The Christmas Catch-22

Anybody wandering around Washington DC around the area of the Supreme Court only needs to look across the street to see a complete nativity scene oh-so-close to the hallowed public grounds of America's final word in legalese. But this is not just any manger. Oh no. It is the enacted master plan of the Anti-Anti-Christmas Brigades:

WASHINGTON - One man's quest to get the ten commandments displayed in government buildings is taking an unusual turn: a nativity scene located across the street from the Supreme Court.

Reverend Rob Schenck says the manger -- set up in the front yard of his office across the rear entrance to the Supreme Court -- is part of a national effort.

Schenck, a member of Faithandaction.org, needs a special permit for the religious display since his front yard is technically public property, but he never applied for one.

Instead, Schenck says he is challenging the city to force him to remove the nativity scene. If the city allows Schenck to display the manger, his next step will be to "ask the city, 'Why not a permanent public display of the ten commandments?'"

YESSSSSSS! EET EEES BREEEELIANT!

For those of you too slow to understand, this is how it works: He puts up a Christmas display near the Court. If they make him take it down, he protests on anti-Christmas grounds. If they don't make him take it down, he protests using the line of logic that since they allowed it to remain up, they condone Christ on state property, and then they must put up a permanent display of the 10 Commandments.

HA! See! He's at least one or two steps ahead of all of YOU! You didn't see it coming!

[The above so-called 'attitude' is a satiric expression of the insolance this individual seems to have for any meaningful public debate about any of this. This is the line of reasoning that they attempt to use to force these things down our throats- it serves many purposes, but the main goal is to buttress the non-existent complaint of their perpetual societal persecution for being conservative Christians. But, before they mistake this honey trap argument as a Christian debater's gift from above, they should know that many of us think that it is, simply... moronic.]
