Christmas Wars On: Thomas More Law Center Asks Christians to Retake the Public Square for ChristmasNovember 25, 2008
ANN ARBOR, MI — For the last several years, the Thomas More Law Center, a national nonprofit public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has been successfully defending the right of Christians to display nativity scenes on public property and to celebrate Christmas in public schools.
In years past and still today, the Law Center has asked thousands of supporters to go on the offensive – where there has been no nativity display before, ask the government for permission to erect one; where the government has allowed a religious display of another faith, ask that a nativity display be erected on the same property as well; where there is a public forum for the exercise of free speech, ask for permission to erect a nativity display.
Every year the Law Center sends its hundreds of affiliated attorneys across the nation a legal memo on how to deal with the war on Christmas in their area. The Law Center has successfully defended the proper celebration of this national holiday in numerous cases.

It's that time of year again - the War on Christmas by the fanatic and aggressive secularists. Time to plan strategy of how to keep Christ in Christmas and not be afeared of those who hate "the reason for the season".
Read Justice Potter Stewart’s dissenting opinion in the 1962 prayer case. He blisters the majority opinion. He lists quote after quote after quote from former presidents acknowledging God.
This nation died the day that those 5 men in the majority made their opinion. All the incremental evils since that day have been symptomatic of that death.
The suit was over a simple prayer “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country”.
I agree. I was born a year earlier, and the culture continues to erode to the point we’ve reached today where it seems the most important thing in our culture is getting their piece of pie, the next cell phone or video game, etc.
I won’t even go into the overall lack of education since the godless liberal NEA took over our schools like a lethal infection, other than watch Jay Leno’s jaywalker’s one time.
Should I laugh or cry?
