ACLU Wants School Bus to Stop Driving by so Many Churches
MARSHALL, TX – The ACLU has learned a school bus that transports children to and from Marshall Elementary School passes 8 local churches per trip. “That’s too many,” said ACLU spokesperson Pete Peters. “Those churches expose children to crosses and catchy little religious phrases, things that kids should not be exposed to while being driven by governmental busses.”
The Republican led city council says that it would be a logistical nightmare for the bus to avoid the institutions of religion. “The bus would have to start its route an hour early and the kids wouldn’t get home until an hour later,” says City Councilman, Jeff Todd. But Mr. Peters insists he’s worked out the details. “I planned it out on Yahoo! Maps this morning,” he said. “When the bus is on Main Street, instead of turning left on 3rd Avenue, it should take a right on Austin Street, a left on Magnolia Street, a left on Pine Lane, drive through the Wendy’s parking lot, drive across Crazy Jeb Bellows ranch, make a U-turn over the center divider on Perkins Street and BAM, you’ve got a bus route that gets everyone to school and doesn’t compromise anyone’s civil liberties.”
I can't even tell whether this is satire or not.
Welcome to Free Republic.
the scary thing is...I actually believed this before reading the other articles on the site. Nothing would surprise me these days.
I can't wait to see the reactions from those among us who can't click on the link before replying
I have an idea - every time the ACLU or any wacko group comes up with these ideas, a major media outlet should contact Hillary "the Centrist" and ask her if she agrees. These groups support Hillary, so should should have to comment on their nutjob actions and ideas.
Oh wait, I just woke up from a dream. This will never happen.
Don Pardo, tell GianniV what he's won for missing the fact that this is satire.
If I am not mistaken and if my memory is not failing me, the ACLU has in the past filed suit over religious ornamentation and displays on private property.
Let's just nail a cross to ACLU headquarters and force its employees to look at it on the way to work every morning. Maybe the Christophobe God haters will stay home.
Sooner or later they will have to be "terminated" accordingly.
It's a parody, folks. Please go to the original source first before joining in the hysteria.
Who is Pete Peters? Do you have a photo? Can you get a photo?
Where does he maintain an office?
Where does he live?
What is his telephone number?
Is he married? who is his wife? do you have her picture?
Who are his children?
Who is his mother? his Father? address, phone number?
Are they employed?
Some mail, some phone calls, an internet posting or two might begin a process of civil intimidation. Usually the ACLU types try to remain faceless. That situation should end.
The ACLU's been so aggressive lately that this was actually a very believable post....
We probably have a ACLU thug here pretending to be a conservative making this post to elicit potential ammo for the ACLU.
Pete Peters is an avowed white racist who hates minorities, Jews, homosexuals and anyone else he might decide on: "Pete Peters, the Colorado-based racist who frequents Aryan Nations functions, Eustace Mullins and Col. Jack Mohr."
Hope American Center for Law and Justice Jay Sekulow gets notified (aclj.org), the only organization that kicks ACLU's butt big time.
Sorry, so it on the original site which was obviously satire, so I didn't even think to label it as such.
I guess by itself, it sadly is believable.
Trouble is, this hews a little too close to the actual reality endorsed by the hateful, spiral-eyed anti-religious, anti-American fanatics that comprise the ACLU.
Sure, and I bet the next thing you're going to tell me is that President Bush has declared the states that didn't vote for him to be the new "Axis of Evil".
g,
You're thinking of:
"ACLU Defends Nazis' Right to Burn Down ACLU Headquarters" , an Onion story from a few years back.
