ACLU Nativity Scene
2006-12-01
From a press release of the Young Conservatives of Texas at UT Austin. Hat tip Gates of Vienna.
AUSTIN, TX – The Young Conservatives of Texas - University of Texas Chapter announced today that they will be displaying an “ACLU Nativity Scene” on the West Mall of the University of Texas campus on Monday and Tuesday, December 4th and 5th. The group’s intent is to raise awareness on the extremity of the ACLU, and bring to light its secular-progressive efforts to remove Christmas from the public sphere. The display, the first of its kind in the nation, will feature characters that are quite a bit different than the standard crèche.

“We’ve got Gary and Joseph instead of Mary and Joseph in order to symbolize ACLU support for homosexual marriage, and of course there isn’t a Jesus in the manger,” said Chairman Tony McDonald. “The three Wise Men are Lenin, Marx, and Stalin because the founders of the ACLU were strident supporters of Soviet style Communism. The whole scene is a tongue-in-cheek way of showing the many ways that the ACLU and the far left are out of touch with the values of mainstream America.”

The scene will also display a terrorist shepherd and an angel in the form of Nancy Pelosi.
This is going to get them a date with the Sub-Associate Dean for Student Affairs, I just know it.
“The ACLU and other left-wing extremist groups are working diligently to destroy American’s rights to the free expression of religion,” said Executive Director Joseph Wyly. “We’ve already seen in Chicago an attempt to censor the nativity by a city government this week. It’s just more evidence that there is a War on Christmas being waged by the far-left in this country.”

#7  To be fair, the YCT are a bunch of rich fratboy assholes. I'm conservative myself, but these people are priviliged jerks born with silver spoons in their mouths.

Hey! I was not! :p I was in the group when I was at UTexas in the early 90s. They sponsered a speaker (I forget who it was) who came and gave Oliver North's presentation that he used to raise money for the Contras. I loved the Soviet-supplied Sandinista helicopter with the "Agricultural rocket launchers" on one slide. :)

#6  We need full disclosure of funding for both ACLU and CAIR. I've read in past that ACLU gets large donations from Ford Foundation and something sponsored by Rockefeller Trusts. Also, the swine Soros provides funding. As to CAIR, I suspect nearly all comes from Saoodis, but I'd like to see it documented on front pages.

#5  If I were them, I'd do this and get ProtestWarrior on the phone. PW could be ready at a moment's notice, in case the ACLU loving goons decide to get diverse on the YCT and rough 'em up. I LOVE it!

#1  Am I the only one who wonders whether the ACLU gets funding from the Majic Kingdom? Nature abhors a vacuum. If the ACLU can eliminate Christianity in this country some other religion must step in to fill the void. Voila! Wahhabis to the rescue.
