0 called spring eggs. easter bunny, spring bunnies. the word easter being phased out. and that's just the beginning. i recently spoke with fox news contributor laura ingraham about the situation. tous from washington fox news am list laura ingraham. one of the reasons these crazy public school districts get away with the spring egg business is that traditional opposition is largely evaporating. or am i wrong, laura? >> i don't know if it's traditionally faithful, that could be traditional jews, traditional christians, i think they understand society has become more secular. a lot of them, i think, are fearful. i think there is a lot of demonization by the secular progressives of christians. i think they feel what ostracized. maybe bill they think there is a new era of persecution that we have never seen in this country before toward traditional faith. ever seen it before that we're beginning to see now. it's coming in different forms. >> bill: they should be outraged then. let me give you my point of view and then you can tell me how wrong i am. east meadow long island, that's where i grew up. that's part of lovitt town that nexus out there. >> sure, i know it well. >> bill: 50 years ago that could have never happened in east meadow. never in a million years. to this deist meadow remains a christian community with a jewish population as well but largely christian. all right? now, the east meadow school fault and here is why. >> they are afraid. traditional people are afraid. >> that's what i said. >> see people like me, like you, all right? other traditional commentators get attacked about the new pope and how secular progressives are already attacking him. >> bill: so if criticism centers on former government in argentina that brutalize the proposition fascist government and on pope francis didn't do enough to stop that and you say? >> well, bill, look. i would have been stunned if the secular progressives had come out just lauding this man for his career of service and his humility and charity. that just wasn't going to happen, right? it's just not going to happen. he is not here to be loved by the secular progressives. so the fact that he is coming out, well, you didn't do enough to unseat the hunta or you didn't do enough to personally come up against, you know, this brutal dictatorship when, in fact, of course a court of law dismissed any charges that he had been an accomplice of some kidnapping of two priests or done enough to help them that was dismissed. and the 1980 nobel peace prize winner perez eskavel said he did not cooperate with the leadership. he stood up against the left left wing guerrillas and the dictatorship when it went wrong. that's the story. >> bill: the sps are down there it trying to dig up anything they can absolutely trying to get him. it's because of abortion and the other social issues. gay marriage that the catholic church opposes is the sp worship. they worship these issues and that's what the tension is. >> here is a good thing about freedom. if we still have freedom in this world and this country. if you don't like the catholic church, you don't have to be part of it. >> bill: look, the "new york times" is the best example of an anti-catholic newspaper because it bleeds over into their sacred causes. and the church opposes it. so they are going to do whatever they can to marginalize the church. >> laura: pope francis and i don't think any of the 115 cardinals who were there at the conclave, they know that you are not going messiah. >> who do you think i am? >> you are the son of god. >> bill: we'll talk to roma [ male announcer ] when you take shortcuts, it shows. we don't run like that. we build john deere equipment the way we always have: the right way. times change. our principles don't. you don't just have our word on it. you've got our name on it. that's how we run. nothing runs like a deere. discover the full line of riding lawn equipment at johndeere.com/howwerun or your local dealer.
