We need a new President, a new Congress & a new Supreme Court, but most of all, America needs God. Sometimes I wonder when they will come after our billboard on the grounds that it 'offends' someone.
This supreme court decision today offends me!
U.S. Supreme court today rejected an appeal by Forsyth County, NC to overturn the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that found that Forsyth County had endorsed Christianity with its prayer policy, although the policy was neutral on its face. The appeals court said that under the policy a large majority of the prayers referenced Christianity. This means it is now illegal for the county commissioners to pray at their meetings.
The ACLU cites 'separation of church and state' as the basis of their arguments based on the private writings of Thomas Jefferson. If this was Jeffersons intent, how do you explain the fact that he attended church services EVERY Sunday in Washington DC while President of the United States at the U.S. CAPITOL BUILDING!
Ever wonder how the America-Hating / God-hating ACLU survives?
"We are about to get very busy," said Katherine Parker, the ACLU attorney who argued the case against Forsyth County in the court system. "We have heard from 25 to 30 religious minority individuals in cities and counties all over North Carolina, and we are about to start contacting those (local government) attorneys. We are going to remind them that this is the law, and presume that they will follow the law."
Parker said the Supreme Court's decision not to hear Forsyth County's appeal "underscores that government can't take sides on religion, and that is what Forsyth County has been doing by endorsing one set of beliefs over another."
"Anybody who believes that the government ought to be neutral on matters of religion ought to be happy today," Parker said.
The ACLU will also be sending Forsyth County a bill for about $200,000 in legal fees, Parker said.
