WHAT IS BEHIND THE "HATE CHRISTIANS" CAMPAIGN
By Thomas D. Segel, United States Marine Corps retiree
In the United States, the Anti-Christian movement has now reached
the point where those who keep religion as the focal point of their lives
can no longer dismiss the actions of a hate-filled leftist movement.
At the center of the attack on the Judeo-Christian heritage of
America is the ACLU, which has been appropriately renamed by the
Traditional Values Coalition, the "Anti-Christian Liberties Union". This
organization, professing to be dedicated to protecting the freedom of all
Americans, is relentlessly on the attack against anything and everything
the nation considers as fundamental values.
Most Americans are not even aware of the ACLU's radical left birth
and its dedication to following a communist-socialist agenda for the past
85 years. The ACLU was created at a unique gathering held in 1919 by an
activist socialist named Roger Baldwin. Others of socialist-communist
leaning assisted him with input at this assembly.
From the beginning, Roger Baldwin instructed those involved in the
ACLU movement to make sure it always looked like a very patriotic
organization. He instructed them to "steer away from making it look like
a socialist enterprise. We want to look like patriots in every thing we
do. We want to get a lot of flags, talk about the Constitution and what
our forefathers wanted to make the country, and show that we are really
folks that stand by the spirit of our institutions."
The organization then went on the attack and started its legacy of
defending abortionists, pornographers, child molesters and attempting to
dismantle the nation's Judeo-Christian heritage.
By 1931 the Special House Committee to Investigate Communist
Activities stated, "The American Civil Liberties Union is closely
affiliated with the communist movement in the United States, and fully
90% of its efforts are on behalf of communists who have come into
conflict with the law. It claims to stand for free speech, free press,
and free assembly, but it is quite apparent that the main function of the
ACLU is an attempt to protect the communists."
The committee also reported "since its beginnings, the ACLU has waged
war against Christianity."
The greatest impact of this hate organization has been since the
ill-fated court case of 1947 when the term "separation of church and
state" emerged as a legal mantra of the left. Even today, countless
Americans, including our elected officials, believe that statement is
based upon the constitution, when in fact; there is no such
constitutional mandate.
Currently the ACLU is waging a frontal attack on the public display
of Christian symbols. In Los Angeles County it panicked officials into
recommending the removal of a small cross on the county seal. The ACLU
won the removal of a cross from a World War I memorial to fallen
servicemen. It has caused to removal of the 10 Commandments from public
property across the United States. Twenty-Four lawsuits have been filed
against the display of the 10 Commandments and more are being filed every
month.
ACLU suits have been brought against the Boy Scouts because the group
has a religious foundation. The newest target is to remove any symbol of
Christianity from official city, county, state or national seals.
Any examination of the ACLU would be incomplete without reference to
its agenda to degrade moral values. This is done through the defense of
Gay and Lesbian objectives. It has defended pornography as a freedom of
speech issue and even opposes filtering systems on the computers of
public libraries.
The ACLU is defending the North American Man-Boy Love Association for
its role in promoting the sexual abuse of children. It supports and
defends homosexual adoption, legalization of homosexual marriage and pro
homosexual recruitment programs in public schools. All of these
activities are designed to accelerate the moral degradation of the
country.
There are ways to slow down, if not seriously impede ACLU activities,
if the American public will develop enough backbone to take action.
Though it claims to take no government funding, there is reason to
believe the ACLU still receives funds from federal, state and local
governments. Citizen organizations should examine their public
expenditures and demand cessation wherever such payments are discovered.
These fundings of ACLU activities usually come about at times when it
is threatening litigation over some perceived wrong. There are now
opposing groups recommending suits be filed against any government body
authorizing taxpayer support of this so-called civil liberties
organization.
Congress could also bring about marked change in the way litigation
is filed against municipalities and government agencies. It would need
to change the civil-rights statue, which permits the ACLU to collect
attorney fees from the very governments it takes to court.
The usual routine is for the ACLU to claim a municipality violates
the Establishment Clause with some form of Christian display. If the
local government loses the case, taxpayers are hit with the costs and
public dollars go directly into the pockets of the ACLU. By Congress
changing the law so the Establishment clause does not apply, the ACLU
would lose millions of taxpayer dollars.
The civil rights statute also allows anyone to file suit if they
perceive they have been "wronged". This brings about numerous suits of
little or no merit. By requiring those who file litigation to show they
have been personally harmed would reduce such suits markedly.
Another way to slow down this Anti-Christian activity would be to
publicly identify those organizations and foundations which provide
funding. Records and reports of such financial activities must be made
available to the public. Most foundations, organizations, unions and
individuals, regardless of their political leanings, do not want their
names linked to anything that could prove to be a public embarrassment.
Organizations such as the Horizons Fund of California, the Tides
Foundation, the Gill Foundation of Colorado, the Arcus Foundation of
Michigan and nationally known Ford and Rockefeller Foundations have all
very quietly made generous contributions to the ACLU.
There are indications of a citizen backlash forming. We have an
organization, which is the champion of everything repugnant, and we have
a government fearful of litigation. The public does not like this and
seems at a point where it wants to take action.
