The mask sure is coming off fast. The ACLU now views the 1st Amendment as the 2nd Amendment; it does not exist. ACLU was all gung ho about RFRA when applied to dope smoking Natives and other let us say non-Western traditions and practices but now when Christians want the protection they want to get rid of RFRA.

Up is down and down is up. Good is evil and evil is good.

The ACLU wants to mandate its own religion and get rid of all others. Okay, they will want to keep Islam so they don’t get blown up.

But religious liberty doesn’t mean the right to discriminate or to impose one’s views on others.

Religious liberty doesn't mean the ability to codify what is or is not sinful behavior. Right.

Bow down to the Church of Big Government.

The ACLU was from the start a coalition of Marxist & Fabian Socialist activists, that used the First Amendment--among others--not really to vindicate religious liberty, but as a tool to undermine religious cohesion in local communities across America. It always selected cases for their effect in that direction.

For its role in the suppression of reasoned dissent in the 1950s, see Leftwing Word Games & Religious Freedom.

In the civil rights era, we rejected the claims of those who said it would violate their religion to integrate.

Here's the money quote. If we abhorred racism enough to force those with religious principles against it to integrate, which we did, we don't really have a logical reason to refuse extension of those same protections to other groups.

Unless your views are Liberal. Then you may use every avenue of government, media, social media, and anything else to impose your views on others.

Anyone want to guess what's next on the "progressive" agenda...?

Remove religious/traditional anything/everything from the public square?

Litmus test for everyone choosing careers in academia/media?

Pedophilia rights?

Dissolve sovereignty/individualism?

Orwell's Alinsky's 1984?

Sieg Heil Lenin style?

By Monday, serious calls for regulation of faith. More gun control. Harsher penalties for anyone speaking against the blessed homosexual.

By August, a massive upswing in lawsuits based on the above and the beginnings of widespread voilence.

By September open violence with militants of every liberal stripe taking advantage of social media stirred hate for traditionalists.

Then things start getting bad.

The ACLU was never about “civil liberties,” it was always about legal protection for Leftists and their friends and allies. It’s the standard communist tactic. The Bolsheviks in Russia were all for freedom of the press and dismantling the secret police, too ... until they were in power.

If you don’t like the Rules, don’t Play the game.

As my Father told me many years ago, you can’t complain about a Job unless someone put a Gun to your Head and made you take it.

Be prepared for all churches to become State-Sanctioned Churches(TM). They will be required to post their IRS 501(c)3 at the front door with a placard that says “In Compliance.”

It’s time for the people who file these lawsuits and the lawyers who represent them to start vanishing.

Forever.

The ACLU has always been a Marxo borg org. Time to lock and load.

Like forcing Christian Churches to perform gay marriages, right?

Sikhs are cultured and peace-loving. The middle eastern death cult is violent, intolerant, deceptive and hateful, but is given special favors.

As a simple Theonomic positivist, I’ll never understand what grounds non-theists think exist for any objective, external standard . . . of anything.
