Court Socks It to ACLU
No matter how many times you read the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, you will not be able to find the words "separation of church and state" or the phrase, "a wall of separation." Thanks to tireless efforts by the American Civil Liberties Union, millions of Americans think those words are in there and constitute the law of the land.
We've gotten awfully tired of that particular piece of disinformation--and now, finally, so has a panel of federal judges! See "First Amendment 'doesn't create church-state wall of separation': Court whacks civil-liberties group, OKs Ten Commandments display" (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48006 ). Writing for the unanimous opinion of the 6th Circuit Court, Judge Richard Suhrheinrich said the ACLU's "repeated reference to 'the separation of church and state'...has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state." Warming to his task, the judge also wrote, "The ACLU, an organization whose mission is 'to ensure that... the government [is kept] out of the religion business,' does not embody the reasonable person." Give that man a Supreme Court nomination!
For too long, the ACLU has relied on a misrepresentation of the Constitution to hypnotize Americans into thinking that their government is required by law to be hostile to religion, especially the Christian religion. Now a federal judge has pointed out that this humanist emperor is parading around stark naked. Let's hope this is only the first of many, many such decisions nationwide.
