Fox Square's All-American Christmas Tree burned in fire, suspect arrested

[Ethereal]

There's nothing particularly American about Christmas trees. In fact, they were considered unacceptable pagan symbols by most Americans well into the mid 1800's. It was new immigrants who popularized them later in the 19th Century.

In other words, Christmas trees became an American tradition in the 19th century. Must be why liberals get so offended by the sight of them.

A Christmas tree is a racist symbol because blacks were lynched from trees.

Any American tradition the progressives do not like. That ranges from a traditional election day to traditional Christmas songs. Th e 4th of July must be as offensive as Columbus Day, if they stay true to "racist" claims.

I doubt the man who burned this beautiful tree will even be in jail over a day or two. Gprra let people like him back on the streets to continue his "work".

Knowing this lady, I'm sure there is a connection to white supremacy.

I thought that only happened in the Wild West to white men who were cattle rustlers or who didn't get a chance at a fair trial .

According to Chard, just using the word "tradition" makes you a racist.
