Conservative Students to Display “ACLU Nativity Scene”
Stop The ACLU ^ | 30-Nov-06 | John Stephenson

Posted on 11/30/2006 9:08:17 AM PST by Jay777

This is absolutely hillarious!

The Young Conservatives of Texas - University of Texas Chapter announced today that they will be displaying an “ACLU Nativity Scene” on the West Mall of the University of Texas campus on Monday and Tuesday, December 4th and 5th. The group’s intent is to raise awareness on the extremity of the ACLU, and bring to light its secular-progressive efforts to remove Christmas from the public sphere. The display, the first of its kind in the nation, will feature characters that are quite a bit different than the standard crèche.

“We’ve got Gary and Joseph instead of Mary and Joseph in order to symbolize ACLU support for homosexual marriage, and of course there isn’t a Jesus in the manger,” said Chairman Tony McDonald. “The three Wise Men are Lenin, Marx, and Stalin because the founders of the ACLU were strident supporters of Soviet style Communism. The whole scene is a tongue-in-cheek way of showing the many ways that the ACLU and the far left are out of touch with the values of mainstream America.”

The scene will also display a terrorist shepherd and an angel in the form of Nancy Pelosi.

I know they mean well, but to me it seems a little disrespectful to the true meaning.

If the ACLU were to make a Nativity scene it would probably look like this except have an aborted baby in the manger. Sick!

Sounds more like a sicko Planned Parenthood idea. Course the PP pervs would add the figure of a doctor with forceps (for a p/b abortion)......and a suction machine, to complete the tableau.

PP once raffled off an abortion at a fund-raiser.

Seems I've heard that, when it comes to nativity scenes, the ACLU is just jealous, since they don't have three wise men or one virgin in the whole organization.

isn't the University of Texas in the Peoples Republic of Austin?

This would be funny if it wasn't so true. However, I've been a graduate student in the college of engineering for several years and find engineering students are generally much more conservative than the campus as a whole.

The student body is actually not even that bad. We do have some professors who are off the deep end (journalism Prof. Robert Jensen is an example). And the residents of Hyde Park where I live and downtown Austin seem to be either really liberal or socialist. I think most students though just don't pay attention to politics, get through their degree, and get on with life.

I did my undergrad in New York. I never figured that the move from New York to Texas would take me deeper into liberal territory.

As far as UT / Aggie football... I think *in general* UT fans are pretty friendly. I have had nice things said about us for instance by many Ohio State fans who were in town for our game. (Incidental I found the Buckeyes to be very amiable when they were here... it was a real treat to see their cheerleaders at the Posse East, my favorite local bar, right before the game).

However, my sister goes to A&M. I've had the most hateful things said to me by Aggies at games, and even professionally haven't been to impressed with their behavior. I think that it is in bad taste to not refer to my school by name in a professional setting (Aggies refuse to say UT, instead call us TU, or worse) and last time I was introduced in a professional setting to an Aggie (out of school 20 years) his first statement to me: "Are you a queer boy?". The worst though is probably the treating of a friend of mine who is a "1%-er" at A&M. I think A&M is a good school but sometimes when people take the school spirit thing too far I think it also wants to be a cult.

Opps, meant to post my last message to you.

No real offense meant in that post, my younger sister graduates from A&M in two weeks and I couldn't be prouder. I think A&M is a world class school with a great campus. I am involved in several research projects with A&M students and faculty and they are all quite sharp.

I do think however that it would be nice if we could get it back to a "friendly" rivalry between the schools. For instance... all the local austin Aggies with their "better France than TU" during the last national championship. Didn't make a lot of sense to me. All the Aggies I know personally were also cheering for USC 'cause they weren't TU.

If A&M made it instead of us I would have been cheering for them, a fellow *Texas* school, over California any day.

Maybe that is just me being petty.

Texas always has a better ranked team than A&M. Texas plays for championships, while beating Texas is usually all us Ags have to look forward to. I'll root for Texas to beat any team outside the Big 12, especially Bloater Dame.
