It's whispered among Capitol Hill staffers on the intel and armed services committees; White House NSC (National Security Council) members clam up tight if you begin to hint at it; and State Department neo-cons love to give their liberal counterparts cardiac arrhythmia by elliptically conversing about it in their presence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Completely obliterating the terrorists' holiest of holies, rendering what is for them the world's most sacred spot a radioactive hole in the ground is retribution of biblical proportions – and those are the only proportions that will do the job."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being an advocate of total war, I would much enjoy if these is found to be true.

The original intent of our founding fathers was not to create a secular statist society, in fact (as I learned from Good Mr Hannity this evening) the phrase "seperation of church and state" is nowhere in the Constitution.  But check out what is in our starting documents...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Declaration of Independence:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and&lt;br /&gt;Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me " to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:… "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The American Crisis” by Thomas Paine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“…Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER," and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution of Delaware Article 22 (1776)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oath of Office: “…I, A B. do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration."…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution of Maryland Article 55 (1776)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“…That every person, appointed to any office of profit or trust, shall, before he enters on the execution thereof, take the following oath; to wit :-" I, A. B., do swear, that I do not hold myself bound in allegiance to the King of Great Britain, and that I will be faithful, and bear true allegiance to the State of Maryland; " and shall also subscribe a declaration of his belief in the Christian religion. …”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution of North Carolina Article 32 (1776)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“…That no person, who shall deny the being of God or the truth of the Protestant religion, or the divine authority either of the Old or New Testaments, or who shall hold religious principles incompatible with the freedom and safety of the State, shall be capable of holding any office or place of trust or profit in the civil department within this State. ..”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution of South Carolina Article 38 (1778)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“… That all persons and religious societies who acknowledge that there is one God, and a future state of rewards and punishments, and that God is publicly to be worshipped, shall be freely tolerated. The Christian Protestant religion shall be deemed, and is hereby constituted and declared to be, the established religion of this State. That all denominations of Christian Protestants in this State, demeaning themselves peaceably and faithfully, shall enjoy equal religious and civil privileges. To accomplish this desirable purpose without injury to the religious property of those societies of Christians which are by law already incorporated for the purpose of religious worship, and to put it fully into the power of every other society of Christian Protestants, either already formed or hereafter to be formed, to obtain the like incorporation, it is hereby constituted, appointed, and declared that the respective societies of the Church of England that are already formed in this State for the purpose of religious worship shall still continue incorporate and hold the religious property now in their possession. And that whenever fifteen or more male persons, not under twenty-one years of age, professing the Christian Protestant religion, and agreeing to unite themselves In a society for the purposes of religious worship, they shall, (on complying with the terms hereinafter mentioned,) be, and be constituted a church, and be esteemed and regarded in law as of the established religion of the State, and on a petition to the legislature shall be entitled to be incorporated and to enjoy equal privileges. That every society of Christians so formed shall give themselves a name or denomination by which they shall be called and known in law, and all that associate with them for the purposes of worship shall be esteemed as belonging to the society so called. But that previous to the establishment and incorporation of the respective societies of every denomination as aforesaid, and in order to entitle them thereto, each society so petitioning shall have agreed to and subscribed in a book the following five articles, without which no agreement fir union of men upon presence of religion shall entitle them to be incorporated and esteemed as a church of the established religion of this State:…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vermont Bill of Rights Article 3 (1777)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“… That all men have a natural and unalienable right to worship ALMIGHTY GOD, according to the dictates of their own consciences and understanding, regulated by the word of GOD; and that no man ought, or of right can be compelled to attend any religious worship, or erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any minister, contrary to the dictates of his conscience; nor can any man who professes the protestant religion, be justly deprived or abridged of any civil right, as a citizen, on account of his religious sentiment, or peculiar mode of religious worship, and that no authority can, or ought to be vested in, or assumed by, any power whatsoever, that shall, in any case, interfere with, or in any manner controul, the rights of conscience, in the free exercise of religious worship: nevertheless, every sect or denomination of people ought to observe the Sabbath, or the Lord's day, and keep up, and support, some sort of religious worship, which to them shall seem most agreeable to the revealed will of GOD…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vermont Constitution Chapter 2 Section 6 (1777)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“…Every man of the full age of twenty-one years, having resided in this State for the space-of one whole year, next before the election of representatives, and who is of a quiet and peaceable behaviour, and will take the following oath (or affirmation) shall be entitled to all the privileges of a freeman of this State.&lt;br /&gt;I _____ solemnly swear, by the ever living God, (or affirm, in the presence of Almighty God,) that whenever I am called to give any vote or suffrage, touching any matter that concerns the State of Vermont, I will do it so, as in arty conscience, I shall judge will roost conduce to the best good of the same, as established by the constitution, without fear or favor of any man…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and the list goes on and on and on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our schools teach Islam (the exploding religion), Hinduism (which burns people that they admit have done nothing wrong), and the Communist pseudo-religion (credited with between 90 and 150 million people by secret police alone).    I was never taught Christianity in school, the fundamental beliefs of Christianity are not talked about, but Islam is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To take God from America would be UNAmerican.  Our own Constitution says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"   Is forcibly removing Christianity from our lives and our history and replacing it with foreign infidel religions not violating the Constitution?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-110256056024101155?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/110256056024101155/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=110256056024101155' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/110256056024101155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/110256056024101155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/12/america-is-one-nation-under-god.html' title='America is One Nation Under God'/><author><name>J.

