It is a statistical fact that Americans have been victimized by a 350% increase in crime (home grown terrorism) during the past 40-years-with little relief in sight. Much of that increase can be directly tracked to an increase in immorality in our nation. Immorality is not socially redeeming and in most cases it results in some type of crime or extreme behavior with great cost to society. Historically immorality has destroyed great nations. Rome is just one example. When we cut our way through all the media assigned labels in society today such as “liberal and conservative”, “Christian and atheist”, “left and right”, “good and evil”, “married and live-in”, “same-sex partners” we find a nation perhaps even the world in a culture war. America today is in fact in a political-culture war with the prize being immorality or morality. The immoral culture would create a utopia of peace without God and the moral culture would recognize God in all mortal affairs. That culture war is being vigorously waged in our homes, our communities, our towns, our states, our courts and our government with obvious social destruction. Under the guise of the great self-anointed guardian of American civil liberties, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has taken the side of immorality in the culture war. Americans are not stupid! A typical example was the loud and public applaud when the state of Massachusetts legislature voted down an amendment that would have defined marriage as between one man and one woman. Regarding that vote, Norma Shapiro, legislative director of the ACLU of Massachusetts said; “The peoples’ representatives spoke today, the process worked and the people have been heard as more and more constituents expressed support for equal treatment of families.” Those of us who believe that God is our creator also believe that it was HE that gave the blueprint for a “family” as being between a man and a woman. Note the subtle proselyting in the culture war by the ACLU spokeswoman of what constitutes “families.” The family is the laboratory of society. What comes out of that laboratory is exactly what you can expect in society. Today we have a 52% divorce rate and a growing percentage of live-ins. Many of those numbers evolve from a self-serving and selfish culture that desires instant pleasure. Track the results of these scenarios and we find millions of kids are the end victims-with far to many of these misplaced kids gravitating to gangs. Based upon historical precedent, the ACLU would champion the individual civil liberties involved in these situations at the expense and cost of obvious immorality. In a day when young people discard newborn babies in dumpsters, I find it preposterous that this great self-anointed group of lawyers would question the teaching of moral principles by a Christian basketball coach at the University of New Mexico-all under the guise of separation of church and state that is in fact a myth in the 1st Amendment of the U.S. constitution. When a coach would teach a young person to be as good a human being as well as a good athlete, I will take the coach’s side in the culture war every time as I believe most Americans would. Rather than meddling in a Christian coach’s moral teachings to athletes at the University of New Mexico-this group’s time could be much better spent fighting against the 159,000,000 million crimes committed against good Americans in the 13-year period ending in 2002. America is a great nation because it was established under God and through his inspiration our founding fathers drafted the greatest constitution and amendments in all of world history. That document is unequaled in liberties and freedoms. In all of man’s mortal weaknesses and flaws there is in fact a system in place as decreed in the constitution to protect our liberties and freedoms. Many of those early Americans and drafters of the constitution acknowledged God in their important work as the source of these liberties and freedoms and so expressed it in the Declaration Of Independence in 1776. America will remain a great nation as long as it recognizes God as the giver of all of our liberties and freedoms and the responsibilities that go with those liberties. When any group comes along under the guise of protecting our God given rights, liberties and freedoms and wants to remove God from the picture beware of that group. Historically the ACLU would remove God from our teachings, from our Government, from our pledge of allegiance, from many of our social interactions with each other and other vital areas of our society according to their own invented perception. Time for the ACLU to butt out!
