~Cao, when you break it down to its most simple form, the ACLU is ensuring one facet of our founding father’s makeup of our country, that the seperation of church and state remain a staple…you can expand that simple fact to its widest proporations and make it a piece of the rhetoric from the right, but you would be going against the principles our country is founded upon…~
I don’t agree. Nowhere in the founding documents is “separation of church and state”
btezra – IMHO, that is a rather ill-thought-out statement/opinion. I believe the ACLU is trying, in its simplest form, to destroy many of the principles this country was founded on.

Cao, you are correct, but…
A friend had sent me the following in an email a while back on the topic of “seperation of chuch and state”
“No magic attaches to a particular verbalization of an underlying concept. The concept at issue here is more accurately expressed in James Madison’s phrase ’separation between Religion and Government,’ or in the popular maxim that ‘religion is a private matter.’ The phrase “Bill of Rights” has become a convenient term to designate the freedoms guaranteed in the first ten amendments; yet it would be the height of captiousness to argue that the phrase does not appear in the Constitution. Similarly, the right to a fair trial is generally accepted to be a constitutional principle; yet the term “fair trial” is not found in the Constitution. To bring the point even closer to home, who would deny that “religious liberty” is a constitutional principle? Yet that phrase too is not in the Constitution. The universal acceptance which all these terms, including “separation of church and state,” have received in America would seem to confirm rather than disparage their reality as basic American democratic principles.”
The ACLU is currently run by a group of liberal, far left fanatics who have a vision of the US that resembles the past USSR.
No “Buts” on this one. Go into my founding fathers section and read.
btezra; The words “fair trial” may not be in the constitution but I do believe it is in the Bill of Rights.
The ACLU was founded by people that were COMMUNISTS, and they have always worked towards that end.
Also I do belive that there are plenty of grave markers in national cemetaries with Stars of David on them. How come the ACLU isn’t crying about them?
I will tell you why. Because when you attack a group you attack the biggest in the group, under the theory that if you take down the big guy the rest won’t want to fight. Christians are a huge group in this country. Once the ACLU gets all symbols of christianity removed they will go after the jews and on and on until there are no religious symbols left anywhere but hiding in homes under lock and key….just like the USSR of old.
I don’t know if you are christian or not but if you aren’t does it really hurt you to see a cross? If it does may I propose that you must be some kind of vampire and I would like to test that theory by driving a stake through your heart.
If you die from that it means you are a vampire right?
But fear not, that won’t happen to you, because if you are found to be a vampire I am sure the ACLU would fight for your undead rights.
No, it means he’s a moonbat. Van Hesling at Moonbattery.com specializes in driving stakes through their hearts. Marvin Moonbat posts over at Rightwingnuthouse on Fridays.
BTW, you’re incredibly right on about the ACLU. But watch out, because Jay might be nearby and he’ll post some rants if we talk about it too much.
The ACLU gives conservatives so much political firepower with their war on religion and their support of everything immoral that we should be grateful in a way that they exist. Most moderate leftists can’t stand them either.
Has anyone taken into consideration that the story that has you all talking is false. The ACLU has no intention of taking crosses off cemeteries. This is an Urban Legend. The photograph used is of a European cemetery! Please check out snopes/urban legends page for posting something that may be a hoax.

That’s like saying “it’s not illegal to convert to Islam” in the case of Jose Padilla.
Regardless as to whether or not this particular incident has been debunked, the ACLU has gone after the boy scouts, military bases, the small cross on the Los Angeles Seal, defends criminals, pedophiles, murderers and terrorists. The evidence against them is so overwhelming, that I don’t think it matters to anyone that this is an “urban legend”. If it would make you feel any better, I can post the disclaimer, but you lefties are amazing.
Oh and by the way, the last comment on this thread was in March. You’re commenting in December. Wassup with people going through my archives, anyway?
