4. It's sad that idiots like ReclaimAmerica.org
can't understand the difference between a religious display in public and a religious display on publically owned grounds.

6. it's not "re" claim America
it's just claim America. Satanists? Oh my goodness - people who worship the devil right? Nevermind that AFIK they are actually closer to secular humanists than actual "worshippers".

What a bunch of loons. It's just the idea of a "devil" that cracks me up, and the fact that they believe in it that is even funnier.

don't you think that if he was all that powerful he would be popping up everywhere on talk shows, investing in the stock market with really LONG positions, eating virgins alive, randomly popping into trendy discos in a blaze of flame and brimstone and in general doing all kinds of things to increase his power base with really cool parlor tricks?

I mean, just because jeebus ran off after we humilified and crucified him and decided to ignore humanity for the past 2000 years, doncha think the devil would have maybe stepped in and put in a few memorable appearances while the cat was away?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh these people make me crazy!!

5. I love how they take aspects of several rulings,
distort them and place them out of context. "Legalized child pornography"? Shyaah. As for public demonstrations by Nazis and communists, notice the Klan is conspicuously missing.

8. I don't like some of the stuff they defend
But it is a personal thing. Like when they defended the KKK when the little nazi ghosts wanted to march down here somewhere in the south and couldn't get a permit.

However, free speech must be free, even for the nutjobs. I wish the ACLU were more discerning in their projects.
