ACLU Forces Town to do away with Cross used in Christmas Celebrations

Submitted by Rick Honcho on Monday, December 1 2008One Comment

PONCHATOULA, La. (AP) -New Orleans, Louisiana was founded by French Catholics and the Christian religion has been an ever present cultural influence ever since. Yet, after hundreds of years that cultural influence being comfortably ensconced in New Orleans and the surrounding areas, here comes the ACLU to try and destroy expression of that religious faith.

The Associated Press is reporting that the ACLU has threatened the city of Pontchatula that if they put Christmas lights on a cross near Ponchatoula’s downtown locomotive they will be dragged into court.

Apparently a few lights threaten the existence of the entire Constitution of the United States.

The city has decided that they just can’t afford the costly court battle that the ACLU would force upon them.

Mayor Bob Zabbia said city officials don’t agree with the ACLU but realized that they probably would not win, and lawsuits are costly.

And, said Zabbia, “The law is the law. It doesn’t make sense to fight something you’re not going to win.”

But, what has replaced the lights on the cross?

Instead, a second bar has been added to display banners advertising citywide events.

So, Christmas is an evil, evil influence as far as the ACLU is concerned, but blatant commercialism is great? Love of Christ is a baneful influence, but crass commercialization is great?

That’s the ACLU for you, isn’t it?

    When are we going to stand up for what is right? We (the believers)are allowing too much wrong in this nation, and guess who is taking it all in? “Our Youth” the future of this nation. We havent’t stood for what is right in a long time. Don’t you thing it’s time to do so now! If we don’t how are “Our Youth” to know what is right and how to fight for it?

    Christmas is a celebration of LIFE! Yours and mine. It’s because Christ died on the cross for us all, that we have that life. But we have allowed that wonderful gift to be perverted by allowing the world and “ACLU” to dictate what we believe and how we celebrate what we believe. Who stop the world from advertising and celebrating what they believe, They have the a captive audience on televison, radio, & billboards to pollute us with violence, ponography, perverted sex, and the likes. Why is it that they can advertise their pollution and we can’t celebrate in something that is pure, and good.

    Our nation and children are suffering for our cowardness. They are being polluted with the world and Christ have “NO ROOM” in the heart of man.

    WILL WE STAND AND SAVE OUR CHILDREN?
