Chuck Norris is awesome...no, wait, he's just another ignorant bigot

After reading the soy crap, I had a little toddle round WND, and found Chuck Norris's column. Now, if he's found Christianity and wants to blabber on about it, and WND is willing to let him do so, then so be it, but in the midst of the seemingly customary seasonal ACLU bashing (http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53317), he unleashed this little gem:
The ACLU will assure Muslim clerics and imams the right to pray on planes, fight for an atheist's rights to remove a cross, stand beside pro-abortionists, help illegal aliens cross our borders, and establish rights for the sexual deviant by forming the ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project, but what is it doing for Christians and Christmas censorship?
"establish rights for the sexual deviant"?

What a fucking twat. Even those who disagree with ACLU, or think Christianity is under threat, or dislike the secularisation of the holidays, or agree with some of his other points, are surely willing to reject that kind of regressive twaddle?

From Chuck:

Same ol' ACLU song and dance

The ACLU has been true to form this December in opposing any and all Christian practices and symbols in public arenas and elsewhere.

So far this season it has already muscled the city council in Berkley, Mich. to move a Christmas nativity off public property.

The ACLU also sued the Wilson County School System outside of Nashville, Tenn., because its Christmas program included ''Christian themes and songs'' – what the ACLU calls ''unconstitutional and illegal'' acts through which its plaintiffs have ''suffered irreparable damage.''

Alongside its crusade to suppress Christmas, the ACLU of Tennessee also found time to write Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill to assure the removal from the courthouse sidewalk of a wooden carved statue depicting Moses holding the Ten Commandments.

Just this past week, the ACLU opposed the Winston-Salem City Council's practice of opening its meetings with a prayer referencing Jesus or Christ.

Thankfully, along with the majority of veterans and patriots, I was very pleased to read of the ruling against the ACLU's mission to bring down the cross at the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial near San Diego.

How so?

Erecting Christian monuments on public property with public funds is unconstitutional.

Having a public school endorse or promote religious beliefs is unconstitutional.

Having government ceremonies involve worship of a particular faith is unconstitutional.

I don't know if all those examples were accurate, of course, but if they are then it sounds like the ACLU is simply expecting Christians to (gasp!) obey the law. I don't see how that counts as "attacking" them.

Because it's religion on public property.

The ACLU also sued the Wilson County School System outside of Nashville, Tenn., because its Christmas program included ''Christian themes and songs'' – what the ACLU calls ''unconstitutional and illegal'' acts through which its plaintiffs have ''suffered irreparable damage.''

Technically, yeah, it's unconstitutional for a government body such as a public school to openly subscribe to a particular religion.

Alongside its crusade to suppress Christmas, the ACLU of Tennessee also found time to write Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill to assure the removal from the courthouse sidewalk of a wooden carved statue depicting Moses holding the Ten Commandments.

Because it's religious and it belongs nowhere on government property - not just that, but the Ten Commandments have almost nothing to do with the law. Don't even think about arguing this - it's been tried, it's failed.

Just this past week, the ACLU opposed the Winston-Salem City Council's practice of opening its meetings with a prayer referencing Jesus or Christ.

Because they're a governmental body that shouldn't express bias towards any particular religious group.

Thankfully, along with the majority of veterans and patriots, I was very pleased to read of the ruling against the ACLU's mission to bring down the cross at the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial near San Diego.

Even though I'm sure a good many of those veterans aren't Christians. Right, that's being fair..

It's sad that we actually have to TELL some Christians that yes, the law applies to you, too. It's sad that we actually have to remind people that believing in Jeebus doesn't mean you get to break the law whenever you feel like it.

If you, as a private citizen, outside of any federal role, want to use your first ammendment rights to evangelize on Public land without any use of government resources to do so, you are well within your rights.

Fucking stupid as it may be, it's the fucking law. Do NOT get pissed off at the ACLU for enforcing the fucking law.

Also, let's count the number of commandments that have laws related to them:

1. Don't worship any other gods: Nope. In fact, the opposite - the law prohibits the worshipping of any particular god by the government.

2. Do not make any idols. Nope. I don't see any anti-blasphemy laws in place in VA. In fact, the law is enforced to ensure that people CAN blaspheme, in the name of free speech and expression.