While the United Nations is chartered to promote peace, it’s actions recently have made it an accessory to terrorist crimes.&lt;br /&gt;This calls for straightforward action by the people of the United States to protect our national interest. Americans must demand our government remove the United Nations from our borders and cease serving as the major financial supporter of an organization that has veered from its original purpose.&lt;br /&gt;The United Nations was originally founded according to its charter “to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security.” However, it has become apparent that leading voices in the United Nations have positioned the organization so that it is increasingly a body that sides with those who find the use of terrorism against unarmed and innocent civilians tolerable.&lt;br /&gt;Instead of serving as a rallying point for free nations and free people to unite to combat terrorism, the United Nations has become a safe harbor, apologist and defender of terrorist organizations and their agents.&lt;br /&gt;Recently it has become clear that none other than the UN General Secretary himself, Kofi Annan, has been implicated in covering up the troubling “Oil for Food” scandal, and stonewalling investigators. The so-called “independent audit” of the alleged misdeeds of the UN’s “Oil for Food” program is looking more and more like a whitewash.&lt;br /&gt;Why? Evidence suggests that Mr. Annan and his son, Kojo, may themselves have been involved in wrongdoing in partnership with Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein. High-ranking officials throughout the UN are now suspected of financially benefiting from maintaining Saddam Hussein in power, despite his despotic rule and ties to worldwide terrorism and refusal to accept UN resolutions.&lt;br /&gt;Saddam Hussein served as one of the greatest advocates for international terrorism, yet the United Nations is wrought with individuals who became the greatest obstacles for putting an end to his promotion of international terror.&lt;br /&gt;In the aftermath of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Kofi Annan has added insult to injury by calling the military operation enforcing UN resolutions “illegal.” This is despite a series of resolutions, including Resolution 1441, which stated, “the Council has repeatedly warned Iraq that it will face serious consequences as a result of its continued violations of its obligations.”&lt;br /&gt;That resolution included a dissenting opinion by three nations. Those nations were France, Russia and China. Evidence has now emerged which implicates those same three nations as being the most actively involved in the UN-Iraq “Oil for Food” corruption scandal.&lt;br /&gt;Money from the “Oil for Food” scheme not only went to pay the families of Palestinian terrorists, and journalists and officials in countries opposing the Iraqi action, but it looks like it also went to purchase the weapons that so called “insurgents” are now using in Iraq to kill coalition forces, Iraqi security forces, and innocent Iraqi civilians.&lt;br /&gt;No longer should the United States of America serve as the host to an institution that serves as a forum for opposition to our national interests. Further, the United States should reexamine the extent of its financial support of such an agency.&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. pays a membership fee to the United Nations of $360 million per year (and billions more in payments to other UN organizations).  These are payments made to an organization that is serving as an obstacle in the war against terrorism. That makes no sense, and we must take action to reduce or cancel payment of these fees. [Currently the U.S. pays approximately 22% of the UN’s general budget and 27% of peacekeeping budgets.]"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sword of Freedom supports this move and hopes that you will sign this petition.  the site is &lt;a href="http://www.moveamericaforward.org/?Page=Petition"&gt;http://www.moveamericaforward.org/?Page=Petition&lt;/a&gt; and a link to it has been added to the sidebar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-110166230544014796?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/110166230544014796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=110166230544014796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/110166230544014796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/110166230544014796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/11/getting-un-out-of-america.html' title='Getting the UN out of America'/><author><name>J.

