My Letter To The ACLU

Congratulations, comrades! You've won again! Removing Judge Roy Moore’s Ten Commandments monument from the State Courthouse in Alabama was nice, but it was only the first step in a logical, necessary progression to eliminate the influence of God from all vestiges of American society! Your work is far from over! The next step is to remove the words "In God We Trust" from our currency, so not to “offend” the atheists worried the phrase is an "establishment of religion."

Then you must work to remove the 10 Commandments etched in marble above the Supreme Court's bench. Fear not, my brothers and sisters, you have 5 or 6 fellow travelers, I mean, judges (ahem!) on that court (including one former fellow ACLU director) who are more than sympathetic to your cause.

After that victory, you must continue the struggle! Don't rest on your laurels; there is more work to be done! Think of all the federal monuments, statues, landmarks, and memorials all across the fruited plain that mention God--they must be removed. Some can be "repaired" by jackhammering or covering the “offensive” speech. Other, more politically incorrect examples (To be determined by those with similar politics to yours, of course) can be removed altogether!

You can expect some resistance, but don't fear! Those Christians have no staying power, and they will fold like cheap tents when you scream "Intolerant!" "bigot!" "homophobe!"... and all the other words you learned in your university/law school training. And I know some of you may be asking yourself "Aren't the 10 Commandments the fundamental basis of the Jewish religion as well?" That may be true, but you can easily defuse that situation by bringing up the upcoming Mel Gibson movie, even though it hasn’t come out yet. Remember, the ends justify the means. You cannot allow the Jews and Christians to unite on this issue--keep them separated by scare tactics, stereotypes, and visions of "bible-thumping," "fire and brimstone" backwoods preachers. Our friends in the media will help you here.

The next logical steps would be to bar churches from providing "Sunday school" sessions in public school buildings, and to end the US Postal Service's shameful practice of offering Christmas-themed stamps. If you really want a challenge, work on covering up or breaking off the crosses in our national cemeteries.

Your friends in elementary and secondary schools and state-run universities will become more determined than ever to further the already invaluable progress they have made in secularizing the legions of dumbed-down children entrusted to them. They will continue to neglect teaching our nation’s history, traditions, concepts, and origins—and how God played a central role in each of those cases. When our children fail to learn the past, they fail to correctly judge the future.

You may think this would be the moment to pop open those champagne bottles, but wait! Put down that bottle opener. You haven't even scratched the surface!

The next step is to remove Christianity from the PRIVATE sector! Just think...the possibilities are endless! Get creative!

After chiseling religious scripture and symbols from church buildings, (sparing the eyes of those looking for every opportunity to be offended) after pressuring jewelry retailers from offering crosses and crucifixes in their catalogs, (relegating such offensive items to be special ordered, or kept wrapped up in the back of the store, to “protect” the “innocent” shopper) you can then ban outdoor nativity scenes from businesses and homes.

While it is true that Dennis Miller was correct in saying that although those of you in the ACLU are against citizens and organizations from constructing nativity scenes, but are for the right of a drunk pervert to stumble into one and have sex with the sheep, so what? The people must be made to understand that we, as humans, possess ‘diverse’ sexual persuasions. That’s why you support NAMBLA and child pornography in public libraries!

Boycotting candy makers and greeting card companies that make Christmas and Easter-themed products would help, too. Our friends in Hollywood would get the message--No more Christmas and Easter specials! Expect some religious groups and concerned citizens to fight back. Fine, bring ‘em on! They have jobs, families, sports, American Idol and their own complacency to deal with!

That’s when you take the final step, move in for the kill, and use our friends in the courts to abolish religion altogether and make America secular and socialist—The way the ACLU founder, and communist, Roger Baldwin would have wanted it!

For example, we can “prove” in courts of law that the Bible is “hate speech!” and “offensive” to certain groups. This argument has already seen success in Europe and Canada. Why not here?

The belief in God is dangerous. It goes against everything a good socialist and/or atheist lives and breathes for. A good socialist and/or atheist does not believe in God In The Highest. A good socialist and/or atheist believes man, (specifically, the State) is the highest power. Separating God from our laws is an important first step on the road to an all-powerful, all-encompassing State. Just call yourselves “patriots,” wrap yourselves in the flag, and you’ll be fine. Heed the words of your founder:

"Do steer away from making it [the ACLU] look like a socialist enterprise. We want to look like patriots in every thing we do. We want to get a lot of flags, talk a good deal about the Constitution and what our forefathers wanted to make of the country and show we are really the folks that stand by the spirit of our institutions."

Day by day, bit by bit, stone tablet by stone tablet, you “patriots” get closer to living your dream. Pardon the pun, but I wish you…Godspeed!

I received this e-mail today from a friend:

Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America if we
continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other
countries that came to live in America because it is the Country of
Choice??????

Think about it . . .

All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? I
celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we
can no longer say Merry

Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings. It's not Christmas
vacation,
it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS
occurs
over
the Christmas holiday? We've gone so far the other way, bent over
backwards
to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that
no
one
has a problem with that.

This says it all!

This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a
Tampa newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some

individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11,
we have experienced a surge

in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the

attacks had

barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining
about
the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone
who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is
almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there
are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and

apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America
being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our
sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own
culture, our

own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has
been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by
millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part
of our society, learn the language!

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian,
right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian
men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this
is clearly documented.

It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.

If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the
world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you

should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We
are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really

don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR
COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every
citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every
opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and
griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of
life, I highly encourage you take
advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it!