3. Do not misuse the name of god. (use the lord's name in vain) Strike three.

4. Keep the Sabbath holy. I don't see any sort of anti-"Black Sabbath" laws being passed, or stoning those that work on the sabbath - yeah, this is bunk as well.

5. Honor your mother and father. Negative! Teenagers all across the country tell their parents to fuck off on a minutely basis, and the law can't do jack about it.

6. Do not murder. This is the first one! Congrats, you finally hit the nail on the head of being a decent person with number six.

7. Do not commit adultery. Not sure adultery is against the law, though it could be used in the courtroom to prosecute a murdering spouse who caught their husband or wife. Strike... six?

8. Do not steal. [b]Misdemeanor.

9. Do not lie. Only applicable when speaking in court, under oath. Any other time in personal or social situations, you can lie your ass off and get away with it.

10. Do not covet. [b]Jesus Christ - this country LIVES and THRIVES off of people coveting what others have! "Bob has a new Mercedes. Don't you want to be cool like Bob? His penis is so large, look at it - take this pill to be like Bob!"

I told you not to try, but you fucking had to do it. You had to push it, and I had to make you look stupid.

You're right, it doesn't hurt anybody to require that public schools be secular. I'm glad you acknowledge that.

Honestly, are you really going to try to argue that Christians are so stupid, or so greedy, that they think they DESERVE to use taxpayer money to promote their beliefs? I may be an evil secularist, but even I don't have that kind of low opinion of Christians. I think most Christians are quite able to understand that they aren't entitled to take other people's money whenever they want it, what with there being a commandment against stealing and all.

That means that they are, A) Representing the government to the people and B) leaving public land open to everyone.

Your laws are wrong. Treat everyone equally: fine. Respect Minority's, but support majorities because these are the large component of your nation

"Erecting Christian monuments on public property with public funds is unconstitutional"

Equal access.


"Having a public school endorse or promote religious beliefs is unconstitutional."

Again why? Seeing as most of your country is christian, why would you forbid publics schools from endorsing these beliefs?

Because some of our country is not. It would be an attack on minority students to give Christians the right to evangelize to a captive audience.

Indeed, the ACLU is filing suit on behalf of a family who live in the town and who feel that their religious freedoms were being violated by the school's practices. Clearly somebody felt they were being hurt.

First of all, I'm sure you are aware that "birth rate" and "number of men vs. women" are not the same thing, right? Given that, you know, a baby is neither a man nor a woman, and nobody is giving birth to fully grown adults.

So while there are roughly 1.05 males born for each female born in the US, the actual population break down shows that the majority of living persons in the US are female. Males have higher infant mortality rates and lower life expectancies, after all, so this isn't really surprising.

It's not the job of government to go about showing how much they support one faith or another, especially when the nation's constitution prohibits them from it.

Why's it make sense to prohibit the government and church from getting in bed? Because soon after you wind-up with leaders governing 'for god'. Man should enforce man's law. God can enforce her law herself, if she likes.

The ACLU has been true to form this December in opposing any and all Christian practices and symbols in public arenas and elsewhere.

So far this season it has already muscled the city council in Berkley, Mich. to move a Christmas nativity off public property.

Not quite:
http://www.afamichigan.org/2005/12/23/berkley-modifies-nativityaclu-drops-lawsuit-threat/

The ACLU also sued the Wilson County School System outside of Nashville, Tenn., because its Christmas program included ''Christian themes and songs'' – what the ACLU calls ''unconstitutional and illegal'' acts through which its plaintiffs have ''suffered irreparable damage.''

In the lawsuit, the ACLU of Tennessee argues that the pattern and practice of promoting and endorsing religious activities by the Wilson County public school system is unconstitutional. In addition to “Praying Parents” and “Prayer at the Flag Pole,” the Wilson County school system promotes a range of religious activities, including a National Day of Prayer event and teacher-led classroom prayers, according to the lawsuit.
http://www.aclu.org/religion/schools/26946prs20060927.html

Alongside its crusade to suppress Christmas, the ACLU of Tennessee also found time to write Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill to assure the removal from the courthouse sidewalk of a wooden carved statue depicting Moses holding the Ten Commandments.


