Discussion: Ohio Town Orders Man To Take Down Zombie Nativity Scene

Discussion for article #231487

The town does not “regulate displays for content,” Bickford assured WLWT.

Dixon’s fiancee, Amanda, told the news station that the nativity scene wasn’t meant to offend anyone’s religious beliefs.

Uh huh. Uh huh. Right.

Let this be a lesson for all. Once you start lying about Santa, it’s just a slippery slope for everyone.

Zombies aren’t real, right along with Jesus and Santa, so where’s the problem?

Ahhhh you beat me to it. Sorry for the post below.

“… Ohio has ordered one resident …”

Under conservatism, is government allowed to limit freedom in general or individuals in particular? I forget.

Could President Obama order a libertarian to fly the flag of Kenya?
