ACLU Don’t Think Christian Comedy Team Are Funny
Hat tip Peakah’s Provocations
LA PLATA, Md. — The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a complaint about a Christian comedy team that performed at five southern Maryland public schools.
The ACLU of Maryland sent a letter to Charles County Superintendent James Richmond, characterizing the program as “a vehicle for religious proselytizing” that violates the First Amendment.
Rick and Mick Vigneulle have performed at two high schools and three middle schools in Charles County this year. The pair invite students to off-campus pizza parties where they deliver a religious message.Source
Peakah sums it up nicely:
Ahem, umm, let me get this right… it violates the FIRST AMENDMENT to discuss moral issues with kids that has a Christian perspective?!? Unless these kids were shackled and led off to the local church and forced to pray at gunpoint there is no violation of the First Amendment!! The First Amendment protects exactly what this comedy team was doing.
If only this team could have performed wearing offensive clothing while dipping crucifixes into jars of urine, having sex with virgin Marys, while shooting themselves up, the ACLU would have been writing them checks!
Peakah has a great post that sums up my feelings about it much more elequantly than I can. I’ve ranted and raved about the ACLU till I’m blue in the face, and I’m starting to feel like I’m repeating myself. I’ll just say one thing: “What a joke!”
Go read Peakah’s excellent post on it.

Its a crazy world Jay! Many defending the free speech rights of Ohio neonazis (what is it with Ohio, lately?) and now a so-called Civil Liberties group attacking free speech rights of Christians!
Wow, thank you for your kind words but you are the one putting in all the blood sweat and tears to bring awareness to the threat that the ACLU poses to our nation.
Keep up the good work my friend and thank you kindly for the linkage…
I’m on board with you Jay! Lets stop those seditious… you know whats…
Please don’t give up. I know you feel like you are hitting your head against a brick wall but your messages are getting out.
Will it never end?
To Hades with the aclu. We should sue them for pushing atheism….it is a religion after all.
Good one Jay.
Better watch that blue in the face stuff I read on one of the blogs the other day taht they were shoting Smurfs in Iraq
I went back and re-read the 1st Amendment. Having a little trouble finding the part where it says “Thou shalt not proselytize, in any way, shape or form.”
