Should Democrats ban outdoor electric christmas displays to save energy?
I think we should ban and confiscate all christmas lights and other seasonal decorations that use electricity. Maybe also regulate the hours electricity can be used by some businesses - like Fox "News".

1. Actually Xmas lights are a net plus. They encourage the cutting down of pollution-causing pine trees

2. and they keep the plastic farmers working...
I mean all that plastic to make the fake trees...we're keeping America's heartland strong by growing all that plastic and running all the equipment on the fine product produced by America's oil-cows...though as a vegetarian, I do wish more people would support the work of our soy farmers and power and lube their machines with soy-derived oil and gas.

Agrarianism! It's what made America great. It'll make us great again.

7. You know them "live" trees release a lot of "O2" into the air and that causes
everything to rust?
When did the trees start doing that?
Damn Obama socialism! I want my air back!

3. I suggest you set up a fake blog that uncovers a Democratic plan to do just that
and see how long it takes for Fox News to pick up the story.

4. I wonder if Fox would pay me for "inside Information" on the
Socialist Democratic Plot to end Christmas lights...

Us retired folks could use a little extra cash. Sort of like congress.
