ACLU targets Christmas (AGAIN!!!!)

The ACLU is at it again.

With an outrageous boldness that only they could muster, the ACLU has set their sights on Christmas ...

In their never-ending quest to completely eradicate all things religious from public life, the ACLU's latest lawsuit is an all-out frontal attack on the freedom of speech.

Let me ask you - when did a children's Christmas program become illegal? When did the nativity story and Christmas songs become unconstitutional?

Because this is the dangerous charge the ACLU has leveled. A children's Christmas program has been deemed unconstitutional by the ACLU.

I have assembled a senior team of attorneys to work on this case, and I will be going to Tennessee to handle this matter with ACLJ Senior Counsel Larry Crain.

The ACLU is determined to censor Christmas ...

... but make no mistake: this is a case THAT I AM DETERMINED TO WIN.

In Case #3-06-0924, Doe v. Wilson County School System, the ACLU has sued the Wilson County School District, Lakeview Elementary School, the school principal, and two teachers for what they have deemed ''illegal acts.''

The ACLU claims that the plaintiffs ''have been harmed ... injured ... and suffered irreparable damage'' through the ''Christmas program with Christian themes and songs.'' The ACLU is asking that those actions be declared ''unconstitutional and illegal.''

It gets even worse. The ACLU alleges that several KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS role-played a nativity scene of the birth of Jesus - AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO SING ''AWAY IN THE MANGER'' AND ''JOY TO THE WORLD.''

This is the real issue at play: If the ACLU wins here, it will set a precedent across the nation.

Friends, make no mistake about it, the ACLU will not stop with this lawsuit. They will come to YOUR TOWN. They will target YOUR SCHOOL. They will march across this nation, loosening the threads of our religious heritage and chipping away at the foundation of our freedom.

So today, I am launching a nationwide campaign, ''KEEP HIM IN CHRISTMAS.'' The ACLJ will fight for freedom of speech this Christmas ... standing ready to protect YOUR children's and grandchildren's school systems, YOUR dedicated teachers and principals, and YOUR town from this type of blatant, religious censorship from the ACLU.

I will not back down. I will vigorously defend the rights of students to engage in free speech on public school campuses. Please stand with me now in prayer and giving.

Thank you!

The ACLU. The GRINCH continuing to try and steal Christmas.

[gidget7]

We need to pursue an amendment, to reaffirm the first, which allows for the free expression of religion. We also need to stop funding the aclu, and establish a law the courts should not hear these petty cases. Otherwise we will be looking at a muslim nation, and don't doubt it! Schools are teaching muslim prayers, and we now have a congresscritter who wants to take his oath on the koran!

All we have to do is FINE them when they lose. Fine them big bucks for frivolous lawsuits. Make them HURT.

FWIW,

I bought the most religious Christmas cards I could find.

I made up some bright yellow stickers that say, "In God We Trust."

I made up some bright pink stickers that say, "Donation Enclosed."

I bought the Christmas stamp that has the Virgin Mary on it.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I affix the stickers and stamp to one of these cards and mail it to the ACLU's New York City office.

I enclose with the card a $.01 check.

I started doing this on 10/31/06 and will mail the last card 12/19.

Thus far, none of the $.01 checks have cleared the bank :)

If the ACLU claims that someone might, maybe, possibly be offended by Christian activity, that it taken as just as serious as getting a killer off death row. 

If a Christian IS offended by actions hostile to Christian traditions, then that is dismissed by a scoff and a hand wave by the same ACLU.

I noticed that the ACLU isn't offended that some students learn the 5 pillars of Islam in the name of "Cultural Diversity Education" at the tax payer's expense. 

 Now that it is PC.

We need an angel to sue the ACLU into bankruptcy.

That's the spirit! Not a bad way to get in your .02! ;-)

Everybody should send them religious Christmas cards. I think mine will be in a plain envelope.

What is their NY address?

[Joseph DeMaistre]

Nothing like anticlerical bigotry. The ACLU is the Left's equivalent of the KKK. Instead of blacks, they target Christians.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I like your style.

[upchuck]

Thank you!

[Kryptonite]

Thanks. If Christians everywhere send them cards, it will send a strong message. Maybe I'll add a personal note of receiving the Holy Spirit too.

[LiteKeeper]

Are there also state offices? Maybe we should also target our state ACLU offices as well.
