov’t. sewer.

So…I have to wonder why Cao dares me to post at the John Kerry thread and closes the comments at the same time. There’s a high concept kinda guy for ya.
So here’s my response:
Yeah, that’s some “rapid fire response” all right. Why, it must take seconds to cut and past all that **** from every wingnut site out there.
Not an original researcher, are you?
So, looking forward to seeing you prove your honesty by posting my response to the Schlossberg “letter.”

Because you’re an idiot and I have no time for idiots. Because you said you give up, but you lied. Because you’re following me from one post to another to harrass me. Need I go on? I should just ban your ip address. It’s up to me who and how I decide to engage in a conversation (with); you don’t own this space. You’ve demonstrated to me that you want to order me around on my own blog and I don’t take kindly to that. Having a conversation is one thing, doing what you’re doing is a completely other issue and I have ways to deal with that.
Now whether you agree with them, I don’t particularly care.
Game, set, match! The end.

And I don’t take kindly to your condescension and insults, so in the future regardless as to whether you change your IP address (for my readers, that is what this person just did)-your comments will be held in moderation.
And they will sit in moderation and won’t ever see the light of day.
Have a nice day.

LOL Cao — go get him!
