No it isn’t. Some people are idiots. We really need to learn to not give shite like this attention.

Ah yes. The actions of one always speak for an entire group of people.

Never in my life have I ever heard of anyone being upset at someone putting up Christmas lights because they personally couldn’t afford them, or because they didn’t celebrate Christmas.

If they existed, they certainly didn’t live in America, but rather under Marxism, and that was THEIR religion of choice. If you can’t practice tolerance for others, AMERICA IS NOT FOR YOU.... Grow up, or pack your butt and leave. It’s just that simple.

Tough shite.

Here is some education for you!:

The world doesn't care about your feelings and your horrible decision making that left you under-privileged...

we are entitled to live our lives without your commenting on how we're the one who need to be educated. The reason you feel what you feel is that you are uneducated or indoctrinated to believe you are a victim, either way, we don't care what you think, the lights will stay on

Did Derek Anderson just describe socialism? Hmm...

Also, today I learned that Derek Anderson made the Pro Bowl in 2007.

If I lived next door to that guy, you would be able to see my lights display from outer space.

You apparently don't travel in proggy circles enough. Because that attitude is very much real. Like another poster said, they are generally very miserable people who want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.

It’s a crazy note written to a neighbor by another neighbor.

Does this apply to everyone, or just progressive liberals?

I could write down a very long list of things that liberals hinted at just 20-30 years ago that sounded silly, ridiculous, even impossible. You’d be told ‘you’re insane if you believe that would really happen. These are just fear tactics to demonize liberals.’ Now these things are reality. The inches have been given and miles are now being taken.

The worst part is that this is just the beginning, and there are still people who think there is such a thing as a moderate Democrat.

sometimes I think it would be fun to troll liberals into doing something like removing all of their Christmas lights because of racism
