ACLU

Anti Christian Liberals United is a fit.

 

If the ACLU is anti-Christian than why do they frequently defend their rights in appropriate settings?

 

Who is the ACLU to define what is appropriate?

 

I've never heard of a case where the aclu defended a Christian organization. I know they have filed friend of the court briefs from time to time, but can you point to a case where they actually defended a Christian in a civil rights case?

 

They don't. What's appropriate is defined by the constitution. You know the ACLU defended Russ Limbaugh, right? I don't think anyone here would call him a pinko, communist, radical liberal Democrat.

 

The ACLU is made up of hundreds or thousands of lawyers. The fact that one or two goofed up and defended Rush doesn't make them fair or constitutional. They're the worse kind of lawyer, one that takes the constitution and twists it around to fit their agenda. They're now using it to perge America of Christianity.

 

Also, their defense of Rush has given them real creadence among us nominal Christians. A real coup.

I hope one day a smart lawyer figures out how to charge the ACLU and those of like colors with Un-American Activities. Maybe it won't wash, but that'll kinda open the flood gates.

 

I think if you looked real close you will find that the issues they were working with served the ACLU's purposes. They only take a case when it will further one of there cause, it is never about the defendant.

Worthless conjecture; just what we need more of

 

Do you really have to act disrespectful and childish? We are allowed to say what we think. I have been reading about the aclu for years and listened to many Christians, more credentialed than yourself, give commentary on the organization. I guess we can't let sleeping dogs lie, can we?
