The New York-based Catholic League is accusing Boca Raton of discrimination for buying menorahs with taxpayer dollars and displaying them in public buildings without displaying Christian nativity scenes alongside them. In an e-mailed statement, Boca Raton Assistant City Manager Michael Woika responded, "The City of Boca Raton celebrates the holiday season by having displays in the lobbies of public buildings in a manner consistent with Supreme Court and other judicial rulings. These displays are City-owned decorations and are comprised of a Christmas tree, a menorah, and a "Seasons Greetings" sign, and may include garlands, winter decorations (such as snowflakes and snowmen), and/or lights." Catholic League President Bill Donahue cited a 2006 ruling by the Second Circuit Court of New York that "specifically identified the menorah as 'a religious symbol of the Jewish faith, recognized as such by the general public.'"

Where's the ADL at protesting this egregious violation of "One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order."

I'm very surprised william donahue took on the jews this way. i think he is generally moronic & an abysmal spokesman if he purports to be some sort of representative of Catholics (which he is not).
