The ACLU is a Communist fascist organization that must be stopped. Write your elected representatives and demand that the ACLU not be allowed to use your tax money to destroy the country.

Some of these rabbis are of the belief that there's such a thing as "word magic". That's why they don't want you praying outside of their zone of control. Lord only knows what you would say and what might happen.
It's total superstition without any Biblical support, but they believe in the doctrine enough that they think it's fair to use the federal courts to shut down all other religions.



Either I'm plum stupid tonight OR you have totally lost me.

I found an interesting quote from Charley Reese:

"The important thing to remember is that the word is not the thing itself. People who confuse words with reality are said to suffer from a belief in word magic."

It does appear that the ACLU-niks have gone off the deep end. Whenever they ban the Ten Commandments it is as if they think they have kept Moses from coming down from the mountain. Whenever they censor any mention of "Chiristmas," they are in such a self-satisfied frenzy that it is as if they have bannished Christ.

Is this a comment on the article? And what in the world is "word magic"? I don't get it.

Is he still alive? I haven't heard a thing about him in years.

. . .I happen to know the background and mindset of many of those behind these lawsuits. As secularists they abhor genuine convictions of Faith and cannot abide its challenge to their own irreligiousity. They fear it - especially the powerful Christian variant - for it bespeaks of their own rootlessness and lack of religious belief. Thus their need to destroy it. Some are, sadly, simply anti-Christian - a bigotry acceptable among today's cultural elitists; some are envious and do what envious people often do: crush the object of their jealousy.
