I wonder what the ACLU thought about “Islam Day,” passed by the Hawaii legislature, which coincides with no Islamic holiday, but the Julian calendar date for September 11th.

Whoops…wrong religion….I guess it’s just dandy!

The ALCU and associated goon squad have really taken this way to far. As far as I can understand, the establishment clause was meant to prevent a state run religion like the church of England. What is next, demanding any crosses or such on the gravestones be sandblasted off lest someone else be offended? Also, the cross is laying in a box on the side of a hill that is not visible from the road, how is that going to start offending people who drive by if they don’t even know it’s there. It seems like the left wants that if any christian symbol is displayed you have to have the symbols of every other religion and cult out there next to it and overshadowing it.

The goverment keeps intruding in our lives with what we can and cannot do or think these days. And the left just pushes it along, using the constitution as a shield while stripping away the rights it gives from most of america, reserving those rights for a select few to pevert and interpret in ways to accomodate their whims.

Isn’t the Washington Monument an Obelisk, an ancient Egyptian religious symbol? By the same logic used by the ACLU, vast chunks of Washington DC would need to have plywood boxes put around them, so they can be removed as not to give atheists the vapors.

We have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

I must say just one more time; “I AM JUST ABOUT ON MY LAST NERVE WHEN IT COMES TO JACKASSES FEELING THAT THEY MUST DICTATE THEIR OWN DAMNED VIEW OF LIFE ON EVERYONE ELSE”. Why don’t people live and let live? Everyone has to be offended about something. What shallow and dull lives they must live. One day they will look back and regret all the usless time they spent – life is very short.

Boy, you’ve got that right, JR. Getting that repealed is a worthy goal.

But, alternatively, perhaps the ACLU could start going after teachers who indoctrinate schoolchildren into the cult of The Won. I’ll hold my breath.

The problem is a 1976 federal law called the Civil Rights Attorney’s Fees Awards Act, the ACLU has been gouging taxpayers for lawsuits they initiate. The ACLU makes money with these cases, your tax money!
