said, "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."

But I digress.

In America we have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.  Religious symbols in the public square are no threat to our freedom; they're simply reminders of our heritage and the foundation on which our county was built. 

The Boy Scouts are not the enemy of America, yet they are vilified and viciously attacked by the ACLU.  Why?  The unfortunate answer is that the Scouts are a religious organization. 

Veterans and the memorials that pay tribute to their service to this country are not the enemies of America, yet the ACLU wants those memorials removed if there is any mention of God on them.  Why?  Because their aim is for Americans to worship another god--the god of the radical Left -- secular humanism! 

And that's not all they're up to.

"In Vermont, the ACLU advocated for the removal of convicted child molester's names from public record, a dangerous and ill-conceived position that would facilitate the open, undetectable movement of vicious criminals and leave everyone in their path--especially children--in grave danger. It seems that the ACLU is more concerned with the rights of convicted felons than the rights of innocent, law-abiding citizens." Alex Fitzsimmons

If that's not bad enough, the ACLU has challenged state and federal efforts to pass Jessica's law, a piece of legislation that calls for more rigorous tracking of convicted sex offenders. 

But here's the most surprising thing of all.  The ACLU is defending the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a group of evil predators that advocates sex between grown men and innocent little boys.  According to Fox News's Bill O'Reilly, NAMBLA's website posted techniques "designed to lure boys into having sex with men and also supplied information on what an adult should do if caught." 

The ACLU's attorneys are attempting to remove religious symbols from the public square. They're hostile to the Boy Scouts, whose only crime is turning boys into men.  They're trying to thwart Jessica's law.  They're fighting to remove the names of child rapists from public record.  But they offer their services to defend the freedom of speech and association rights of NAMBLA, a group of sexual deviates whose goal is the abolition of age-of-consent laws that classify sex with schoolboys as rape.  What's wrong with this picture?

As Deroy Murdock so aptly put it, "It would be nice to see NAMBLA siphon its own bank account rather than the ACLU's to justify its evil ways. The ACLU decides for itself where to devote its finite resources. Hence, its leaders freely chose to stand with cheerleaders for pederasty while torpedoing those who mentor rather than rape little boys."
