Wonder what happens when sculptures of the Qur'an begin appearing in front of courthouses? Just curious....

When is our government going to take away their tax exemptness? I am sick of them trying to ruin America.

Or the various Islamic flags flying atop of our own flag.

All one needs to do is go back to the formation of the ACLU and see WHO it was, and WHY. The connections to communism and anti-Americanism are in the very roots of the organization. And don't let the appearance of the initials FDR suprise you when you investigate the history of the ACLU.

By the way, I agree that they have every right to have this monument there, but we must think about the question I brought up and how rulings will be used in other cases. I did not mean to detract from the substance of the article in any way.

"a national government clothed in limited authority"

As Charlie Brown said to Linus when Linus said, "You know how it is, Charlie. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose," "Sigh. Wouldn't it be nice."

The American Civil Liberties Union again is suing under the twisted rational the fourteenth amendment somehow disables local government from displaying anything remotely religious in nature. The latest victim targeted by the ACLU is the rural Florida county of Dixie, which has a Ten Commandments monument at the steps of its courthouse.

The lawsuit says the monument violates the First and 14th Amendments because it is not part of a historical display and because the uniquely Christian message ...

Gee,... bet our Jewish Freepers are surprised to find that the law that Moses brought down on the stone tablets carved by GOD are uniquely Christian.

Won't happen unless Big Brother and federal courts intervene and open communities to floods of muslims against their consent. I agree with Madison in another of his articles that early settlers did not come here to establish freedom of religion, but came here to establish their own religious sect and were not tolarant of other sects that ran countered to their own.

Highly recommend two books "The ACLU vs, AMERICA" and "Red Star of Hollywood" Fast, informative, shocking, and infuriating reads

It depends on which version of the Commandments they used.

What, you thought they were all alike?

The last time I looked the Ten Commandments were in the old testament.

Community consent to who moves there went out with Jim Crow.

I wasn't referring to citizens of the United States, but immigrants and asylum seekers from other parts of the world.

Just a procedural niggle, really: once we overthrow 100 years of jurisprudence and toss out the idea of incorporation, shall we just go whole hog, throw out Marbury v Madison and get rid of judicial review altogether?

Is it the willful omission by the MSM that prevents the truths about the ACLU and other marxist organizations (like Democrats) from being presented? Or is it just an ignorant public?

Nothing as long as the control of their migration remains where the constitution left it: with the States and not Congress.
