I wondered why they didn't just announce this in March when no one would notice and then when December rolled around everyone would shrug about  "another tax" they imposed.

The Obama administration reacted quickly to head off a public-relations embarrassment by suspending its new Christmas Tree Promotion Board at the USDA yesterday, after a Heritage exposé of the new bureaucracy elicited hoots of derision and probably a few late-night talk show jokes, too.  The White House said it would “rethink” the proposal after the negative reaction, and it might not come back — but that doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the story.  The Obama administration handed conservatives an early Christmas gift with the Ministry of Trees, I write in today’s column for The Fiscal Times, because it provides an easily understood example of how government intervention distorts markets, picks preferred winners, and often does so with the cooperation of the largest players in an industry.

... the issue for conservatives, who wonder why government involves itself in private-sector marketing at all.

No we don't "wonder"; we know damn well why the government does it.

McCarthy was right...

...they were under every bed, and now they're promulgating their final solution...

...time for liberty-minded people everywhere to start opening up big cans of Commie-B-Gone!!!

Newp, not buying it!  How could they cut something down just to hug it, if anything they'd plant one in the yard and hug it anytime.

Why would any group who overwhelming holds in contempt anything religious need a christmas tree?

While we don't know the birthdate and the holiday has been materialized, find me a liberal who doesn't take pleasure stomping on anything religious. Other than being the hypocrites they are and using a tree as a place to lay thier gifts......

Hypocrites indeed.  Remember, liberalism is essentially a gutless belief system, appearances are important, but nothing trumps The Great Leveling.  Most are commies and don't even know it...so how would a hypocrite be capable of the self-realization necessary to know they are hypocrites?  Thus, when confronted, they get angry, lash out and change the subject so that you appear the bad guy.  It's all they know...
