TVC ASKS PATAKI TO STOP HARASSMENT
June 21, 2006 - Washington, DC – The Traditional Values Coalition asked New York Governor George Pataki to rein in a state agency which is threatening legal action against an Accord, New York skating rink because it plays Christian music during a “Christian Music Skate” party.
The New York Division of Human Rights threatened Len and Terry Bernardo, owners of the Skate Time 209 rink in Accord, with an investigation because the rink plays Christian music during certain hours. The agency also threatened to charge a local newspaper which advertised the event for “aiding and abetting” unlawful discrimination.
“This is crazy,” said TVC Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon. “These people are exercising basic Constitutional rights on private property to the exclusion of no one and the state government is treating them like dangerous criminals.
“Aiding and abetting? It is the responsibility of every citizen to aid and abet the free exercise of religion, free speech, the right to assemble and private property rights.
“New Yorkers have never been intimidated by international thugs and terrorists and they should not tolerate this bureaucratic attempt to violate their most basic civil rights.
“I have asked Governor Pataki to take authority over this illegal attempt to manipulate the law to accomplish a violation of basic civil rights. I will be watching closely to see that the Bernardos’ rights are protected.”
We have Christian "Rock and Bowl" at many of the popular bowling lanes here in Southern Calif. It's a great outreach to kids and can also be a fundraiser for your church.
This will not be a problem at the Episcopal Church nor at the Presbyterian Church USA.
Upstate needs its own state.
"Perhaps the NY liberals are afraid they will burst into flames if they hear Christian music.
Also afraid of crosses, garlic, and holy water, I believe"
Then they must, I say they MUST play "Onward Christian Soldier" loud and clear, every hour, on the hour.
That's getting pretty close to making Christianity illegal.
So if I hate Country music, and they have a "country music skate" does that mean I am being discriminated against? Hey, if I hate secular music and they play it 6 out of 7 days of the week, I, as a Christian music fan, am experiencing discrimination, right? Who do I sue?! I want names!!! /sarcasm
Liberals never cease to amaze amuse ME!! They are aborting themselves out of existence throughout the world and going against the tide of history. Check the number of Christians worldwide. The numbers are growing especially wherever the Church is persecuted (read China and India). This is the most laughable reaction to a situation I can imagine. Wait until the martyrdoms start in the U.S. The number of Christians underground will skyrocket off the charts.
Slainte Mhath!
One of the main goals of the Left.
Gee, they must have really gotten their panties in a wad after Dwayne Wade thanked God on television last night for his MIAMI HEAT victory.

He should have thanked those heathenous referees too. ;-)
Mavs owner, Mark Cuban may have been using the God word too.. the night before anyway when describing their calls during Game 5.. $250K worth of it.

Authentic Swiss Baseball Cap. I never leave home without it!
I would hope to think your Christian values would keep you from using foul language.
This ought to be good.
The County Fairs here give free admission on Sunday afternoon if you bring a current weekend's church bulletin. Outrageous!
As a non-Christian, even I have to ask, "WTF"?
"Good grief, what a bunch of morons. Do us all a favor: leave the skating rink alone and go play marbles on the freeway..."
In order to do that, they would have to find the marbles they've lost.
Nope. Unfortunately, that was in my birth state of Michganistan (Hamtrak?). It hurts to think about it.
He's flippin out, just like the Bible said he would.
Lord God, I know you can deal with these idiots better than attorneys. But please, let some good Christian souls sue the socks off such treasonous, duplicitous dolts.
Yeah.
But pretty nigh long past time to pick sides.
The light is getting brighter and the dark is getting darker.
I wouldn't be THAT surprised to see Shrillery's tonuge really fork and horns really appear.
You'd have to wonder why the Islamofascists would want to hurt anyone there!
