CHRISTIANS PUSH FOR ‘CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS’ IN PUBLIC PLACES

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

With the American Civil Liberties Union as their targeted enemy, the Alliance Defense Fund members aim at putting Christmas back into American life. Hallelujah. Hark the Herald Conservatives Sing.

The ACLU says it’s a stupid move for as long as conservatives get their own kind elected to power positions, they have won the game.

Conservatives would like to have faith in the ACLU conclusion, but are wise enough to know that when a snake talks, it bites instead of ushering in wisdom for the community.

Therefore, ADF President and CEO Alan E. Sears informed media that his organization is going full guns ahead to bring religious expression into its rightful freedom of speech place in the American republic. All power to him. He is so right on.

For too long the nation has believed in this bogus definition of "separation of church and state" so as to follow the Pied Piper secularists in forming a godless union. Now that the public has become more educated regarding the true definition of separation of church and state, the grassroots is aching to express faith "out there" without fear of court cases and scowls from educational and political grinches.

Therefore, there’s the "Christmas project" in the offing. According to Fox News reporter Anita Vogel, it’s an endeavor "to defend school districts around the nation against lawsuits to ban Christmas trees and other religious displays during the holidays."

May the merry bells ring loudly and clearly for the reason of the season — Jesus! All else is peripheral, secondary and late in coming, let alone totally superfluous to the origin of Christ-Mass.

In Phoenix, ADF wages its own war against evil, anti-Godness, and secularists who want to supplant the nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage with humbug. The ADF goal "is to defend religious liberty, the sanctity of human life and the traditional family against any person or group who attacks those principles."

All I can say to that is an early Blessed Christmas to all, and to all a holy Yuletide approaching — in Jesus’ name, of course.
