God Save America

by Sher Zieve

Who would have thought that, after the 9/11/2001 attacks on our country, all too many US citizens would run to both accept and embrace the religion of our enemy attackers? But, that is precisely what has happened. Since 9/11, Muslims throughout the US have demanded—and received—all manner of special privileges; from intimidating businesses into accommodating Muslim prayer rooms to said businesses setting aside portions of the workday for them to engage in prayer. Note: Suffice it to say, Christian prayer has been banned in the workplace and schools—for decades. The ACLU saw to that. But, the same ACLU that bans Christian practices hypocritically—perhaps illegally—either ignores or embraces special accommodations for Islam. Christian prayers—even non-denominational—have been forbidden in school classrooms and the workplace. But, everything Islam is being increasingly accommodated and adopted. Christmas has been branded "taboo" by public school administrators. But, the Islamic celebration of Ramadan is not only being instilled in an increasing number of public schools but, has even been celebrated at the White House.

Most recently, with yet another strong backhand applied to the faces of all non-Muslims (specifically Christians), the University of Michigan has become the latest public entity to make the decision to ignore the US Supreme Court ruling concerning the separation of church and state in the US. With their actions, its leftist/liberati administrators have also made the decision that the SCOTUS decision does NOT apply to the Muslim faith. Instead, these same officials are making increasing adjustments for Muslims and their "faith" in direct conflict with the aforementioned SCOTUS decision. This is yet another example of liberals, leftists and other enemies of the United States of America being allowed to break the laws of our land, while the rest of us are subject to arrest for not being duly submissive to the lawbreakers. As yet another example of school administrators caving to Muslims’ intimidation, 23 year old Stanislav Shmulevich was arrested for placing a copy of the Islamic Koran in a toilet at Pace University. After the originated-by-terrorist-Hamas-officials group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) complained to NYPD, police authorities charged Shmulevich with a ‘hate crime’. A hate crime against a book? However, if one does the same to a Christian Bible the authorities traditionally and historically ignore it. In other words, desecrating the Bible—or for that matter the Torah—is not considered a crime by US officials. Said "hate crimes" only applies to the Islamic Koran; just as separation of church and state applies only to Christianity and Christians.

Currently, all that is Islamic or even radical Islamist is "okay" with the American Liberati. Even one of the Democrat press’ bastions of liberalism, the Washington Post, is now attempting to instruct its readers that radical Islamists are really ‘moderates’. One of that publication’s staff writers, Michelle Boorstein, tries to shove this concept down their throats in her article From Muslim Youths, a Push for Change. By their continuing capitulation actions, our feckless liberal "leaders"

appear to be her audience. Again, their appeasement-of-all-that-frightens-them mantra grows louder: "Anything and everything Islam is okay with us!" And perpetrated by these same groups, anything and everything Christian is in process of being removed from life as we know it. Christianity, which essentially preaches peace, is being barred from American life while Islam—that preaches war and death to all non-Muslims—is being deified. Note: Isn’t it the liberals and leftists who claim to be anti-war? If so, why do they support a movement—Islam and its Muslim religion—that bases its existence on death and war and ridding this planet of all non-Muslims? No wonder the Left is considered by an increasing majority of we-the-people to be insane. It is.

In regards to the above growing atrocities, we-the-people again have two choices. We can ignore these mounting perils to our existence—and choose to end our lives—or we can fight them. Unless Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) and his minions are successful in shutting us up, we can still contact our elected officials—local, statewide and national—and tell them to stop this insanity! US laws either apply to everyone or they apply to no one. If our elected leaders don’t understand that—they shouldn’t be in office. We can still vote them out. And we-the-people need to continue to take a stand against all of the increasing atrocities being committed against us. If we don’t, it won’t be long before we can no longer stand at all.

Liberal educators accord to John Stuart Mill's essay "On Liberty" the status of holy scripture. Mill's particular version of liberty, essentially that of the ACLU, is a prescription for anarchy degenerating into tyranny.
 
American academic liberals (not to be confused with the original version of liberalism represented by Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" and by our own Constitution) have long employed Mill's essay to inculcate in callow students the idea that actions to subvert society's traditions are both heroic and socially progressive.
 
Mill notes that English liberty originally meant limitation of the sovereign's arbitrary powers, the ethos undergirding our own War of Independence.
 
But, says Mill, that principle having been long since established, the modern (1859 in his case) definition of liberty must be expanded. "It is now perceived that such phrases as 'self-government,' and 'the power of the people over themselves,' do not express the true state of the case. The 'people' who exercise power are not always the same people with those over whom it is exercised….. there needs protection also against the tyranny of prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them."
 
