Abbott, Paxton Make Pitches for Nativity Scene

[TexasTowelie]

Put your nativity scene back up, Gov. Greg Abbott told a small town near Beaumont on Tuesday.

The town of Orange took down its nativity scene from in front of city hall when a local atheist group requested permission to display a “Happy Holidays” sign along with the Christmas scene.

The nativity scene was removed Monday to avoid potential legal costs, though the atheist group did not make a legal threat, according to a statement from City Manager Shawn Oubre's office obtained by the Beaumont Enterprise. The scene was moved to private property.

Abbott weighed in Tuesday, saying the nativity display is constitutional and urging the city to put it back up.

1. Greg likes losing lawsuits

Greg and Ken Paxton are both really dumb attorneys who like to lose lawsuits

2. I can't believe that Greg raked in the dough on his personal injury lawsuit.

He would never be able to make a living on the contingency fees as a trial lawyer.

I am ashamed of what my state has become. It is beyond words.