What are they attacking this time? Is it Christianity? Is it the right to not be attacked by Nazis? No, now they want to take away the government's ability to protect us from terrorists. They suggest that the Patriot Act gives the government the ability to search people without reason. Well the fact is that the Patriot Act extends powers the FBI has to go against Organized Crime to International Terrorist Organizations, and allowing intelligence agencies to communicate. Does this mean that the ACLU thinks that Capone is a bigger threat than Bin Laden?  Under the Patriot Act, police still need good reason to search someone.

The &lt;em&gt;Washington Times&lt;/em&gt; reported that in 1994, when the ban was launched, about 2% of gun crimes involved a weapon on the list. Its a simple fact that handguns in general are used more for illegal actions, probably because they are easier to hide. Then you have the fact that criminals by their nature don't follow laws, if they want these guns, they'll get them through illegal means. So who really loses out? People like this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Koreans Defend Themselves with "Assault Rifles" in Los Angeles Riots&lt;br /&gt;Many of the guns which current "assault weapons" bans are targeting -- including the federal ban enacted in 1994 -- are the very guns with which the Korean merchants used to defend themselves during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. (34) Those firearms proved to be extremely useful to the Koreans. Their stores were left standing while other stores around them were burned to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;The Korean merchants would agree that when one is facing mob violence and the police are nowhere to be found, one needs a gun that shoots more than just six bullets. A ban on large capacity semi-automatic firearms will only harm one's ability to defend himself and his family.&lt;br /&gt;While most Americans are able to spend little time thinking of what the police can do to protect them during times of domestic tranquillity, there is no guarantee that this will always be the case. Citizens, like the police, have a right, and some would say a duty, to be able to prepare themselves against certain threats." (provided by gunowners.org "&lt;a href="http://www.gunowners.org/fs9403.htm"&gt;http://www.gunowners.org/fs9403.htm&lt;/a&gt;")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So people who shouldn't have these weapons have them anyway and people who should have them do not... sounds effective. According to the &lt;em&gt;Washington Times&lt;/em&gt;, over just the last three years gun related crimes have increased 68%. This is probably because evil is not easily stopped by people with underpowered weaponry. So in the end, this ban not only takes away the Constitutional Right to Bear Arms, but also takes away the natural right to self defense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-109573201829914724?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/109573201829914724/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=109573201829914724' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109573201829914724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109573201829914724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/09/weapons-ban.html' title='Weapons Ban'/><author><name>J.

Its mostly in how its said, for instance, "Holy crap! you just got a thousand dollars, that's amazing!!" verses "only a thousand? damn you suck."  Its like the current unemployment issue.  Kerry camp says that we lost one million jobs and that makes Bush the devil.  However you also hear that right now the unemployment rate is 5.4% which is actually .2% less than it was in 1992 when Slick Willy ran on having a great economy.  Here's what this really means, the unemployment rate is effectively the same as it was when the "lost a million" was measured from, so if we lost one million and the unemployment is 5.4%, then for every man who is now out of work that wasn't before, 18.5 people now have jobs that didn't before.  Why is this? because the the work force is bigger, if you had 250,000 people out of work now that would be amazingly low, if you had that same number out in 1800, the economy would be going to Hell.  The Kerry campaign would be screwed if people were to realize this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-109451695417402300?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/109451695417402300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=109451695417402300' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109451695417402300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109451695417402300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/09/numbers-can-say-anything-you-want.html' title='Numbers Can Say Anything You Want'/><author><name>J.

In exchange for hostages, terrorists often demand the release of some of their evil cohorts. I think one way of discouraging this type of action would be to take revenge on the people the terrorists list, either during or after the terrorist event. If we were to shoot, maybe not all, but most of the people on their release list, would they put out another of these lists? I think not. If they demand a country to withdraw troops from an area, I think they ought to deploy more. If you give the terrorists the opposite reaction they want, they'll stop taking hostages. The best message you could give to them, so long as you know where they are, would be something to the effect of, "By noon tomorrow, for every hostage you still have, ten thousand pounds of bomb will fall on you".  It helps to kill hostage taking terrorists, which is probably the only good thing you can credit to Ratman Vladimir Putin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-109406252678682488?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/109406252678682488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=109406252678682488' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109406252678682488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109406252678682488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/09/my-theory-on-hostage-negotiation.html' title='My Theory on Hostage Negotiation'/><author><name>J.

