The Abolishing Christian Legacy Union
Posted on December 11, 2006
In a column for WND Chuck Norris writes about the ACLU:
The ACLU is not anti-religion, just anti-Christian. By definition, it’s the American Civil Liberties Union. By action, it has become the Abolishing Christian Legacy Union.
The ACLU will assure Muslim clerics and imams the right to pray on planes, fight for an atheist’s rights to remove a cross, stand beside pro-abortionists, help illegal aliens cross our borders, and establish rights for the sexual deviant by forming the ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project, but what is it doing for Christians and Christmas censorship?
While allegedly fighting against the tyranny of the majority, the ACLU itself rules religiously by litigation, lobbying, and supporting counter-culture Christian movements.
So who died and appointed the ACLU as America’s religious constitutional watchdog?
Membership for the ACLU is only 500,000. America’s population is 300 million. I think it’s time that we helped them feel their size!
I suggest the rest of us follow the passion of Thomas Jefferson, who spoke these words that are etched on the very wall of his memorial in Washington, D.C.: “I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

Same old song and dance filled with fallacies and hyperbole. I don’t see how any use the word “tyranny” with a straight face. The ACLU doesn’t set any rules. It just petitions the court when it believes rules have been violated.
Their supposed hypocrisy is really not very complicated either.
- They fight for a strong establishment clause, which typically pits them against Christian groups who have historically enjoyed a cozy relationship with our governments.
- They also fight for a strong expression clause, which typically aligns them with minority religions who feel they are not being given the same consideration that a Christian individual would receive.
Well, in execution, the ACLU fights for unfettered expression of ‘alternate’ religions, but wants no expression of Christianity at all. They want the ‘minority’ religions to have unfettered ability to express, but prefer that Christianity have no public expression at all.
I’m sorry, but that’s just plain false. There isn’t a single town or city in this country where you could drive down Main Street and not see numerous expressions of Christianity. They only fight expressions of Christianity when they believe it is getting too cozy with a government.
If it seems that way, it’s because the minority religions rarely, if ever, try to use public bodies to voice their messages. Many Christians, on the other hand, act as if they have a right to do so.
No expression of Christianity at all? Did you miss this:

Fighting for the rights of a second grader to sing Christian songs in school.
Maybe it was one of those infamous Muslim Christian songs. I don’t know. Is “Awesome God” a Muslim Christian song?

That only stands to reason, doesn’t it gentrfam?
If the ACLU is going to represent a Jewish student in a Mississippi School and a Wiccan priestess to offer prayers before a public board’s meetings in Virginia and be silent about(because an Islamic terror suspect that worked for the ACLU, wrote the “Religious Expression in Public Schools” guidelines issued by President Clinton during his tenure in office) “Requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they’re Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Quran, pray to Allah and even to play “jihad games” in California public schools”, the least they can do is take a token “Christian” case, once in a while to keep up appearances.
Even a Boston lawyer should see through that one.
You know, they have a name for this.
Selective perception.
The dozens of cases where the ACLU fights for Christians, those just float out of your head.
* ACLU Files Suit to Protect Free Speech Rights of Christian Protesting Wal-Mart’s Policy on Gays
* ACLU of Georgia and Baptist Church File Religious Discrimination Lawsuit
* ACLU of Rhode Island Files Appeal on Behalf of Christian Prisoner Barred from Preaching at Religious Services
* ACLU of Michigan Defends Catholic Man Coerced to Convert to Pentecostal Faith in Drug Rehab Program
* After ACLU Intervention on Behalf of Christian Valedictorian, Michigan High School Agrees to Stop Censoring Religious Yearbook Entries
Those are also just for appearances, right?
And all these:

Why don’t you pick a number. What number of cases would not be appearances?
