The ACLU and Liberals everywhere should offer their support for this
Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 04:59 PM by Walt Starr
Group Calls Christians to Flood Country with Nativity Scenes

To: National Desk

Contact: Dr. Charles Nestor, director of The Truth Matters, 863-698-2270, contact@thetruthmatters.com

LAKELAND, Florida, Oct. 25 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Dr. Charles Nestor, director of The Truth Matters, is announcing a project called "Operation Nativity" with the goal of having Christians across the country set up nativity scenes on their own property.

I am a non-Christian and I think that Liberal groups and the ACLU need to contact Truth Matters via email, snail mail, voice, and with public statements to offer our support for Christians putting up public nativity scene displays on their own private property and on the property owned by their churches!

Just not on the Court House lawn!

2. Well hell, Walt. I'm a Christian...
...and I gotta say, come Christmas time, I don't know what your neighborhood is like, but I think we got enough of the damn things.

There's more plastic Jesus, Mary & Josephs in this town than there are Democrats.

Call me scrooge, but I say tone it down.

5. I'm not sayin' they don't have the right...
It's more a matter of taste and good sense. I mean, incoming planes can't find the damn airport come Christmas Eve.

3. Yes, the ACLU should make a statement.
It won't hurt, but then on the other hand if conservatives are dense/manipulative enough to believe/act like they believe liberals are banning religious symbols to begin with, think might go in one ear and out the other to them.

6. I have no problem with nativity scenes on private property as long
as it isn't 1) public property and 2) isn't on my private property.
