You're missing the point! He DID break the ordinances I am sure.

The point is that no one is defending him, becuase he is a Christian. Does that mean Bedford is anti-Christian? No. If the sign said "gay" the ACLU would take the case. If the sign broke the ordinances, regardless of it saying "gay", the city council would ask for it to be removed. Would the city council be anti-gay? No. The article and I do not believe anyone is anti-Christian...accept the ACLU. The ACLU always takes these cases...unless it involves Christ...then it's "freedom of speech has time, place and manner restrictions." Yeah, right.

"Bush is Hitler", etc. I don't see any time, place, and manner restrictions on that.

I have my own issues with the ACLU, and you may be right about them. Why anyone even went to the ACLU (or why the ACLU took the time to chime in) is beyond me.

I know this may not be what you are looking for, but the reason no one is defending this guy could likely be that HE IS IN THE WRONG.

How can you predict what the ACLU would or wouldn't do in a different situation? The fact is, they have offered to defend Jerry Falwell in the past, and they have defended other Christian cases.
