Christianity Attacked By ACLU Terrorists
By Thomas D. Segel (12/24/04)
The cross was used by those who hated Christianity, first to kill Jesus and then in an attempt to kill the faith. Today, the symbol of that same cross is so feared in secular society that their own personal terrorist has been sent to rip it away from the followers of Christ.
This terrorist has a name and it is The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Rooted in hate and communist philosophy, it moves in the manner of other perverse and despicable bodies, cloaking itself in constitutional phraseology and the American Flag. In reality, it remains faithful to seeking the destruction of all American principals.
Though it is bankrolled with an annual budget in excess of 100 million dollars, the ACLU seldom attacks any entity with major influence and political power. Instead it wages warfare on small towns, cities of little wealth, school districts and non-profit organizations. It attacks them by litigation and threats of litigation, often winning unwarranted settlements from public officials and organizations afraid of extensive court battles.
The ACLU filed suit against a Pittsburgh school district to ban the reference of Adam and Eve in a biology class.
In Pennsylvania a suit was filed to stop the teaching of “Intelligent Design”, which points out that both evolution and creationism remain theories. Another Pennsylvania school district found itself in court when the ACLU filed against it for requiring students to learn more about the origination of mankind than just the Theory of Evolution.
Barrow County Florida was but one of more than 25 lawsuits filed by the ACLU to remove the Ten Commandants from public facilities.
Litigation filed by the ACLU is pending in Kent County, Michigan against a charter school that allowed prayer and taught creationism. At the same time in Elizabeth Colorado the Elbert County Charter School faces a suit demanding that all references to Christmas be removed from school functions.
Out in the Mojave Desert of California the ACLU attempted litigation to remove a memorial cross from government land, where it had stood since 1934.
The ACLU brought the superintendent of the Baldwin, Kansas school district into court because he allowed a minister to explain the historical significance of Christmas to an elementary school class.
Notice the pattern of these cases…all are in arenas where it is difficult for those charged to defend their positions. By the sheer power of having multi-million dollar resources at its disposal, the Anti Christian Liberties Union, as many religious groups call it, intimidates its foes and forces capitulation.
Absent from the ACLU’s extended list of attacks on Christianity, are any attempts to take on those who might happen to have a stronger punch. For example, military bases are all government property. They also have chapels, chaplains, assorted religious artifacts, and often display a variety of religious symbols. We don’t read about the ACLU going after the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines.
It is said that the White House has a number of Christmas Trees, and the First Family sent out thousands upon thousands of Christmas Cards containing quotations from the Bible. Have there been any lawsuits filed by the ACLU against President Bush?
I don’t recall that leftist organization taking on Congress for having a chaplain or holding opening prayer. I don’t remember the so-called “Liberties” crowd taking on the Supreme Court for its display of God’s Word. I didn’t see the ACLU go after the Treasury Department because “In God We Trust” remains on our money.
No, they work a lot like the terrorists we are fighting all around the world. They attack those who seem too weak to fight and those without enough courage to stand up for what they believe.
Sadly, those same government bodies and individuals being crushed by these terror attacks could be reaching out to other organizations dedicated to fighting the despicable acts perpetrated by the ACLU. The Alliance Defense Fund, the Liberty Counsel, the American Center For Law and Justice, the Rutherford Institute and the Thomas More Law Center have all taken up the mantle against the ACLU. If they hear about attacks on Christianity, they are more than willing to join the fight. Maybe more of those being attacked should put out the call for reinforcements.
