This week, Fran Quigley, head of the ACLU in Indiana, hit back with an editorial entitled: “How the ACLU didn’t steal Christmas.”

He said the group was being demonised by well-organised “extremists” whose real agenda was to crush religious diversity, “and make a few bucks in the process”.

“Nowhere in the Sermon on the Mount did Jesus Christ ask that we celebrate his birth with narrow-mindedness and intolerance, especially for those who are already marginalised and persecuted,” he wrote.

He said the ACLU’s mission for justice saw it work hard to protect the rights of free religious expression for all people, including Christians. (Source)

This is laughable, the ACLU created the current environment of politically correct Christmas, through years of attacking small town nativity scenes. Now they are crying that they have been demonized? They have done this to themselves, and the majority in America are speaking out against it. And they turn around and call the groups, I suppose like The Alliance Defense Fund, that oppose them “extremists”? And isn’t it interesting how they start quoting scripture when it suits them?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! An extremist would be a group that defends organizations like NAMBLA. An extremist would be an organization that work with groups having known terrorist ties like CAIR. An extremist would be a group that advocates completely open borders. Extremism is advocating the legalization of child porn distribution. Most Americans would say that defending America’s enemies is extreme.

So organizations that want inform America that they don’t have to fear a lawsuit, and that they have certain rights in expressing Merry Christmas are not extremists. There may be some out there that are just out to make a buck off of it, but that isn’t extremism, its capitalism. Capitalism is done by many groups during the Christmas season, and its not extremism. If there were ever a well organised extremist group, that would be the ACLU.
