No Christmas Parade, no fireworks.
The internationally known fireworks company, Grucci, has pulled out of an annual Christmas event on Long Island because the town of Patchogue decided to break with its 15-year tradition of holding a Christmas Boat Parade: This year it decided to rename the event the Patchogue Holiday Boat Parade.
Grucci vice president Phil Butler, a vocal critic of the secularization of Christmas, accused the parade’s organizers of “using all the themes of Christmas and plagiarizing all those themes.” Grucci is headquartered on Long Island.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commended Butler’s decision: “If more people like Phil Butler stood up to the high priests of political correctness, the dumbing-down of Christmas would cease Christmas is the only holiday that is singled out by these authoritarians. They do not object to Jewish or Muslim holidays, nor do they object to holidays like Martin Luther King Day. And they relish Kwanzaa celebrations. But when it comes to Christmas, they quickly become censors. “So Kudos to Grucci. Let this be the first of many counterpunches thrown at the cultural fascists this year.”

Dear Fellow Business Owners
As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obamawill be our next president, and that my taxes and fees will go up in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8-10%.
I will also have to lay off six of my employees. This really bothered me asI believe we are family here and didn't know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did.I strolled thru the parking lot and found eight Obama bumper stickers on my employees cars. I havedecided these folks will be the first to be laid off.
I can't think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know.I am sending this letter to all business owners that I know.

I don't think there are any federal anti-discrimination laws that would apply here.
