TEXAS OFFICIAL THREATENS TO SLAP ANYONE WHO SAYS "HAPPY HOLIDAYS"

An elected official in Texas is threatening to slap anyone who wishes him “Happy Holidays” this year. Republican Sid Miller, the state’s agriculture commissioner, said on Facebook that people must say “Merry Christmas” to him or nothing at all. “If one more person says Happy Holidays to me I just might slap them,” Miller wrote. “Either tell me Merry Christmas or just don’t say anything.” When someone asked if he had ever heard of First Amendment rights, Miller replied: “I am quite fond of it. I also like the 2nd. How about you?”
* You get slapped, and then you get to slap him – with a lawsuit.
* Just try it, Mr. Tough Guy. You’ll be spending the holidays in traction.
* And notice I didn’t say Christmas.
* You’ve got to give these politicians some leeway here. If they don’t say something extra nuts, Trump will get all the attention.
* I suppose this doesn’t quite rise to the level of “threatening bodily harm.” Too bad. I think that gets five years in Texas.
* See, Representative Miller celebrates the Christian holiday of Christmas, and what could be more Christian than going around slapping people?
* The worst part? You have to “turn the other cheek” and he gets to slap you again.
* You give a guy a job like state agricultural commissioner and – wham! – the power goes right to his head.
