Lowe's employee says she was fired over Christmas pin

The Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee are not where I have found political correctness ... Christmas is celebrated by most in the mountains around Newport, TN.

Check out this story by a woman who said her, "It's CHRISTmas for Christ's sake" pin, given to her by a customer when she admired it, got her fired by Lowe's Home Improvement management.

WATE TV-6 out of Knoxville, TN, has the story of what happened when Kristie Sutton was asked to remove the pin:

Sutton says she didn't remove it immediately. Instead, she pleaded her case to the human resources manager.

"I asked him why they could sell Christmas products, sell nativity scenes," she said, "but I couldn't wear a Christian pin?"

Sutton says she was told because of store policy, no one would be allowed to wear a pin supporting a religion.

Video of the interview as well as the transcript are on the WATE site.

Lowes, Home Depot ... and Fox News

The politics of intimidation continues in the liberal camp. After reading for the second time on a lib blog (RK) that Lowe's Home Improvement had pulled ads from Fox News -- and the libs were urging their minions to contact Home Depot to do the same -- I decided to find out if it was true.

It's only partially true.

RK's blog said, "With word that Home Depot is following Lowe's in pulling ads from Fox News, the pressure is working."

I called Lowe's corporate office in Wilkesboro, NC, where I was told Lowe's ads had been removed from the O'Reilly "Factor" program but they had not been pulled from any other Fox News shows. I expressed my disappointment. It takes two minutes to contact and add your voice to those who disagree with Lowe's decision: 1-800-445-6937 or go to website to send an email.

I then called Home Depot's corporate office in Atlanta and received contact information for those who would like to urge them to continue advertising on Fox News. Another two minutes to ask they not pull ads: 1-800-654-0688 or (770) 384-4646 or email.

Please counter the libs' politics of intimidation.
