Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Article One of the Bill of Rights
I'm sure everyone recognizes this as the first amendment of the Constitution. Many have interpreted this to mean "separation of Church and State". But nowhere in this amendment are the words "church", or "state" to be found. However there is a statement there that protects us from Congress prohibiting the free exercise of our religion.
The ACLU, under the guise of defending civil liberties, has used the faulty interpretation of Church and State separation, to undermine many of our nation's Christian expressions. Among some of the ACLU's victories are cases involving the defense of Communists, anarchists, Ku Klux Klansmen, and those who tried to overthrow American government. Recently, the ACLU attacked the city of Redlands, California for displaying a small cross in their city''s seal.
I am confident that many out there would love to do their part in defending religious expression, but unfortunately they feel powerless

I added:
Christian Phobia as a key word to this article.
We need to make Christian Phobia part of our lexicon.
Christian Phobia is a mental disorder that most leftists, all ACLUers and the Islamofacists suffer from.
We need to drive home this mental disorder, Christian Phobia, whenever we discuss the lunatic lefties.

If enough of us around the country start using Christian Phobia when we deal with the ACLU, lunatic libs and Islamofascists, it will become part of the lexicon.

Thanks for the ping, and Jay, for the article. Got it bookmarked. I kind of like "theophobia" too.
