Most of us realize that among the most vocal entities spreading the message against Christianity, our traditional institutions, as well as the majority-held attitudes are the A.C.L.U., the New York Times, Hollywood, and the Anti-Defamation League. No one should be afraid to take these entities front-on out of fear of being labeled racist or callous to past historical injustices. Fighting for the preservation of our historic American culture is not offensive, nor chauvinistic, nor exclusionary. Its our heritage, one our children deserve.

Coincidentily, I put my lights up today. Ya it's a little early but only because I want my message to run as long as possible. I've spelled out in lights "Screw U ACLU" on the rooftop.

I am putting ours out before the end of the week. Only because 1. the weather is nice, and it will be much easier now, and 2. I am sick of everyone cow towing to these "we know better than you what is best for our communities" types. I plan to do it up big this year, and not with solely white lights either!!
As last year, whenever I am out, and someone says "Happy Holidays" to me, I will say back to them "and a Merry Christmas to you!!" with a big smile of course!
We really need to start making these statements strongly. When faith is taken out of the equation, so to goes morality and values. After all, to those of us with faith and traditional values, those are the very things that keep us "in line" so to speak. Even without laws, we wouldn't think of doing morally reprehensible things. These secularists cannot understand that, they want laws for everything from mowing your lawn, to chewing gum!! But no laws for protecting our most innocent.

Yes. Our Constitution guarantees freedom of religious expression in any way that others' rights are not violated by the expression--not freedom from such public expression.
It's also interesting to note that most people who try to stop others from expressing their religious beliefs are not really Atheists. Most of them are New Age pagans of one sort or another.

This is a great message, and right on the money. And for the record, I try to wish people a Merry Christmas, unless I know they're Jewish. In which case, of course, it's Happy Hannukah.

Excellent article. At first, I thought the title referred to something else. During the oil crisis in the early 70's, President Nixon suggested setting thermostats at 55 degrees and not putting up Christmas lights. Lack of Christmas lights seemed almost like a patriotic act. My town was dark at Christmas and it took many years to have people decorate with outdoor lights again. Never again! Let's make sure the ACLU and other far out groups don't try to kill Christmas observations by tying the issue to energy use. As for the thermostats...the birth of the pantsuit.

This year I will have a brand new Nativity Scene on my front lawn. Wal-Mart was the only store in town selling them!
Thanks for the ping ntnychik!