Here's the letter:
The letter, dated Nov. 13, reads: "Dear Mayor Hill, American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee (ACLU-TN) recently learned that a statue of Moses holding the Ten Commandments has been placed on the sidewalk directly in front of the Cumberland County Courthouse. While it is our understanding that the county neither erected the statue nor granted permission for the statue to remain, it has not been removed. The decision to allow the statue to remain indicates the creation of a public forum for free expression. We write requesting written confirmation that this display area has in fact been deemed an open public forum, as required by law ... ACLU-TN embraces the unique American right to freedom of speech and expression ... By writing today, ACLU-TN simply requests written confirmation that an open forum has indeed been created such that all persons may express their religious, political, commercial and civic views freely in this public setting."
Here's my source.
http://www.crossville-chronicle.com/homepage/local_story_338194029.html


Just this past week, the ACLU opposed the Winston-Salem City Council's practice of opening its meetings with a prayer referencing Jesus or Christ

If, by opposing, you mean they sent a letter describing why it is unconstitutional, and that has been supported by City Attorney Ron Seeber, then you are correct.

He's done neither. Instead it seems he's just up and left in lieu of admitting defeat.

Hey, they all do that. It's to be expected when one has so little self esteem and is also sorely lacking in confidence.

"Hey! I'll just rush in this thread and spew my unfounded, ridiculous bullshit and insult anybody who tells me that I'm wrong, even when they give proof! Oh, and when I'm ready to admit that I was wrong, and that I stepped out of line, I'll just walk away and not say anything!"

That song's not about autofellatio, it's about masturbation. My friend can autofellate, though. He used to be the most normal of the group, until one day he said "Hey guys, I can suck my own dick!" and bent himself in half to prove it.

Chuck Norris can divide by zero.

When Chuck Norris jumps into a body of water, he doesn’t get wet. The water gets Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

In an average living room there are 1,242 objects Chuck Norris could use to kill you, including the room itself.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Wally is hiding.

Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.

When Chuck Norris runs with scissors, other people get hurt.

I think maybe we don't get what it means to "be Christian."

According to some Christians, and some of the people in this thread, "being Christian" appears to require that OTHER people participate in Christian worship. One cannot simply be Christian and have done with it; one needs to have government-funded schools telling children about Jesus. One needs to have taxpayer dollars used to construct Christian monuments on public land. One needs to have secular political leaders reciting Christian prayers during official functions.

Other people, of other faiths, may be capable of having beliefs and values even if other people do not share them. Perhaps other religions can exist even if the government does not spend time and money enshrining them in every aspect of daily life. But not Christianity, apparently.

After reading the soy crap, I had a little toddle round WND, and found Chuck Norris's column. Now, if he's found Christianity and wants to blabber on about it, and WND is willing to let him do so, then so be it, but in the midst of the seemingly customary seasonal ACLU bashing (http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53317), he unleashed this little gem:

"establish rights for the sexual deviant"?

What a fucking twat. Even those who disagree with ACLU, or think Christianity is under threat, or dislike the secularisation of the holidays, or agree with some of his other points, are surely willing to reject that kind of regressive twaddle?

Props to Chuck Norris. He is correct in every respect.

"Re-defeat communism 2008" with H. Clinton's face on - wtf?

I was unaware that she was a communist... or any kind of socialist, for that matter. It's also good to see that "commie" is still an insult bandied around against anyone even remotely worrying to Conservatives. Such as women with any kind of power.

Don't you get it? What makes Chuck Norris so awesome is that he's so manly. Not one ounce, one meager scintilla of femininity corrupts his sublimely manly being.

Lesser men are, to some degree or other, feminine. However masculine they may be, they are flawed. Perhaps they cried the day they were kicked in the balls while drunk at their mothers' funerals. Perhaps they used a napkin once. Perhaps they occaisionally urinate while sitting down if they are already taking a dump. Whatever it is, they are less than the paragon of manliness, Chuck Norris.

You say "ignorant bigot" as though it somehow makes him less than he is known to be. He is unblemished by such womanly things as the ability to understand abstract thoughts, or consider the irony of worshiping a God of compassion while remaining a warmonger.

Lesser men, like (I'm guessing) you and I are cursed with womanly frailties like the abilitis to communicate , to think about two things at once in order to form a comparison, or to see things from the other person's point of view. But Chuck Norris, and his acolytes, know that the only reason one should ever think about things from another person's point of view is so that they can think about how awesome it would be to be Chuck Norris.
