Christmas and The Obama Administration

Just learned this morning that Obama's Department of Veterans Affairs in Virginia has banned the use of Christmas trees and wishing people a Merry Christmas in their facilities. Here's an excerpt from the actual notice that was sent via email:

"Public areas may only be decorated in a manner that is celebratory of the winter season. Displays must not promote any religion. Please note that trees (regardless of the types of ornaments used) have been deemed to promote the Christian religion and will not be permitted in any public areas this year."

Also learned that music must be secular.

Seems almost daily I read about some new form of political correctness, regulation or law restricting our freedom of expression. Where oh where is this country headed???
