Greg Abbott gets Capitol display ousted, says it mocks Christianity

[TexasTowelie]

Ho, ho, hold it right there, an incensed Gov. Greg Abbott sort of said Tuesday in getting the State Preservation Board to remove a Capitol display that celebrated the Bill of Rights and the winter solstice.

We’ll assume our governor supports both, and it’s clear from Abbott’s letter that it was the manner in which the display celebrated those things that got our gov all grumpy during the festive holiday season.

The display, approved by the Preservation Board’s staff, was the work of the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, a church-state separation group that, depending on your point of view, is either very clever or very grating in promoting its point of view.

I’ll let Abbott, from his Tuesday letter to the Preservation Board, which he chairs, explain the display. Until Abbott intervened, it was to stay up through Friday afternoon.

2. I saw this on the Austin news

and I am beginning to believe that Christianity mocks sanity. Just proof that anyone can get elected in Texas. Just call your self a conservative and the rural masses become inspired.
