31. #2 You don't actually read articles, do you?

Or think before posting, do you. You're just a troll, it would seem. You post to see if anyone will bite at the bile you're spewing. It gets tiresome.
32. #11 So, to make a quick calculation from #6, Cynthia.

2% of the 50,000 people invited to the White House Christmas Party is 1,000 people. Last year, there were 800 people invited to the Hannukah party. This year, it's 400. Both are less than 2%, thus less than the upper limit you claim US Jews in the US are entitled to, and beyond which they should keep quiet. Now, I'm no expert on how much the White House spends on parties beyond the size of the guest list, but those numbers do give a pretty clear indication of the size and scope of the events. So yes, your Christian-ness, you're ahead. Way ahead.
33. I for one believe that NO "religious" holiday should be
Another American ,   Citizen, USA   (12.07.09)
celebrated in the White House, since it is, after all, PUBLIC PROPERTY. I believe in the full separation of Church (Synagogue, Mosque, Shinto Shrine, what-have-you, etc.) and State as laid out by the founders of our nation. As far as I'm concerned, there should be NO RELIGIOUS DISPLAYS OF ANY KIND on public property in the USA. Period.
34. #11 What rock have you been living under???

This country is a melting pot. Always has been. Always will be. Don't delude yourself that your beloved fantasy of this being a "Christian Coutry [sic]" has any real relevance, esp. where Hispanics are on track to outnumber us whites in the next 2 decades. Get used to it.
35. 11 AC: America was founded on JUDEO-Christian principles...
Rivkah   (12.08.09)
Christianity was founded on a JEWISH religiion by a JEWISH Rabbi who is the Messiah for Jews,Joes,and Gentiles. JEWS came first, then Christians who corrupted the JEWISH religion of the JEWISH Messiah, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Y'hovah.

Obama administration is forgetting what jews have contributed to american society, what they can do.