Mill's ringing summation is, "The sole object of this essay is to assert one very simple principle…… that the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection." 
 
Libertarians will find nothing to disagree with in that statement. But, as James Madison noted in Federalist No. 51, experience has taught mankind the need for auxiliary precautions.

Those of us who live in America have become “Fat Cats.”

We simply no longer take time to care about America or what is going on in our nation.  The ACLU, Illegal Aliens, Islamic Radicals and many other groups just do not matter to us anymore. We have become “Fat Cats.”

What have we become so busy doing?  Maybe we have become so busy living our lives we just don’t have time to pay attention.  Maybe we have become so worldly we don’t have time to fight for what is just simply right. Maybe there are just too many things going on and we feel unable to fight against them anymore.

Maybe we think we are just too busy to really get involved.

Whether you are a Democrat, Republican or an Independent, we believe the vast majority of us are patriotic Americans.  We believe in America and what the Founding Fathers started when they wrote our Constitution.  We must follow the idea that we are all Americans first, last and foremost.  Then we could stop the silly game of political bi-partisanship which is going on in Washington DC today.

The vast majority of you are good people who want the best for America and for your grandchildren.  Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad people in the world who just cannot wait to do the next wrong thing.  We have never figured out why there are bad people in the world, but they are here.

The ACLU, Illegal Aliens and Radical Islamic followers seem to think freedom means no rules, no standards and no personal responsibility for our own actions.  The good sounding arguments of the ACLU, Illegal Aliens and Islamic Radicals are leading America down a path of self destruction.

(Washington, DC) – The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), specializing in constitutional law, said today it will enter the legal battle to save the cross atop Mount Soledad in San Diego in place despite a federal court ordering its removal within 90 days.  A federal court has given the city three months to remove the cross or face stiff fines.  The ACLJ has offered San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders legal assistance in the case and says it will – at the very least – file friend-of-the-court briefs in support of the cross if the city’s appeal moves forward.

“We believe the City of San Diego has strong legal arguments to ensure that the cross on Mount Soledad remains in place,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ.  “The Mount Soledad cross has been in place – in one form or another – for nearly 100 years.  It’s part of a war memorial honoring the men and women who died to defend our freedoms.  The ACLU’s lengthy legal battle to remove the cross underscores what most Americans already know – the ACLU will stop at nothing to remove any symbol of our religious heritage and history – even a war memorial.  We believe the City of San Diego must explore every legal, legislative, and political remedy available.  The ACLJ stands ready to assist the city in its legal defense and at the very least is prepared to file friend-of-the-court briefs in support of the cross if the appeal moves forward.  This cross should remain in place and we’re confident there’s legal precedent to support that argument.”

The ACLU has championed many causes since it was founded in 1920 by Mr. Roger Baldwin. Some of the most notable causes or rulings the ACLU supported have to do with abortion rights, homosexual and lesbian rights and removal of prayer from the public schools. Some of its most notable positions were of lesser significance but created much more press because they bordered on the frivolous and were more a nuisance than a legitimate cause. They adopted positions against bible studies and prayer groups in public schools and the removal of manger scenes in public during the Christmas season. Can’t you hear the voices of many grateful Americans in a resounding…gee thanks?

Not to be mistaken for something that actually qualifies as the protection of our civil liberties is the new battlefield conjured up by the ACLU in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The three crosses adorning the city logo is a point of pride and history for the residents there but for the ACLU, they have given cause for it to rear its head and wield the battle axe. It has resulted in making “what ever happened to common sense” being the most oft used phrase in internet blogging history. But wait, it doesn’t stop there.

The latest fit the ACLU has begun; concerns prayer offered by the U.S. military’s chaplains. In short the ACLU thinks it should be stopped. Whew! That’s good thinking. I don’t know about you but the last thing I would want to have happen to me just before I went to battle for my country is to have my country tell me I couldn’t go to God in prayer. In particular they are trying to stop chaplains from praying in the name of Jesus Christ. In a volunteer force made up of mostly Christian men and women isn’t that an infringement of their religious freedom? In fact it is more than that.

The ACLU loses case on the Ten Commandments

WASHINGTON, April 24, 2006 - The Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals announced today that it would reject a request to rehear a Ten Commandments case out of Kentucky. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), who represents Mercer County, the defendants in the case, was pleased by the court’s 9-to-5 vote to not revisit the December 2005 ruling upholding the constitutionality of the Mercer County display.
 
