Send Denver's mayor a lump of coal for Christmas

Michelle Malkin reports on the humbugs in Denver who are refusing to allow Christians to sing "offensive" carols in this year's "Parade of Lights":

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper recently announced that next year the phrase "Merry Christmas" will be removed from the city building and replaced with "Happy Holidays."

And now a church group who wants to march in the Parade of Lights and sing Christmas carols will not be allowed to participate in the parade. Organizers say the parade is about the holidays, not Christmas

...

But last spring when the Faith Bible Chapel asked to be a part of the parade, offering to sponsor or build their own float and sing carols, organizers said no because it would be offensive.


Yeah, "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Away In A Manger" are really offensive. Uh-huh. Yep, we don't want those offensive songs about how God's love for the world is so great that He sent His only Son to be born into the world as a baby in order to bring us salvation.

In answer to this ridiculous prejudice, Ms. Malkin proposes that people send Denver's mayor lumps of coal:

I am hereby launching the Lump of Coal campaign. Later today, I will box up a lump of charcoal, mark the package "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" and send it to the Denver Mayor in protest of his idiotic policy. Please join me in doing the same (and if you take a photo of your creatively designed package, I will link/post).

Send to:

Mayor John W. Hickenlooper
Denver City and County Building
1437 Bannock Street, Suite 350
Denver, CO 80202


Sounds good to me. Now, where to find a lump of coal around here...
