A Christian Liberal is NOT an oxymoron.

People are just wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ay too sensitive:

Britain’s biggest retailer Tesco apologised on Tuesday after complaints that a Christmas card it sold was offensive to people with ginger hair.

The card in question shows a child with red hair sitting on the lap of Santa Claus under the banner: “Santa loves all kids. Even ginger ones.”

Davinia Phillips, whose three children all have red hair, was enraged when she saw the card at one of Tesco’s stores in northern England.

“It’s discrimination, pure and simple. I have shown it to a lot of friends and they are all disgusted by it,” she was quoted by newspapers as saying.

It isn’t discrimination. It’s a joke. It isn’t a particularly funny one, but there isn’t – or shouldn’t be – a law against unfunny jokes, even tasteless ones.

And just because the card has a child on it does not mean it was meant to be sent to a child. Come on. I wouldn’t send it to an eight year old, but I might send it to my sister-in-law.

Okay, it’s over the limit – more than three bucks. So she’s out of luck.
