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!
Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel
Hasnt someone said that RICO could be invoked against the ACLU ???
Its still a Civil Rights issue though...
Yep, check here:

Jay, if I may, I would change "all things religious" to "all things Jewish and/or Christian". They don't fear anything else. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, now why do you suppose that is?
We can't edit posts. The system does not allow it.
If they are offended, look away. So much stuff offends me and nobody gives a rip. Yes, I can change the channel, not go to the movies, not eat exotic foods, not listen to Nancy Pelosi screetch, and on and on and on.....it works.
I was surprised to see Charlie Brown's Christmas special on ABC this evening. And Christ wasn't even bleeped out!
Didn't know that. Thanks for pulling the reply with the wrong address.
Corrected address:

Thanks for the link. Sent them a merry christmas note from Chuck U. Farley...
I sent them a message.....not that they'll care. i did manage to stay calm ....
Asked them what are they gonna do when the vacuum of beliefs they create here in the US is filled by Shira law...
I recently read about the Jew who was raised by hippies...no beliefs..everything is ok...who gravitated to Islam and then eventually left it. He now helps the government to understand radical Islam. He blamed being brought up without defined beliefs and said that he shared that with the other two well known Americans who ended up Islamic. Now he is a Christian - thanks to his wife.
Very nice! Looks like Christ in Christmas is going to be a constant battle from now on.
It's bigger than just Christmas, I'm afraid.
The ACLU appears to be out to steal our entire culture.
Christmas, religion, Boy Scouts, Family, our defense against terrorists, our social fabric.
Our arguments really need to go beyond defending Christmas...we must consistently and continually question the ACLU's uber alles motives.
When we present the ACLU's America-hating activities as a collection of many different culture thefts, then folks might add things up and be genuinely afraid.
Bill O calls the ACLU the most dangerous organization in our country, and on this, I agree with him.
They get taxpayer money to do this sort of stuff. the more they do, the more cash they get. Sick, huh?
What can we do to help?
Also, have yall considered going after the ACLU under the RICO statutes?
We all pay them to destroy our country? How does this work?
try googling 'aclu taxpayer funding' for more info.
There is a bill right now in Congress ready to be passed that will take away all monies from the ACLU. But no matter what they, (the ACLU and others) do, they can not stop the will of GOD. They may stop it on public property and a few businesses but they won't stop it. Before America was even a word Christians and Jews have been put to death for their beliefs and yet we are still here and we will still be here long after their ideology is long gone.
Not true.
I see no attacks by the ACLU on Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism or any other religion - Except Christianity.
