UN Bans Christmas Trees In Hopenhagen
Don’t look for Christmas trees at the Copenhagen summit, where the tree-huggers are gathering from around the world to push global socialism in the name of the polar bears. After all, it’s “UN territory.”
Since Christmas is a religious holiday, it has no place at a United Nations event, said officials planning the event.
A sponsor providing fir trees for the conference’s Christmas trees learned this the hard way when it was turned away by planners of the international event, the Copenhagen Post reported.
The trees, commonly used as Christmas trees in Denmark, were originally to be placed outside the Bella Center, where the 11-day conference will be held from Dec. 7 – Dec. 18.
But…
“We have to remember that this is a U.N. conference and, as the center then becomes U.N. territory, there can be no Christmas trees in the decor, because the U.N. wishes to maintain neutrality,” said Denmark Foreign Ministry official Svend Olling.
“Neutrality” is bureaucratese for stamping out anything remotely Christian.
I so hate bleedin’ Lefties! UN territory, my arse, they are guests and should behave as such, the arrogant pigs! O:-)
I bet the Danes were not expecting that ! Christmas trees are not much to do with Christianity anyway; aprt from their pre-Christian Germanic roots they are now commonplace all over the world from Japan to the Persian gulf.
