Staff of the U.S. Interest Section set up a Nativity scene inside the compound of the mission in Havana, December 4, 2003. Christmas Day holiday was banned in 1969 by President Fidel Castro's government and only restored in 1997 on the eve of Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Cuba. The Catholic church said that the government has tolerated Christmas holidays without religious symbols, and no Nativity scenes were to be seen in public except outside the Havana Cathedral and inside the American mission.

Can just see ACLU and the Americans United For Separation of Church and State viewing this and salivating about the next lawsuit they're going to file. SCOTUS gleefully thinking about another nail on the coffin they're going to perform on Christianity.

Soros and another billionaire by the name of Peters, I think, have however donated millions to the ACLU to fight laws that prevent people from buying marijuana legally.
The ACLU is, of course, for sale. The anti-Americans, anti-semitics and anti-Christians use the ACLU as their hired gun.
Tell me again why the ACLU is gets a pass on taxes as a 'non-profit'?

It is basically an informal embassy. The one in Cuba is actually based at Switzerland's embassy. You can visit their website
here.

Dunno but I'm sure ready to write letters to get the "non-profit" status taken away if I knew who to write. Also, isn't the ACLU also on the United Way for receiving funds?
