ACLU wants three councils to change prayers
WISTV ^ | 20 Sep 05 | Bryce Mursch

(Columbia-AP) September 20, 2005 - The American Civil Liberties Union wants three Upstate governments to stop mentioning Jesus Christ in prayers before council meetings. The ACLU has written Anderson and Seneca city councils and Oconee County Council asking them to follow a federal court ruling.

The Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals last year upheld a lower court ruling that prayers before Great Falls Town Council were unconstitutional because they honored one faith over another by mentioning Jesus. The US Supreme Court refused to consider the town's appeal.

Mike Cubelo of the ACLU says the organization will sue if necessary.

Do you get the idea that the ACLU is obsessed with its opposition to religion?

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 (GREATLY ORGANIZED ACTIVIST SITE..PLEASE JOIN) - http://www.stoptheaclu.org


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

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

"I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control of those who produced the wealth: communism is the goal." - Roger Baldwin, ACLU founder, Harvard Reunion Book, 1935


"The establishment of an American Soviet government will involve the confiscation of large landed estates in town and country, and also, the whole body to forests, mineral deposits, lakes, rivers and so on." - William Z. Foster, ACLU co-founder and former chairman, Communist Party USA.

The very name ACLU is a misnomer. If they were really for civil liberties they'd be conservatives.

Try this prayer on for size, ACLU(less):

Back in January, 1996, Pastor Joe Wright, Wichita, KS was asked to open the KS Legislative session with prayer. A number of people expected the usual generalities, asking God to bless the actions, etc. instead this is what they got:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

*We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
*We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
*We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
*We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
*We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.
*We have abused power and called it politics.
*We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
*We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
*We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!"

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "One nation under God." If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends.

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything."

What I get, is that the tolerance for these communist maggots in this country is sickening...

They have gone from a decent organzation that set out to help protect rights, to pushing an biased political ideology.

I was watching a news clip yesterday. Don't know what State, but the story was covering the opening of that State's House of Representatives, and the interest was focused on whether or not the person leading the "Pledge of Allegiance" was going to leave in the phrase "under God."

The person DID include "under God" but I swear that he got it in the wrong order.

He said "One Nation, indivisible, under God." I almost fell out of my chair. Everyone in attendance was pleased, someone gave two "thumbs up". They were SO proud. But they didn't get it right! Geez!

Did anyone else see this?
