ACLU on the attack...again

Supreme Court to Decide if Cross can be Used to Honor War Veterans After ACLU Sues to Remove WWI Memorial Featuring Cross......

Some see it as the universal symbol of sacrifice in World War I, others see it as the undisputed sign of Christianity, but it will be up to the Supreme Court to make a final determination as to whether a 7-foot cross remains standing in a California desert to memorialize war veterans.

The cross was first erected in 1934 in what is now the federally protected Mojave Desert Preserve by a group of veterans whose doctors advised them that the desert heat would help them recover from shell shock.

Veterans today say this war memorial and others like it across the country that use religious symbols are under attack by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

"They are not the enemy; they are just dead wrong," says Joe Davis, spokesman for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).

But the civil liberties group says the cross is offensive to Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim and other non-Christian veterans.

"People of every faith have fought and died for this country," says Peter Eliasberg, counsel for the ACLU Foundation of Southern California. "Yet we will have veterans divided about the idea of how you reflect the sacrifice of American veterans."

Gotta love them hypocrites at the ACLU. Mndapa1, you are a member of the ACLU. What do you think about this?

[mndapa1]

What...was that a dig?

Yes I am a member of the ACLU. They dont always do they obvious nasty. They do good things as well....but you never see it in the headlines. The only headlines you see are the ones that bring attention to a particular cause.

As an ACLU member, I stand for peoples rights, not supposed rights. A lot of people do not know the difference. Read the opinion pieces this week and last...I took this issue on already on www.pineandlakes.com ...ok?

Have any questions, get back to me.

I stand for what is factual. There is no law that defines seperation of church and state, and it is not in the US Constituion, or any founding documents for that matter. So I do not side with those who want to dictate their views instead of rights. A right is something that exists and is available to all. My work for the ACLJ supports this.

Hey, mndapa1, my friend. I was waiting for your response to this one. You aren't a lib-tard in sheeps clothing are you? Nah, I know better than that. How have you been?

[mndapa1]

Been ok. Dad is doing a little better.

Libtard, me...funny. You know, I have been a right extremist as defined by the leftists for so long, I would know how to act in a room full of liberals...almost frightening.

I have been a member of the ACLU for many years, and a member of the ACLJ and an advocate for Liberty Counsel. Some people, including my friends, think it is an oxymoron, but it really isn't.

The ACLU has done a lot of good things, and a lot of bad things. One thing for sure, the only time they get any attention, is when they are taking on causes I believe in. When it is clear that there is a conflict of interest, I remove myself. I will always take the stand for Christ first, and when it comes to the minority in the ACLU that wants to assault Christ, His followers, or our rights, it is like being categorized as just a Republican.

I am not just a Republican. I am a Conservative, socially and fiscally, Republican. There is a big difference. Just like, not all democrats are socialist, liberal, Nazi's...althought there are a sure lot of them.
