[...] Well…except me. That offends the hell out of me. I find it enormously offensive that the press seems to be taking to duck-and-cover tactics of self-censorship because we are living in the Era of the Tyranical Minority; let one voice be raised in objection, and multitudes must do without.

I am very impressed by your blog, I got to it through Michele’s link. I am a Jewish American and I am appalled by what the rabbi has done. The rabbi doesn’t know what he is talking about. The menorah is the Jewish symbol of Chanukah which is a very minor and unimportant Jewish holiday. It is in the remembrance of a Jewish historical event, and it is not a religious holiday. There are other holidays of much more importance for Jews to observe. The only reason it is blown out of proportion is because of the time of year it falls and Jewish parents want their children to have a holiday with presents. Growing up Jewish in this country, I sometimes felt left out due to the large emphasis on Christmas. But, we NEVER would have thought to request the removal of a Christmas tree! I am very lucky to live in a Christian country. Yes, America is a Christian country to all those who deny it. In all of Jewish history, Jews have never been given as much freedom, autonomy and opportunity as in this country. I am tired of hearing liberal, arrogant Jews (and other lucky minorities) try to bite the hand that feeds them. I just want to clearly state my STRONG dissaproval and disgust with the arrogant and ungrateful rabbi from Seattle. He *should* be ashamed of himself, but because of the current culture, he probably won’t be. Thanks, hope to check out your blog in the future!

And here I thought multiculturalism was more of a problem in Canada while the USA was all about the melting pot.
