Dear Loudoun County, Virgina, officials, no, a Christmas display that just has the Jesus, Mary, and Joseph (but no angels<\/b>) will not<\/i> pass Constitutional muster.

Last Winter, they opened the floodgates and allowed all groups that wanted them to have displays. Of the 10 displays, most of them came from non-Christians This year, they\u2019re not taking that chance. The Loudoun County Courts Grounds and Facilities Committee met earlier this week to discuss the issue. Committee member John Mileo argued that…\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
