Watters' World Showdown: Why Did a Town Council Ban a Christmas Tree Honoring Veterans?

It was tradition in the town of Bar Harbor, Maine to pay tribute to American soldiers by putting lights on a tree. The memorial was a way to honor the veterans and celebrate the Christmas they missed out on during the Battle of the Bulge.

Last month, the town council voted in favor of banning the tree, calling it “confusing” and “tacky.” O’Reilly Factor producer Jesse Watters traveled to Maine to find out why they canceled the tradition.

Those who support the tree argue that it was not about Christianity, but a symbol of hope and love. Paul Durost, from the American Legion, explained, “The memorial is about a historical event. And you can’t wipe that away by saying, well, it’s a Christmas tree.”

  2. Thats because the nut jobs don't want you to have hope, or love, or anything else except to be their slave...

    Takwe kenya for instance, they look at their people as money and economy and don't think of them as people...

    So in essence your thought of as a slave who will give them your money until you die...

  6. To quote Merle Haggard...."they love our milk and honey, but preach about some other way of livin'"....they don't mind having the rewards of capitalism and free markets, and they certainly don't mind when OUR kids get killed and maimed so they can enjoy the fruits of their blood. It might be best if that tree was set up in the middle of one of their secluded mansions. Then set on fire.
