The Continuing Saga Of The Idiotic ACLU

“What you have there is government taking a stand on religion, putting their stamp of approval on a particular religion,” said Maggie Garrett, an ACLU staff attorney. -WorldNetDaily

This is the excuse the ACLU made for demanding that the Oglethorpe County Courthouse in Lexington Georgia take down a tapestry with the 23rd Psalm on it. And with an inept Supreme Court backing them up, who can blame them for being so bold.

So I thought that in the interest of TRUTH I would post, once again, what President George Washington himself said and once again put the lie to the story that the 1st Amendment prohibits government from displaying religion. Ready? Liberals, you may want to cover your eyes because this will cause them to burn:

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
- OCTOBER 3, 1789 George Washington
“Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me to commend to the people of United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness, now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next, to be devoted to the service of that great and glorious Being, Who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or will be.”

Oops. Sorry for telling the truth.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity. By posting a comment you agree to abide by the rules of this site.
