After the ACLU won that case and the School Board ignored the court ruling, Louisiana ACLU chief Joe Cook called for them to be jailed and compared them to terrorists. Mr. Cook is currently leading an attack on plan for a Katrina memorial paid for with private funds to be erected on private land simply because it is in the shape of a cross and might offend some sensitive passerby. When valedictorian of Foothill High, Brittany McComb, decided to share her faith voluntarily at her graduation cermony the ACLU said it was the right call to pull the plug. And of course we are all familiar with the ACLU's crusade to eliminate the Mt. Soledad war memorial because it is a cross that might offend some atheist.

This was a typo and an especially unfortunate one as it introduces unwanted connotations. I meant “goodly.”

Do you mean it's a myth in that the words "separation of church and state" don't appear in the Constitution, even though the principle has a strong foundation in the First Amendment? That's the only explanation I can come up with. I, too, would like an explanation of how separation of church and state is a myth.

Funny how numerous incarnations of the U.S. Supreme Court and a godly number of conservative judges recognize that this seperation [sic] is anything but a myth. But go ahead and invent stuff on the fly if it helps you work up a nice infantile tantrum. "The ACLU were behind the lawsuit in their usual manner, trying to erase all traces of our Christain heritage. They continue to America’s number one religious censor." Do you proofread at all? You've used this particular inaccurate homily so many times to date that it's one passage I'd figure you could type correctly. You seem genuinely unaware that when you use the word "our" as you did above, you're not speaking for all of America. There is no special political place in America's history for Christianity. The founders of this country had a very strong sense of what religious oppression *by Christians* had done in Europe and they didn't want to see a re-enactment in a fledgling America. I do enjoy the fact that you can spout this sort of maniacally paranoid crap and then immediately post about the conspiracy theories and tinfoil hats of left-wingers. Just another reminder that hypocrisy is an indispensable element of true-blue pseudoconservativism. “Of course the ruling was based off of the old myth of ’seperation of church and state’.”

Another Big Hitter will enter the fray. This case is a ridiculous reminder of how far the ACLU will go to eradicate any trace acknowledgement of religious reverence in the public square -- nothing is sacred, not even the memory of our nation's fallen heroes. Remember the ACLU also has its mitts all over the case in Utah to remove the Utah Highway Patrolmen's memorial crosses (former head of the SLC ACLU office is a plaintiff), all the cases to remove crosses from city seals and even current cases that prevent individuals from thanking their God in graduation speeches, among many others. People that defend this abominable organization need a check up from the neck up. Stand by for some more big news on this front next week. Another Big Hitter will enter the fray.
