In West Virginia, Mayor Set Off a 3-Day War Over a Christmas Parade

In West Virginia, Mayor Set Off a 3-Day War Over a Christmas Parade. Yes you guessed it folks. Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin is yet another Democrat screwing with the USA. We hope she gets a lump of coal in her stocking, if she has one.

The first shot was fired in the middle of the afternoon in early October, back when the Appalachian leaves had barely turned orange and store shelves were lined with Halloween candy.

It came in the form of a nondescript event announcement on the city’s official Facebook page.

“The Charleston Winter Parade will begin at the corner of the Kanawha Boulevard and Capitol Street,” the post read.

For years, the city has put on an old-fashioned “Christmas Parade” each December in downtown Charleston. Marching bands, firetrucks, Shriners in their tiny cars and Santa in his red sleigh wind through the city streets with children chasing candy flung from floats decked out in holiday themes. Now, without any notification of a name change, officials were calling it a “Winter Parade.”

Charleston’s 72-hour war on Christmas was on.

Global warming be damned, West Virginia names coal the state rock

It will be a very cold winter without the West Virginia state rock.

President Obama said he wants to bankrupt the coal industry. And coal is one of the great hobgoblins of the global warming fear mongers.

West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, a Democrat, just poked a finger right square in all their eyes by naming bituminous coal the official state rock.

Coal is vitally important to the state’s economy and history. Only Wyoming produces more coal than West Virginia. Coal is a key source of energy to the South and East. And West Virginia gets more electricity from coal than any other state.

According to the West Virginia Gazette, “The resolution notes explorer John Peter Salley found coal near Racine in 1742 and named the Coal River as a result. George Washington observed a Mason County coal fire in 1770, and Conrad Cotts opened the state’s first commercial coal mine near Wheeling in 1810, according to the resolution.”

Henry Kissinger said, “A diamond is just a lump of coal that did well under pressure.”

Looks like West Virginia is doing very well under pressure.
