The ACLU – A Change of Heart or Cowardice

The ANC [American News Commentary] reported in its September 21, 2011 issue that the ACLU is defending the right of Muslims to exercise prayer in public schools in San Diego… Really?

Is that a change of heart or the expression of a cowardly and terrified heart? It is most likely the latter. Let me explain.

Over the last 40 years or so, the ACLU has terrified many school boards, school administrators, and school children by threatening to drag them into court if they pray in public.

A few years ago, they terrified many coaches and sporting event coordinators by warning them that if they dare pray in public, the ACLU would bring about the full weight of their false interpretation of the Establishment Clause.

For many years, they have sent their emissaries across the land, “Gestapo-like,” checking out every small city council, lest they open their meeting with prayer.

But now they are coming out of their closets and are supporting Muslim students praying in public schools.

If you think that this defies every aspect of human logic, you would be right.

Fear is a powerful factor – fear devastates logical thinking, fear decimates consistency and their support for Islamic prayer in public schools in San Diego is a clear indication of that fear. They know all too well what will happen to them if they exercise their clever maneuvers on Muslims. They will not see the love and forgiveness they have received from Christians. Rather, they will see the end of the sword.

Surprise, surprise when Kevin Keenan, the spokesperson for the ACLU in San Diego, explained his enthusiastic support for Muslims praying in public schools, he said: “Performing these prayers is widely recognized as one of the five essential pillars of Islam.” Really?

Have they not heard, do they not know that Christians and Jews are also exhorted to pray?

Have they not heard, do they not know that for Christians, prayer is a life-line to their Savior, the God of the universe?

Have they not heard, do they not know that the prophet Daniel was thrown into the den of lions because he would not stop praying to the God of Heaven?

Have they not heard, do they not know that for Christians prayer is the foremost expression of their desire to commit themselves, their schools, their sporting events, and their public meetings to the Lord God Almighty?

Can one hope that appealing to the ACLU to be fair and just and not single out Christians, who are loving and forgiving, will make a difference? Meanwhile, they cower when it comes to Muslims, who may talk with the sword.

Can one appeal to them to see the light before it is too late for them as “infidels”—the first in line to face the sword under the Sharia?

Can one appeal to them to exercise even the most basic of human logic, let alone review history and truth?

One can hope.

We need to start thinking in terms of 'taking back our culture'. The left controls their useful idiots with 'prizes'... Newspapers compete for 'Pulitzer's ' rather than for the respect and loyalty of their readers. Other groups the same - everyone is working toward winning a liberal 'prize' that only goes to those who move things left.

We need to do the same... offer prizes as incentives to pull our culture back from the brink.

[GOPJ]

So does this mean the Christians also need to join in the action on the side of the ACLU and ask for their right to be allowed to pray in school also.

The ACLU hates Christians more than they hate conservatives... That said, I see your point... might work if they didn't have a double standard... and weren't evil.

[Kaslin]

Well of course. After all the ACLU was founded by a communist. Why would anyone assume it was for civil liberties or the constitution?

[left that other site]

Of course!
They will defend the “rights’ of Illinois nazis to march in Skokie, but not the right a a high school coach to say a prayer before a football game.

If the school district allows koran animals to howl to their moongod

Then a bunch of Christian teachers and students need to hold prayer then.Make the ACLU stop them and then can charge the ACLU with a doable standard in court

[Charlespg]

take more then a day to straiten out the mess the liberals have made
