RANCHO SANTA FE, CA — For sixteen years atheist, Phillip Paulson, claiming he wants to maintain neutrality between government and religion, has been waging an unrelenting war against the Mt. Soledad Cross that is the centerpiece of the historic Veterans Memorial in San Diego. However, Paulson’s comments on the website of the Atheist Coalition of San Diego reveals his true motivation is hatred for Christianity.
Paulson goes so far as to state; “We need to attack Jesus…” Those comments, followed by vulgar remarks about Christ, God and the Virgin Mary are so crude and offensive that the Thomas More Law Center will not repeat them. However, Richard Thompson, President of the Law Center commented, “These remarks show the plaintiff to be nothing more than a foul-mouthed anti-Christian whose agenda is not to defend the Constitution, but to attack Christianity.”
In the past two weeks, Paulson’s attorney James McElroy has joined his client in making offensive remarks. He recently compared San Diego City Attorney, Michael Aguirre's, retention of Charles LiMandri, a Christian lawyer from the Thomas More Law Center, to represent the City to hiring the Ku Klux Klan to represent the City in a desegregation case.
McElroy has used this highly offensive analogy in his public comments at least three times over a ten-day period. McElroy, who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Southern Poverty Law Center based in Alabama, knows very well just how prejudicial that analogy is to most people. In fact, it was McElroy who previously brought suit in San Diego against Tom Metzger, a convicted white supremacist.
McElroy offended African Americans who attended a September 16, 2005 meeting of the Catfish Club in San Diego when he again likened Aguirre's recent retention of LiMandri, West Coast Regional Director of the Thomas More Law Center, to the hiring of Metzger to represent the City. In fact, LiMandri began his career years ago by working for the San Diego City Attorney's Office and is a Board certified civil trial advocate who has been involved with the case for over a year.
Paulson and McElroy's offensive comments reveal that their motivation has nothing whatsoever to do with their claimed purpose, which is allegedly to maintain "neutrality" between government and religion. Rather, their hate-speech manifests their overt hostility toward religion and their desire to intimidate the opposition into submission. It is now all too clear that Paulson and McElroy are seeking to use the courts to advance their anti-religion agenda, which is strictly forbidden by the Constitution.
“We need to attack Jesus…” >>

> Every knee shall bow
How depressing. Humans reduced to that.
Sad.
Hey, did you hear that Bob Bennett wants to abort all the black babies?
> I can't find the quotes
I went digging through there as well, with simialr results. I have the sneaking suspicion that the "quotes" may well never have been there in the first place.

“We need to attack Jesus…”
Jesus himself said to Saul(later to become the Apostle Paul),
"And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks." Acts 9:5
As many have before him, this man can take his best shot.
As Bennett said: "abort every black baby in this country!"
Context matters, of course.
> The Church's moral code is the foundation our country was built upon.
Ermmmm... a challenge: compare and contrast the "Churchs" (which Church, BTW?) view on having other Gods... and Americas freedom of religion.
later read/ping.
If anyone can find these actual comments by Paulson I'd be grateful. I went to the web site mentioned and Googled it. If those comments were there, they are gone now.
Yes- did hear the original conversation on the Radidio--
Also heard Jesse Jr. claiming Bill Bennett owed America an appology. Have written Jesse Jr. and reminded him that the
Democrats opposed Lincoln, The Democrats began the KKK to
attack Republicans, the Democrats opposed the Civil Rights
act of 1962, and Democratic politicians incorporated the
Confederate flag into many State flags in response to the
Civil Rights movement. And Democrats have made Abortion a litmus test for American Government. It was Margaret Sanger who introduced abortion as a means to limit or destroy the poor blacks in America. I would be in favor of
aborting all babies who would up to serve the ACLU -or as
abortionists but then one would have to extend abortion to
the adult years of these deranged but powerful minority. And
that would be unreasonable and immoral.
And it wasn't Bob Bennett -but his brother Bill.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
> the nation was built upon Judeao-Christian values.
As well as pagan Roman values. And pagan Greek values. And pagan Norse/Teutonic/Anglo/Saxon values. The nation had a very wide and deep foundation.
> Being that most at the time who defined our nation were Christian, their moral beliefs played a great role in defining our nation as a whole.
And while the religious beliefs were largely Christian or some variant thereof, their moral and ethical structure was built upon more than just the one religion.
> The Church, or Christianity as a whole, stands in the way of liberal thought.
A lot of things stand in the way of "liberal thought," including rationalism, objectivism, Darwinism and the basic scientific method. Your religion ain't special.
> it wasn't Bob Bennett -but his brother Bill.
Picky, picky, picky.
"There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions." -GK Chesterton
