Kudos to Senator Jim Inhofe for Standing Up for Christmas: Won't March in Tulsa's "Holiday Parade"

Senator Jim Inhofe won't be making an appearance in Tulsa's "Holiday Parade." He is offended they removed Christmas from the parade, and he's not afraid to say so.

"Last year, the forces of political correctness removed the word ‘Christmas’ and replaced it with ‘Holiday’ instead,'' the Oklahoma Republican said.

"I am deeply saddened and disappointed by this change.''

"I did not do so last year, because I’m not going to ride in a Christmas parade that doesn’t recognize Christmas,'' he said.

"I am hopeful that the good people of Tulsa and the city’s leadership will demand a correction to this shameful attempt to take Christ, the true reason for our celebration, out of the parade’s title. Until the parade is again named the Christmas Parade of Lights, I will not participate.''

Inhofe has been a familiar part of the parade riding his horse in it for many years, and he is the former mayor of Tulsa, OK.
