Faux News led the coverage.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/religious ... rt-contest

And liberals are constantly saying they are the world's leader in fake news.  Why did NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. race to counter the report?  All that did was keep it "in the news". 

Remember the show Married with Children?  That show is an almost perfect comparison to what happened here.  The network was ready to pull the plug on the show because nobody was watching.  In steps a bunch of Moms, with way too much time on their hands, who started screaming from the roof tops about how horrible the show's themes/story lines were.  So many people tuned in to see for themselves that rating skyrocketed, and the show is now in perpetual syndication and has a cult-like following.

March 31st has been designated transgender day of visibility since 2009.  The date of Easter is variable according to the lunar calendar and will not fall on March 31st again until after both of us are worm food.  

This administration merely upheld the same egg decorating guidelines as every other administration (including Trump's) since 1979.

And for Protestants like myself, Easter is the most sacred day of the church year, regardless of what other events might also be celebrated on that day.  My wife and I were at sunrise service this year, as we are every year,  and it was very inspirational.  How about you?

Oh... and since you seem to know so much about Christianity, can you point me to the portion of the New Testament where the dying and rolling of the eggs of chickens is incorporated into Holy Week?

No one is claiming anything about Easter eggs other than the fact that kids are not being permitted to draw a cross on one or draw any kind of religious picture as part of the day in proximity to the White House.  That was unheard of before the Biden administration took over and the Easter Bunny needed to escort the idiot president you elected around the lawn to prevent him from saying something stupid, ironically just as you've done here.
I'm surprised they didn't have their armed security guards checking out their drawings at gunpoint!  I'll bet libs like you would have LOVED that!

And I have no need to thump my chest with pride over my religion as you apparently do, especially when you choose to mock the Passion of Christ as you found was so necessary.

No, it has been that way since 1978.  Every president (Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, TRUMP, and Biden) has followed this directive.

Wrong.  The rules about egg decorating for the White House Easter Egg Roll have been in place for decades.  

And I do not mock the Passion of Christ.  I used sarcasm to mock the people who think that colored chicken eggs have anything at all to DO with the Passion of Christ.

Faux News reported that Biden had changed the rules.  The other networks stepped in to correct that partisan hack job fake news piece.

First...I doubt any media outlet would report any of the kids had a horrible time.  However, since any subset of the universal set will, almost always, have the same characteristics of the universal set, the odds are good some kids didn't have a blast.  That is the reason sampling and polling are used. But that's neither here nor there.

What you are apparently too stupid to grasp is the "outrage" (to use YOUR word) is NOT how the "eggs of chickens" are decorated OR that they are part of any "Christian doctrine or sacrament".  It is the banning of religious emblems from an event commemorating a religious celebration. Are you honestly so dense you don't see how inane that is? And it doesn't matter who started it or the political party to which they belonged.

An Easter Egg roll does not "commemorate Easter".  It is merely contemporaneous with Easter.  The point being... "The American Egg Board flyer’s standard non-discrimination language requesting artwork has been used for the last 45 years, across all Dem & Republican Admins—for all WH Easter Egg Rolls —incl previous Administration’s,"

IOW, quit bitching at Joe Biden about this.

You still don't get my point.  Is it an act or are you really that **** stupid.  If you bother to actually read what I have posted, and not just the parts you want to read, you will know that I have said (repeatedly) it is a stupid policy and has been since it was started.  I really don't give a **** about who is in office if they continue it. Someone should "man up" and simply say, "Easter is in the name.  Anyone who knows anything understands Easter is a religious celebration.  Of course religious emblems can be on the eggs.  If people have a problem with that, they should probably not attend the event."

Also...and this may come as a huge emotional blow to you...but you don't get to tell me what to do.  If I want to bitch about Sniffing Joe, I will.  If you don't like it, you can go **** yourself.

Unpack your hypocrisy for all to see.  I am fine with that.   

There is NOTHING religious about an Easter Egg Roll other than the fact that it happens on the same day as Easter.  Easter Parades aren't religious either.   Our government was founded on the separation of church and state.  The White House Easter Egg Roll is a LONG standing activity and if the National Egg Board wants to say no crucifixes on colored eggs for that event, how does that get in the way of kids having fun rolling eggs on the lawn?

This is every bit as stupid as right wingers spending several news cycles criticizing Obama for wearing a tan suit.  Is that really the best you got?

I never will respond to that doxxing ****.  She knows it.  In my mind she is, quite literally sub-human.  I value the life of the cockroach I step on outside on the sidewalk more than I do hers.  If someone reported to the board that she had been killed in a hit-and-run accident on the streets of South Boston, I would celebrate, and, the next time I took the Downeaster down to catch a Sox or Celtics game, I'd make time to go to the scene of the crime, and laugh.  The only time I see her posts is when her posse quotes them.  Trust me, I am not "gun-shy" and if I thought I could use one of mine on her and get away with it, I would.

So you actually threatened another poster with a gun?
 

I'm new to this site.

Is this behavior typical?

Leftists prove daily what pieces of **** they are.

not at all.  there were a whole bunch of kids there this year and, by all reports, they had a blast.  

That doesn't change the fact that dying the eggs of chickens and rolling them about is not really part of any Christian doctrine or sacrament.
