ACLU Fights Yet Another Ten Commandment Monument
Ho-hum! You won’t see this in the mainstream media, because its the same old story again. Its come to be expected of the ACLU. What do they do, go out looking for these monuments? Do they have a seek and destroy team they send out all across America looking for any sign of Christianity on public land to destroy?
MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against Haskell County, demanding that a Ten Commandments monument be removed from the courthouse grounds in Stigler.
Haskell County commissioners had no immediate comment on the lawsuit.
It alleges the display violates constitutional protections against government endorsement of religion and entanglement of government with religion.
The ACLU brought the complaint on behalf of Jim Green, a retired veteran and a longtime resident of Haskell County. He objects to the monument because he believes the display violates the U-S Constitution and trivializes religion.
The 8-foot, $2,500 monument was funded by efforts of Stigler-area residents and church members. It was erected last November after approval from the Haskell County Commission.Source
Notice a few things here. It was not funded by the government, it was a gift paid for by the area residents. I’m assuming since the residents paid for it, that the majority wish for it remain. But this one guy who is offended is more important to the ACLU. I predict this one gets shot down if the community stands up for their rights.

I was raised close to Muskogee, OK. Regardless of who wins I predict that a group of red necks will run Jim Green out of the state of Oklahoma. The ACLU is messing around in a highly religious area of the United States on this one.
ahh rednecks, the true scrounge of the racist right wing. Domestic abuse alcahole abuse incest, child porn and the works. Yup the south will rise agian, right after they get indoor plumbing.
Moderation people, moderation.
hehe…saw this on the free republic site and was about to send you a link.
once again, the anti-christian loser union is destroying America.
*sigh*
They never quit.
someone – Hey! Way to be tolerant, non-stereotyping, and non-prejudicial. Keep up the great work.
okay someone …rednecks as you call them is a word that I do not use anymore , mainly because I recently found out the true orgin , so I shall say this also … and who says the religious folks from the south are all those terrible things .. imagine all that coming out of a commie .
The answer is: Yes, they do go looking for monuments. Now that they have a “template” case set up, they simply use their big bucks to pound on every small town that wants to exercise their First Amendment rights. Let’s look at the First Ammendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.How does a town having a monument transfer to Congress making a law to establish a religion?
Like I said over at FR Jay…
The ACLU has moved into my backyard! Now if I can just get them within 300 yards…
He is too stupid to spit it out again. Let him come on down and see how decent a real redneck is.
He is just scared because he knows a 5 year old redneck can kick his _ _ _.
Actually, I find being called a “redneck” is a compliment. Being compared to some of the hardest working and flat out nicest people on the planet is a good thing. “Rednecks” as you call them wake up before dawn, work hard ALL DAY (past sunset) and will stop in a POURING RAIN to help someone they DON’T KNOW change a tire. Where’s the bad in being called a redneck? (and yes, I’ve worked those hours, and I have changed a stranger’s tire in the rain)