”It’s very clear that the full appeals court believes that its three-judge panel ruled correctly in upholding the constitutionality of this display,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. ”This is an important defeat for the ACLU and other groups that are committed to removing our religious heritage and traditions from the public square. If this case is appealed to the Supreme Court, we stand ready to defend the display and remain confident that the constitutionality of the display will prevail.”
 
The December 2005 three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit voted unanimously rejecting the ACLU’s argument that the display, which includes the Commandments posted along with other historical documents in the county courthouse, violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
 
In that opinion, Circuit Judge Suhrheinrich said that 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.” The court said that a reasonable observer of Mercer County’s display would appreciate ”the role religion has played in our governmental institutions, and find it historically appropriate and traditionally acceptable for a state to include religious influences, even in the form of sacred texts, in honoring American traditions.”

"But for how long? !" We send our brave men and women off to fight in a foreign land , while we allow certain anti Christian government officials to little by little chip away and remove the vary "GOD given" freedoms that we sent them off to defend!

We allowed the BIBLE to be removed from our public schools while we allowed the" theory" of evolution to be forcibly taught to our Children we look at incidents like Columbine and we hear a woman who’s lost a child in a school shooting say GOD how could you let this happen ? YOUR ANSWER : YOU SAID GOD WASN’T ALLOWED IN SCHOOLS ! It’s now more easily done to sneak guns and explosives into a public school , than it is to read a Bible there , and the A.C.L.U. won’t file a law suit for bringing a gun or bomb to school , but they sure will if you bring a Bible.

The American justice system , in the court room you are asked to swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth , "SO HELP ME GOD !"on the BIBLE , while The Ten Commandments have just been ordered out of the public court ."The same principles that you were just asked to swear to tell the truth by !" With the removal of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS on which the American justice was based , and our great country was founded ,YOU have just allowed the hope of all justice to be removed from the American court room !

When I was in school , we were taught to be loyal to our country .We stood shoulder to shoulder as young Americans, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance , the way it was originally designed , ONE NATION UNDER GOD , for those of you who don’t remember . " GOD & A FREE COUNTRY" That’s what our brave men & women of the armed services are fighting and dieing for !

The ACLU is seeking to block the military’s involvement with the Scouts.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments today concerning whether the Boy Scouts of America could continue to use Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia for its quadrennial Jamborees. Last summer, more than 40,000 Scouts attended the Jamboree.

A lower court had ruled against the Scouts, but the Department of Defense appealed the decision. The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The district judge decided that since the Scout oath includes a "duty to God," it is a religious organization and therefore not allowed to use military facilities.

Virginia’s Attorney General Bob McDonnell said that was a major misinterpretation of the First Amendment.

"It seems to be another attempt by liberal groups to exclude . . . religion in the public square," he said. "It’s completely at odds with what, I believe, our great Virginia founders meant when they wrote the First Amendment."

Drew Meifert, an Eagle Scout, said Boy Scouting is needed more than ever in the U.S. and merits protection from leftist groups.

"In a time when youth are being bombarded by media and messages all over the place," he said, "the Scouts emphasize a commitment to a higher purpose that is really lacking in a lot of other organizations."

Standing up against the ACLU in the name of freedom of speech is possible. There is no need to fear the ACLU. Prayer can defeat them. 

WILMINGTON, Del. — The Indian River School Board has rejected a proposal to settle a lawsuit over school-sponsored prayer that was filed by the ACLU against individual members of the Indian River School District Board of Education. In rejecting the proposed settlement, school board members have opted to abide by their current prayer policy, which allows for prayer before board meetings. The board’s decision not to settle with the ACLU was greeted with cheers and a standing ovation from members of the community.

Deltona, FL - A week after Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit over censored religious paintings, Deltona Mayor Dennis Mulder sent an email to George Griffin, President of the Volusia/Flagler chapter of the ACLU, stating: "The importance of the ACLU is immeasurable to me, my life, and my political philosophy." Explaining why he was unable to attend the ACLU meeting, the next sentence asked Griffin to "Please share my thoughts with the group."

After Mayor Mulder and acting City Manager/City Attorney L. Roland Blossom removed paintings by Lloyd Marcus from a Black History Month display due to their religious themes, Liberty Counsel sent two letters, one explaining the law and the second demanding the paintings be returned. When Mulder and Blossom refused, Liberty Counsel filed suit. At an emergency meeting of the City Commission, Mulder and Blossom backed down and the paintings were displayed.
