For those who wondered which side the ACLU would take...

Add to that a banquet held last week in honor of Judge George Greer by the Pinellas County, Florida chapter of the ACLU as the judge who permitted the starvation of Terri Schiavo and it's hard to see how the ACLU is anything but friendly to Christian values.

Greer was the same judge who thumbed his nose at the Florida legislature, the governor, Congress and the president for passing legislation to protect Terri, refused to consider massive evidence how she could be rehabilitated, rejected the parents' wishes to take care of her and was unwilling himself to visit her (a right judges customarily take into consideration in their rulings) to ascertain her true condition.

A self-described agnostic lesbian in a wheelchair said earlier this year during protests outside the hospice where Terri was held, that she would rather have a Christian decide her fate than the ACLU. However, Terri, had no such fortune. The civil rights touting ACLU steadfastly refused to consider her civil liberties, the kind found in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S Constitution.

Does the ACLU Really Defend Christians?

Some may wonder which side the New Socialist would take...

In Congress, politicians repeatedly denounced the judiciary for accepting the findings of neurologists and granting Michael Schiavo’s request not to prolong Terri’s life. But the law they passed didn’t stop the courts.

The Christian Right used the Terri Schiavo case to try to convince the population that the legal system is out of control and must be reigned in. The most prized target is the US Supreme Court, which has trimmed women’s right to abortion over the last thirty years without actually banning it. The right feels it has earned the ability to influence public policy, but it does not see its agenda being implemented. This frustration and impatience is hopefully the sign of its coming downfall.

Has the Christian Right overplayed its hand in the Terri Schiavo case?

I think they meant "unfriendly."

I'm sure somewhere on the worldwide web, the aclu has a message board cheering for Charlie Crist. The AARP and the ACLU are a package deal that Floridians will be stuck with if they are stupid enough for support Crist.

ACLU-CRIST, believe it. Crist's closest allies are leftists with marxist leanings.

The ACLU is fighting a cross on private property by a private organization right now. They cannot be for Christians if they are so offended by The Cross and so against the freedom of religion unless they are defending islamo-fascist terrorists.
