to affix a tiny 'John Kerry' tag to the burro's ear? Or maybe a mini bandana?

1. I'd be all for changing the Democrat symbol
Edited on Sun Dec-12-04 02:03 PM by Guarionex
to a big middle finger in a circle....

with an inscription around it

Screw you, you crazy Christianofascists...we'd rather secede than be like you."

How many support that new symbol?

7. I would.
I'm sick to death of hearing about their version of God.

2. Notice there were no elephants in the manger.
Coincidence? I think not.

4. i dunno, that might cause
baby jesus to sleep with a gun under his manger. remember, jesus doesn't like democrats. if you put a kerry bumpersticker on your burro, terrorists might attack your nativity scene.

5. Not tacky...
...but maybe a bit post-climactic? ;)

We all had to read ad absurdum about who Jesus would vote for, I would vote for leaving politics out of mangers. ;)

BTW, believe it or not, the manger in our church to which we add on every year, got an elephant last year and a campfire this year. The donkey was in there from the beginning obviously. But then, those animals don't have any political meaning in Germany. We color our parties. :)

6. Got a big cardboard box?
After you affix the Kerry tag to the donkey's ear, paint the box to resemble an Inn and set it just off to the side of the manger scene...and then affix an elephant to the Inn, blocking the door.

just a thought...
