Its that time of the year again. The time when the intolerant grinches like the ACLU start trying to fill their stockings with your tax dollars in their attempts to secularize Christmas. The ACLU try their best to deny their attacks on Christmas. They call those defending Christmas the well organized extremists out to make a buck in the guise of defending Christmas. This is of course false. The Alliance Defense Fund, just like last year, are offering their services to defend Christmas completely FREE!
However, the lies continue again this year as the ACLU denies their attacks on Christmas. However, their actions speak louder than their words.
Already the ACLU have began their attacks. They have already been successful in bullying the Berkley City Council into moving their Christmas nativity scene off public property. This, despite the fact that the display also included other religious and secular elements including a Star of David, Christmas trees, a Santa Claus figure, a Santa’s Mailbox, and a “Seasons Greetings†sign.
In their latest attempt to censor Christmas they have sued the Wilson County School System outside of Nashville, TN. because their Christmas program includes "Christian themes and songs."
The plaintiffs and the ACLU allege that several kindergarten students role-played a nativity scene of the birth of Jesus—and had the audacity to sing “Away in the Manger†and “Joy to the World.†According to the ACLU, these songs are exclusively Christian in nature because they celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and are, therefore, inappropriate.
The ACLJ is defending the school in this case.
The ADF has a long list of attacks on Christmas from the ACLU and its allies dating back from 2002 to the present.
Yes, its that time of the year again. The season that I get bombarded with emails encouraging people to waste their money on a stamp for a Christmas card wishing the ACLU a merry Christmas. Don't get me wrong. I understand the sentitment behind the whole thing. I was all on board last year. If you really want them to have a Merry Christmas, or just feel like throwing your money away I won't discourage it. It will be about as effective as barking at the moon. Your Christmas cheer will be tossed in the mail room shredder and never reach any those you intended to send a message to.
I propose that your money could be spent in a much more efficient manner. Save the money you would throw away on the stamp for a message destined to fall on deaf ears. There are many organizations out there fighting to protect Christmas and the expression of its true meaning. Why not take the money you would be throwing away on a noble yet ineffective gesture, and put it to real use as a gift to the organization of your choice that is out there fighting the ACLU?

Our great nation was founded by a majority of Christians who wrote a requirement for tolerance of other beliefs into the Bill of Rights. However, some intolerant members of the Supreme Court have butchered the First Amendment with the urging of an intolerant ACLU, and our nation is poorer for their efforts.
Oh, and a Merry Christmas to you and to all at Gather as we once again celebrate the birth of Christ.
I gotta call Bill O'Reilly and see if I can get something done about this.
GET OVER IT. Nobody is telling you that you cant go to church. Nobody is saying you cant pray in public. Although christians used to burn people at the stake who didn't worship as they saw fit; karma has not reached you yet. Youre still safe to hold any sort of intolerant, bigoted, ridicuously-believing-that-the-earth-is-only-a-thousand-years-old beliefs you may choose.
Happy freakin' Kwaanza.
Can't we please step down off our high horses and get real. This country was founded by a bunch of lying, murdering, land grabbers; let's stop pretending that they were a bunch of quasi-angels. They were not; they were duplicitous. Ask the natives that befriended them. Them were hypocrites and philanderers; Sally Hemings' grandchildren are living proof.
Perhaps if we would take an honest look at where we've come from, we could muster an honest assessment of who we are.
It's a pretty in your face indictment, that one segment of our society had to invent a holiday (Kwaanza) because mainstream celebrations didn't/don't speak to their need or experience. I don't understand how any fo us can celebrate this season of love in the mist of a this rising, unchecked flood of hate.
And yes, hate dressed in Christmas colors is exactly the same as hate couched in ACLU retoric.
The government wanted his doctor's papers to see if it was a drug induced ailment. The ACLU (who he loved to lambast on his radio show) jumped in and protected his right to privacy. Not a modern fable.
Joe, I have been to a number of school assemblies myself. Actually, a lot of them were before the ACLU got their nose into them. We had prayer before our classes began in the sixties, not once did the name of Jesus Christ come into the prayers. Some of the prayers were spoken by Christians, sometimes by Jews. Those days we didn't have school fights or shootings, or violence in the classrooms against the teachers. I can't see what is so awful about prayer in schools with God being recognized as the greater power. And, Christmas is about rebirth, the promise of God giving all of us life after death. No matter how much the ACLU hates Christmas, it's coming and no person or group can stop it. As a Christian, I don't grab people on the street or in the grocery store to convert them, most Christians don't, so don't even think of accusing me of that here. You can believe what you want, just let me and the vast majority of others out here in the country believe what we want. So, if you are offended by someone's beliefs being different than your own, then you just need to get over it. And, I'm very weary of people talking about our nation in terms of disgust over who established it. I, for one, am very thankful they did so I and my family can live in freedom to accomplish OUR goals and not those of the government.
If you think prayer in school was the prevention of those things you mention, you are naive. No one is stopping you from believing anything, or practicing anything, as long as it isn't on government property. No one is disparaging the founders of our nation, in fact we applaud them for their forsight in separating church and state. What we are opposing is the attempts of Christian right forces to make their religion the state religion, which it most definitely is not, even though the vast majority of Americans say they are Christians. The Bill of Rights was never meant to be a protection for the many, against the few, but rather the few against the many.
When it comes to helping the poor and downtrodden; the government should just stay out of it. Welfare programs and minimun wage are tantamount to government meddling.
But when it comes to morality; the government needs to impose values on the people through legislation and court rulings.
Assisting the poor: advocate smaller government.
Imposing "values": advocate bigger government. As well as for sufficient spying programs to curtail the First Amendment.
