Florida woman in ‘Catholic Warrior’ t-shirt destroys Satanic Temple’s holiday display
I wonder if this woman realizes she represents everything the Founding Fathers wanted to escape from, with respect to religious intolerance?
Oh, who am I kidding?
The controversial display — in which an angel can be seen descending into a pit of fire — stood alongside both traditional Christian Nativity scenes and an 8-foot-tall “Festivus pole” made of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans until 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, when Susan Hemeryck walked up to two Florida Department of Law Enforcement Capitol Police officers and told them that she was “sorry, but I have to take this down.”
Hemeryck, who was wearing a “Catholic Warrior” t-shirt at the time, told the Associated Press that “it’s just wrong, when you remove baby Jesus two days before Christmas and put Satan in his place? I was there at the right time and the right moment and I needed to take a stand against Satan.”
The Florida director of American Atheists, John Porgal, said “the angel’s dead. We’ve been tolerant of their [Nativity] display. We didn’t like it, but we tolerated it. You see what they did to our display.” He called the damaged display “a sign of what the religious right’s idea of tolerance is.”
Hemeryck’s only regret is that she was unable to do further damage to the display before Capitol Police arrested her on criminal mischief charges.
“I just yanked that little devil off the fishing line,” she said. “I should have just done a better job and finished it off for good.”

That's Pat Buchanan in a wig, is who that is.
But that's just me... 
Showing a fallen angel.
And this wonderful example of Catholic tolerance is wrong. "Baby Jesus" was NOT removed - "The controversial display — in which an angel can be seen descending into a pit of fire — stood alongside both traditional Christian Nativity scenes and an 8-foot-tall “Festivus pole” made of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans."
I wish I had time to go to the Capitol and see the Festivus pole! It sounds intriguing.
My only objection to the other "holiday displays" is their lack of artistic merit. C'mon, guys, there have to be people with some artistic ability that would love to have their work displayed at the Capitol. The non-Christian displays are seriously amateurish - I could have done better when I was in elementary school!