For one, we have corpses of people who died from chemical weapons, thousands of Iranians and Iraqis.  In fact our current knowledge on how to treat chemical weapon victims comes from those harmed by Saddam's weapons, weapons of mass destruction.  People are willing to admit that he had mobile Scud launchers, why? because missiles rained down in Israel, however we never destroyed any of these launchers nor have we found them.  In the space you could hide one of these massive machines, you could hide enough small pox to wipe out a third of the world.  And since the war started we also found artillery shells modified for poison gas.  So we have bodies that are clearly dead from chemical arms, artillery shells that have weapons in them, and hundreds of thousands of square miles of desert to hide these things in, where it may take a century before the sand will uncover them again.  I'm sure there aren't any weapons there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-109399015952290950?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/109399015952290950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=109399015952290950' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109399015952290950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109399015952290950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/08/where-are-weapons.html' title='Where are the Weapons?'/><author><name>J.

Because we all know that weapons can be brought onto planes, its been done, so the trick would seem to be giving everyone onboard arms.  And before you dismiss this as crazy, just think about it.  If Joe Terrorist tried to take over the plane, yeah he'd have a gun, but so would the crowd of American Patriots on the plane with him.  If he starts anything, the hero next to him shoots him, if he is clever and starts by shooting the hero next to him, lifetime NRA member across the plane gets him through the eye.  Also the inside of a plane isn't nearly as vulnerable as people say, the only part that might be weak enough to break with hand guns may be the windows, however those could be easily upgraded with layers of bullet-resistant plastics.  Yeah maybe ten die in the firefight going on in first-class, but that's a whole lot better than everyone on board and all the people in the building the terrorists crash into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-109354053196587328?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/109354053196587328/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=109354053196587328' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109354053196587328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109354053196587328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/08/airline-security.html' title='Airline Security'/><author><name>J.

Democrats have come out in disgust of these ads, which is quite funny in that similar groups on their side have attacked the right for years without any condemnation.  Bush was asked to come out against these ads.  And he did.  Not only has he said that these ads are wrong and that Kerry's war record is honourable, but he has moved against such "soft money" orgainizations for years, like signing the McCain-Feingold law.  Bush isn't only against the Swift Boat people, but against all such groups and has made this clear for weeks.  So what do the Democrats do?  John Kerry is showing TV ads saying that Bush is behind the Swift Boat Veterans.  VP candidate John Edwards said, "The moment of truth came and went, and the President still couldn't bring himself to do the right thing."  What more could you want from him?!  He's gone beyond condemning the Swift Boat Veterans, he condemns all the 527 groups.  The only thing else he could do would be to personally hunt down each member and destory every Swift Boat member.   No matter what happens, no matter what is said, the Democrats will always blame Bush for everything, because they don't care about facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-109330777716421030?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/109330777716421030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=109330777716421030' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109330777716421030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109330777716421030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/08/nothing-is-good-enough.html' title='Nothing is Good Enough'/><author><name>J.

With an army of brownshirt lawyers, the ACLU is trying to destroy America in the courts, where public opinion can't stop them. They don't care about Democracy; they don't care what you want; they don't care about right and wrong.&lt;br /&gt;In 1977, a group of Nazis planed a rally in the town of Skokie, a town with a high population of Jewish deathcamp survivors. When the city government refused to allow the Nazis to march in their town, the ACLU decended upon Skokie with all their unholy power. The Nazis wre given free lawyering by ACLU brownshirts. They argued that the hate speech and intimidation were protected by the First Amendment; sadly, they won.&lt;br /&gt;Along with defending hate rights, the ACLU also provides the services of their storm troopers to child pornagraphers, also free of charge.&lt;br /&gt;Over the last few years the ACLU has been on a campaign to destroy the public display of Christian values. Their victories include the removing of the Ten Commandments in Alabama, the ban on prayer at VMI, and removing of a small cross on the LA County Seal... because that might bother atheists, pagans, and other infidels.&lt;br /&gt;I'll do my best to follow and report on the evil doings of the ACLU. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8044614-109327651663951330?l=swordoffreedom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/feeds/109327651663951330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8044614&amp;postID=109327651663951330' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109327651663951330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8044614/posts/default/109327651663951330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swordoffreedom.blogspot.com/2004/08/storm-troopers-introduction.html' title='Storm Troopers: Introduction'/><author><name>J.
