May 27, 200422 yr http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,121039,00.html This is absurdity, seperation of church and state is meant so that govt does not impose any religion on citizens. The cross on that seal does not violate that law and that this is happen is an outrage and it violates first amendment rights of freedom of expression.
May 27, 200422 yr What a joke. It seems that the ACLU wastes more time on petty things like this than actual real problems that they could put their money and resources towards. Like the guy in the article said, nothing like them trying to rewrite history.
May 27, 200422 yr I have really had it with this anti-christian agenda. I mean, people walked around my highschool with bad religion t shirts, showing a cross with a strike through it, and if someone wore a shirt with the same thing but the crescent moon of islam, they probably would have been suspeneded or expelled. I hate double standards.
May 28, 200422 yr The ACLU needs new leadership. :mischief The ACLU needs to go away. They still paint themselves as some rogue defender of liberty, staunchly defending the average schmuck against a totalitarian gov't gone wild, but defending the right to fart in public (or whatever the hell else they are up to nowadays) is hardly the good fight. I also love thier new print ads (seen them in the New Yorker, etc...) They get some flaming liberal actor or celeb to pose for a print ad then they go on and on about the abusive and exploitive gov't. Sigh. Please ACLU, don't go away mad. Just go away.
May 28, 200422 yr Author Totally agreed, newsflash for the ACLU, being anti-abortion or displaying a religious symbol at school on a t-shirt per say, is also included in our civil liberties. Its funny though b/c the ACLU defended Limbaugh's privacy in his drug matter
May 29, 200422 yr Conservatives will be the first to whale about their rights when their own rights get violated. Mr. Poster Boy Rush Limbaugh now critisizes the police for invading his rights and then asks the ACLU to help him. Typical. Youd be the first one demanding your rights be defended if they were encroached upon and the ACLU would be there to help you. But when you dont need them for your self interest, they serve no purpose. The ACLU defended the KKKs right to protest hence showing the right to protest and free speech should not be trampled no matter what the party invoking them.
May 29, 200422 yr The ACLU as a whole does a lot of good things, so you can't judge the entire organization for what is probably a clique of anti-christian lawyers.
May 29, 200422 yr There was a major divide in the ACLU as to whether they should help the Klan. The part that said the bill of rights is most important won out. My buddy that is in the ACLU supported helping Limbaugh.
