Here we go again: ACLU vs. American veterans

Saturday, May 30, 2009

The most infamous organization in American, the so-called American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), is fighting against American veterans yet again in the United States Supreme Court. As reporter Audrey Hudson writes in today's Memorial Day edition of "The Washington Times," in an article entitled: "ACLU 'dead wrong' on cross," a 7 foot cross standing for 75 years in a California desert to memorialize war veterans is being threatened with removal by, you guessed it, the ACLU.

It is reported that the cross was first erected in the federally protected Mojave Desert Preserve by a group of veterans whose doctors told them that desert heat would help them recover from shell shock. In his column today in "The Washington Times," Glen Gardner, a Vietnam War veteran, and the national commander of the 2.2 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. wrote that the United States Supreme Court will determine whether that gesture of respect violates the U.S. Constitution's separation of church and state.

As Mr. Gardner says: "The real issue behind Salazar v. Buono is whether the use of religious symbolism in veterans memorials on public property violates the Establishment Clause. If the High Court rules in favor of the plaintiff, every such memorial across the land will be in jeopardy of being torn down -- and the ultimate loser will be America. That's because veteran memorials help our nation remember what came before."

Am I wrong or is the ACLU always on the opposite side of the discussion from where common sense and moral conduct stand? I haven’t actually paid much attention to the ACLU until a couple of years ago, and I don’t know if I’ve ever agreed with them on anything. There’s always that chance, but I can’t remember any. In my opinion, the ACLU usually represents organizations or individuals or ideas that do not stand for the majority of Americans. The ACLU is the most destructive organization I can think of…..well, there is the United Nations…..and the K.K.K….and the Communist Party….and the Bilderburg Group…..and those confused GLBT souls that think it is considered good sport to spew their filth in churches…..and well, you get the idea.
This kind of junk reminds me of the sarcastic signs that you see in stores from time to time. “Suppose we give you the product, refund your money and carry the manager out back and shoot him, would you be satisfied? Will these God-hating organizations not quit until every remnant of the religion that this country was founded on is carried out back and burnt? America is now, and will be, seeing the effect that follows when God is ignored or shunned.
