    I think Christianity is at its best when it isn't reduced to defending trinkets.

    Or being used by billionaire essentially non-believers to distract working Americans while they keep upping their share of national income from the 8% pre St. Ronald Reagan to the near 25 % and growing.

    Hopefully all the christian bankers will be eliminated before christmas, in a deliciously ironic note.

    You have the idea for a great song. Sadly in this day and age it would never be played on any AM station in America and only on a few low watt college stations --even if performed by a duet of Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga.

    If there had even been a hint that they might want to put out "Islamic decorations" the building would have been stopped from being constructed in the first place.

    I could only imagine the outcry if it was the Bush admin + atheism... This not about "trinkets", it's about freedom of speech - a fundamental right and a vital concern for ALL people regardless of religion or lack thereof. Of course liberals here just mock those concerns and let the fed trample all over people - if it's liberal ideology that is not affected. It's also just an added bonus if Christians happen to be the ones hassled.

    You do realize the fed operates independently of any administration, don't you? The president does appoint members to the board, but they serve a 14 year long term, so Obama has had very little influence on what the fed does.

    Congress has more say in regards to oversight but usually doesn't do much.

    So your whole attack line is somewhat ridiculous. If anything, the fed skews Republican. I just think you really need to educate yourself before you pull your pants down in front of everyone.

    Got me. I didn't read the link on my phone - just going by the attitude of the comments, especially the trinkets and Reagan comments. I never did think Obama admin was behind this, just noting the reactions.
