That's fine I'm not angry with you for thinking the article had hatred, I don't see hated just a justifiable anger at yet another example of the ACLU's double standard.
As a Christian I'm fairly closed minded on many issues and yet I seem to be far more willing than you to admit that your position and view has at least some level of validity and usefulness. I'm of the view that there is always some value to other peoples positions and opinions even when they disagree strongly with my position and opinon.
Ayiekie it seems that in most any political discussion that it has to be your opinion or the person is "contemptable" or some other suitably terrible thing for not having your opinion and position on an issue.
You like so many other liberial and athiest I listen to appear to be far more narrow minded than I am as a christian and rarely if ever find value in opinions that disagree with the liberal point of view or opinion.
I rarely agree with you, the ACLU, liberals or athiest and yet I still value all your opinions even if you don't value mine and only have room in your world view to think I'm contemptable for my opinions.
I do find it odd that liberals which often claim to have such open minds have so little room to entertain the opinions and ideas of other groups especially the opinions of conservatives or christians.

Good article I enjoyed it and with the exception of you reaching a little bit with the link to a money trail that leds to muslim donations I think your article does a good job of highlighting what the ACLU started as and has been slipping deeper into for years.
I think you are justified in your anger at the ACLU and I don't classify that anger as hate.
Thier non-action on the foot washing isn't the only example of thier dislike and bias against conservative ideals and christianity.
I've watched ACLU court cases for years and it always struck me how in general, admittly with a several exceptions they target conservative and christian ideas and values.
I've watched how thier focus on the seperation of church and state seems to be blind to the existance of other religions or as the Athiest often insist on calling them myths and fairy tales.
I can't think of the number of school houses and court houses I've seen on TV where some christian Icon is being removed to honor the ACLU's idea of seperation of church and state, while in the background other religious myths and fairy tale icons remained.
Isn't it odd that in many scenes where a court house is shown it is only the Christian religious Icons and qoutes that are being removed.
If the ACLU was truly worried about the seperation of religion and state as they claim why aren't they fighting to force the government to take down the statues of Greek and Roman gods and the quotes from those nearly dead religions?
Why aren't the ACLU's Athiest bringing court cases against the Greek and Roman religous myths that figure large in the design of most court house and many schools. After all the statues and quotes from that religion should be as damaging to them as the Chirstian Icons and quotes.
