Kearns ordered the committee to require Jensen to remove the wreath, but members refused after concluding that it was merely a seasonal symbol that didn't say anything. Kearns fired all five committee members.

Thats awesome, what about all the peace love and joy crap the city puts up around where I love, is that anti Iraq?

How utterly ridiculous... people are willing to complain at anything. Shame... SHAME on those neighbors who would dare complain about something like this... and shame on Kearns for firing those members of the committee for not agreeing with him. *Shakes head in disgust*

How disgusting and anti-Jesus can Christians get? Since when was Jesus against peace? Hello? Blessed are the peacemakers...I guess when the meek inherit the earth it ain't gonna be the warmongering Christians of the Pagosa Springs homeowners association. Fire Kearns...he needs to read the Beatitudes.

Lord Jesus, hurry back and save us from your followers!

      Oh great people. Sure, just go ahead and support this Satanist who is against our troops. You're all just helping the demonic terrorists win.

        It was a misunderstanding? Didn't sound much like a misunderstanding when the president of the HOA said that it was "anti-Christ" and offensive.
