For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “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.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

ACLU tried to hide attack on monument

The Alliance Defense Fund successfully defended the display of a Ten Commandments monument on Friday against a challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU had tried to have the monument declared unconstitutional, and had tried to hide the fact that it was behind the lawsuit. 

MUSKOGEE, Okla. — A federal court today agreed with the arguments of ADF attorneys and determined that a Ten Commandments monument erected with private funds on a county courthouse lawn is constitutional, thwarting a legal challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union.
“Even the ACLU would have to admit that abstaining from lying, cheating, and stealing are ideals that all Americans should value,” said ADF Senior Counsel Kevin Theriot.  “The morals set forth in the Ten Commandments have been a vital part of American values throughout history.  The government’s acknowledgment of this historical fact does not create a constitutional crisis.”
The ACLU had originally submitted a motion to the court requesting that its name be held in confidentiality so that the public and any jury would not know that it was behind the suit.  The request became moot when the case went to trial without a jury.

Read the entire press release on the ADF website (emphasis added).

The monument was erected with private funds and sits among other monuments erected with private funds. The ACLU tried to have it removed as an unconstitutional establishment of religion, and they tried to hide this from the public.

I guess they don't want the public to know that their agenda isn't really about protecting our civil liberties. They wouldn't want the public to know that they're trying to erode every public expression of Christian faith that they can after all. Even though that seems to be a large part of their agenda.

The ACLU was founded by people who wanted to replace our current form of government with classic socialism or communism. To achieve that end, they have to tear at the foundations of our culture and part of that is their continued attack on Christian expression. They just don't want you to know about it.
