ACLU: The Left Hand Doesn’t Know What the Right Hand is Doing!
Most everyone has read the most recent case the ACLU has inserted themselves into. The case involves a second-grader who wants to sing “Awesome God” at a voluntary, although school endorsed, talent show. Here’s a brief snapshot of the ACLU’s

It happens from time to time…

I don’t think the ACLU is anti-Christian in intent. Their political worldview that they are pushing through the courts, however, is anti-Christian in effect, though occassionally lines up with Christian things, or conservative for that matter. (See their defense of Rush Limbaugh’s medical records, for instance).

It should be noted that people who really think about these things and take a position (moderates are excluded, they don’t take positions, they try to be popular) really agree on what the problem is. There are crappy people in the world and most of them are in the government. The difference between the right and the left is the solution, i.e. more government vs do-it-yourself.

Hmmm…can’t say there’s much common sense on behalf of the school board here is there? They allowed her to sing the song in practice, but then later said no? If the choice of what to sing is left up to the student, don’t be suprised if some of them choose songs of this nature…the only stuff they shouldn’t be allowed to sing is the patently offensive songs, that shouldn’t be heard by an 8 year old, much less sung by one…this isn’t a complex issue at all…the issue isn’t being pushed by the state, she isn’t being compelled to sing, this is her choice….at least it -was-….

It's amazing that this school board could outdo even the ACLU for hostility to Christianity. Maybe the moonbattery that has been running rampant in Philly recently is managing to travel up the river. (Philadelphia's city council recently voted 16-1 to pull our troops out of Iraq immediately — as if someone had died and left these nuts in charge of our foreign policy.)

Here is something that needs to be considered. The School Board is probably going to be meeting, or has already met to discuss this matter. Knowing that the ACLU and the ADF will in all likelihood pursue this to the highest reaches of the federal court system, and knowing that they would lose in this fashion,they will ultimately give in. However, this being said, that talent show is over. This little girl who was looking forward to singing in public for what might be the very first time, has been dealt a blow to the development of her talent. If she has aspirations to being an entertainer, this could possibly have an adverse affect on her ability to do so. A piece of this little girl has been hurt. And no matter the ruling or decision of the school board to back off of their position, the damage has been done. What will they do to correct this? I’m not sure that it can be corrected.

The new America, and what we have been trying to fight against, ruling you lives with the fear of being sued.

Well at least there is progress, the ACLU is on the correct side of this one, maybe this site, and people like us, are actually making a difference…maybe.
