[history]
It is once again holiday season, so the American Civil Liberties Union is back working the courts as the Grinch to steal Christmas.
Not content with dismantling from local public venues warmly evocative and inspiring Nativity scenes, the ACLU is determined to eradicate altogether any public reference to Christmas as an American holiday.

In a sad, sadistic sort of way, it might be interesting if the Muslims ever did take over America.
We could warm ourselves on the bonfires they would make out of ACLU lawyers, gay rights activists, abortion providers, environmental whackos, Feminazis of all ilk, etc.

God Bless America
to Hell with the ACLU

Why don't they change their name, they haven't done anything for civil liberties in living memory.
What they are, is anti-Christian kooks, nuts, and bigots.

Vanity Plate Idea: IH8ACLU
To: FairOpinion
The liberal intellect is incredibly strange and shallow. Earlier this month, I wished a liberal co-worker a "Merry Christmas." She became upset by that. So, I apologized to her for hurting her feelings. I then wished her a "Feliz Navidad." (It is Merry Xmas in spanish.)She was okay with that! So according to mutliculturalist dogma, declaring Merry Christmas in english is hate speech, yet uttering the phrase in spanish is acceptable. Puzzles the mind doesn't it?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year To Everyone!!!

I think MUCH less of Gramm and Armey for joining this outfit. They built fine records of public service but as far as I'm concerned, lending their names to this despicable organization tarnishes that record.
Merry Christmas all and Happy New Year!

It's funny just how selective of which "civil liberties" this group supports...

I think MUCH less of Gramm and Armey for joining this outfit.I know Armey and Bob Barr joined the ACLU. Both should be ashamed of themselves for doing so.

Better they should commit seppuku than continue with this unnatural relationship. Or, was there something about Phil and Bob we didn't know?!?!?!
Does Phil get along well with women? After three divorces he ought to know, eh?!
