The ACLU and What War on Christmas?
Capitol Hill Journal ^ | Dec. 14, 2005 | Michael Bates

Posted on 12/14/2005 8:49:20 AM PST by WatchYourself

Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein also finds no indication there’s any antagonism directed at the day on which we commemorate the birth of Christ. Although he does admit: “We Jews find it a little embarrassing that adults can still make such a big fuss over Christmas. To us, Jesus was just a cool guy everyone liked because he died young.”

The Indiana American Civil Liberties Union Web site currently lists an article authored by the organization’s executive director explaining “How the ACLU Didn’t Steal Christmas.”

In it, he claims there’s “a well-organized attempt by extremist groups to demonize the ACLU, crush religious diversity, and make a few bucks in the process.” On the Illinois ACLU’s Web site, it’s noted: “this office has not brought legal action against a Chicago-area school district for a holiday celebration in many years. . .”

So that pretty well settles it. There is no war on Christmas. And even if there were, the ACLU wasn’t part of it.

The ACLU is the most dangerous organization in this country, IMHO. It should be dissolved for its anti-American hate activities. It now lives ONLY to destroy American heritage and participate in the deconstruction of America and our Constitution.

Totally subversive.

In keeping with the Christmas season, the ACLU has released its alert system to all their fellow anti-Christian zealots...

No kidding. Only those Leftist lugnuts think the Boy Scouts of America are a greater threat to society than NAMBLA.

Yup! Flogging and crucifixion = Real cool! Guessing Joel Stein did not attend a showing of The Passion of the Christ . Someone should remind him that Jesus 'died young' for him, as well.

Catholic Ping - Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list

How about a picture looking down the barrel through the sights of a handgun pointed at the ACLU?

Not quite. The Democratic party includes the ACLU types, but it adds to them the PETA nuts, the queers, Michael Moore, John Kerry,the feminists, and a bunch of other crazies. It also has more money, power, and infulence.

“this office has not brought legal action against a Chicago-area school district for a holiday celebration in many years. . .”

Translation: they all got the message years ago - honor Christmas, get a lawsuit...

The ACLU is the Spawn of Satan.

Joel Stein sounds like he can't find his way to the bathroom.

“We Jews find it a little embarrassing that adults can still make such a big fuss over Christmas. To us, Jesus was just a cool guy everyone liked because he died young.”

I respect and admire Orthodox Jewish -the secular Jewish are liberal and morally depraved -knowing that there is a difference and recognizing it is important to do as the MSM attempts to paint all the Jewish with a broad brush whenever they are pushing this or that liberal leftist cause or agenda...
