Why is there a 42 Foot High Menorah on the White House lawn again this year? Imagine if someone tried to put up a cross!

Anyone who considers Christmas to be a more important day than Easter for Christianity is a Christian in name only (a ChINO!). The ENTIRE basis for the religion is that Jesus died for our sins and was reborn - all of which is celebrated at Easter.

I understand what you are trying to say (Christmas is the "bigger" holiday), but you are 110% wrong; Easter is more important than Christmas for Christians (and it's funny how you never see these "Defenders of Christmas" bloviating about a national holiday on Good Friday so that people can go to church. What's up with that?).

Not sure wrote that Christmas IS a bigger day but it didn't say it should be a bigger day. As far as whether it should a bigger day or not, can be argued. The entire basis for Christianity some might say is based on the life of Christ. Without the birth of Jesus there is no Christianity.Love your word bloviating by the way.

It is up again this year... Every year since 2009.

Meanwhile Christian displays are getting banned all over.. And guess who is usually banning/complaining about those???? THE SAME PEOPLE SLAPPING UP THE MENORAH ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN!!

Sickening!

Compare the fact content of the Zi*nist dupe

"Oy vey!! The goyim are catching onto us!! Suppress this story!!!

"

With that of a moral human being:

"The Zi*nist controlled judiciary has ruled that the menorah is not a religious symbol and is thus not subject to the ban on religious symbols being displayed on public spaces. I sh^t you not.

The Christian cross however is not only considered a religious symbol it is called anti-semitic and a hate crime if even a drawing of it is made in school (Bedford MA, for example)."

The face of the people who pressured Obama into doing this is Jacob Lew.

Now our Treasury Secretary.

Merry Christmas K5

There is no menorah on the White House lawn. Try to keep up.

Here's a brief education for you Total Knob,

Why would they put up a cross at the celebration of Jesus's birth?

I take it you don't know much about Christianity?

Jesus Christ came into the world to die on the cross:

"Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour." ~John 12:27

Jesus came into the world to demonstrate the true purpose of life and give Himself as a ransom:

"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many." ~Matthew 20:28

The Father SENT Jesus and gave Jesus as the Saviour of the world:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." ~John 3:16-18

"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." ~Galatians 4:4-5

And don't forget what Simeon the prophet prophesied only eight days after Jesus was born:

On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

Jesus Presented in the Temple:

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:

“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,

you may now dismiss your servant in peace.

For my eyes have seen your salvation,

which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:

a light for revelation to the Gentiles,

and the glory of your people Israel.”

The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” ~Luke 2:21-35

Christians are saved from the consequence of their sins, death, (Romans 6:23) through Jesus' sacrifice of his sinless life on the cross, (and have eternal life because he conquered death and rose again!), which is the very reason Jesus Himself claimed to have come into the world. So shouldn't we be thankful for the reason Jesus came into this world, and be thankful for Him coming giving his life for us! Without the cross there is no hope of salvation!

Total Knob, I take it you don't know much about Christianity......

I think they were goin to put a manger scene next to the Menorah, but they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin in DC.

i just don't worry about stuff like this

You're smart, because this thread is several years old, and it wasn't even true in the first place. Some people ain't happy unless they got something to whine about!

Right.

Ignore the news stories and the pictures.

There is no menorah on the White House lawn.

Keep repeating this mantra.

It's actually true. There's no menorah on the WH lawn and never has been. Try to keep up.

Come on dupes. You can't just straight up cling to a lie when it is so easily disproved.

Updated December 06, 2015.

A National Hanukkah Menorah is lit on the White House grounds, at the Ellipse during the eight day Jewish holiday commemorating the Jewish Maccabees' military victory over Syrian oppression more than 2,000 years ago.

Can anyone tell me why the White House should be "commemorating the Jewish Maccabees' military victory over Syrian oppression more than 2,000 years ago"?

Worth a watch. Love seeing our top pols wearing their yarmulkes

Hey, K5, I'm confused. Usually you tell us to ignore the media because they lie, but now you want us to believe what some report. Si I guess we should believe the lies that support your anti-Semitic agenda and ignore everything that doesn't?

No. I am confused. Are you still trying to stick to your lie? Pictures and a lengthy video of the lighting ceremony shown on the referenced video on CNN seem pretty definitive proof that there was a 42 foot Menorah on the white house lawn earlier this month.

Are you really going to stick to your lie there wasn't one?

It must suck for you to have to consistently try to discredit the truth while pushing a lie. You have to do anything but actually discuss the facts. Primarily the go to Zi*nist tactic. Whining. And more whining. Nearly always accompanied by accusations of anti-Semitism.

Example. You: There is no menorah on the white house lawn. Me: Sure there is and here is definitive proof in the form of pictures, news articles, videos. You: You anti-Semite.
