The ACLU and all deChristianizers can think they are coming mighty close to achieving their goal of a secular society, but it will be an empty accomplishment. Reminds me of that song from the movie "Yentl".
There are certain things that once you have
No man can rake away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away-

I sometimes wonder: who really won the 2004 election? The GOP? Or the lawyers?

I wish "Merry Christmas" to everyone, store clerks, the guys that trim the hedges and work on my boat and auto mechanics; even a couple of Jewish friends of ours. We have not seen or heard ANY negativity from ANYone! Further, most offer their handshake, and/or embrace us!

Let us not surrender to the religious Nazis unless they're Islamic suicide terrorist fukcs. Then it's time to load up the Glocks.

last year she wound up with a Hannukah song, this year she's landed some Hispanic thing; next year, no doubt, a traditional Hutu disembowelling chant. It would be offensive to inflict Deck the Halls or God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen on any hypothetical Hutu in attendance, but it's not offensive to inflict hot Hutu hits on bewildered moppets.

He's in rare form on this one. The Hutu disemboweling chant sounds like it's going to be real painful for those bewildered moppets. LOL

During President Bushes last year in office, he really ought to award a Medal Of Freedom to Mark Steyn.

The man is a national treasure. The fact that it would make liberals apoplectic is just a bonus.

I'm wondering,  are the Gaia worshipping loony left going to protest and demand that "Christmas Island", NS. be renamed?
I can't help but notice, that this year, alot of Christians have been standing firm and not allowing the anti-Christ people to further degrade our Christian rights to celebrate the birth of our savior in places all over North America.  I hope this trend grows, and drowns out the hatred spewed from Satans sinners mouths for years to come.
 
Merry Christmas to you all, and may God protect you and give you strength through these difficult times.
They may destroy our churches, but the foundation of the church of Christ is in each and every Christian's heart. That can NEVER be destroyed.

You can join the fight against the ACLU and their ilk by becoming involved with and supporting the following organizations:

Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) - http://www.alliancedefensefund.org

Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) - http://www.thomasmore.org

American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) - http://www.aclj.org

The Rutherford Institute - http://www.rutherford.org/

Stop the ACLU Coalition - http://www.stoptheaclu.org


Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:

ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas

ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits

ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd

Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit


Additional information:

The ACLU must be destroyed: Joseph Farah supports Boy Scouts, urges Americans to fight back

Citizens mobilized to stop ACLU (seeks to consign group to 'ash heap of history')

ACLU fulfilling communist agenda

Revealing FACTS on the ACLU from its own writings

See how YOUR Senator or Representative ranks with the ACLU

In Plano, Texas, in the heart of God-fearin' Bush country, parents were instructed not to bring red and green plates and napkins for the school's "winter" parties, as red and green are colours with strong Christmas connotations and thus culturally oppressive.

So, what are they gonna do if the parents bring red and green plates?? Have them arrested??

~ MERRY CHRISTMAS! ~

I do the same! If a store clerk says "Happy Holidays", I give them a big smile and say "Merry Christmas!"
