That doesn't make it right.

As far as gay scouts, I seem to remember an eagle scout getting his stuff taken away from him because he was gay, am I wrong?

If I'm right that's fluffied up.

And mighty you're confusing pedophilia with homosexuality.

Los Angeles County is a county, not a city, and has a Board of Supervisors, not a 'council'. And they will not be 'replacing' the old county seals, only the new ones ordered will be different.

Do you make a conscious effort to be ill-informed?

No I'm not. Both are mental illness that should not be allowed around kids.

Besides I read some where (I'll have to find the article again) that over 80% of child molesters (non- family members) were gay.

Stories that are made up? Or do you selectively forget things like that?

It did'nt matter if police violated The Constitution of The United States. Stupid ACLU.

The ACLU is similiar to the unions...they've not only outlived their usefulness, but carry a political agenda that propogates income for their organizations.

Well, I do remember that they had a reporter that was making up stories, that they canned. That doesn't make me assume that every story they publish is a lie. If you do, why did you use their story for your post?

You need to go back and carefully read my post. It is no secret , the purpose of the ACLU is to destroy Christianity. They want every ones rights to be granted by Government. Our system of Government was based on the premise of "God given rights". The Declaration of Independence spells this out. "Endowed by their Creator (God) with certain "inalieable rights" (Unchangeable not up to debate}. It was the Declaration of Independence that made the Constitution possible.

Does anyone even like you? Quit being an arse, 1. The story I read was that under agreement the "board" would have to replace all the old seals, 2. The majority of their constituents did not want this. and 3. They just rolled over and bowed down to the demands of the ACLU.

Now you tell me. WHat does your post have to do AT ALL with the topic? You can chew up my post all you want but the mesage is still there.

Wrong.

The ACLU stops public officials from using their government powers to promote a religion.

Got it?

Not really.

That's asking quite alot.

>>1. The story I read was that under agreement the "board" would have to replace all the old seals,

The story you read was wrong. They just aren't ordering any more of the old symbols for business cards, vehicle stickers, etc.

>>2. The majority of their constituents did not want this.

Probably, there wasn't a vote on it. I am a member of the ACLU and I think this case was a waste of time myself.

>>3. They just rolled over and bowed down to the demands of the ACLU.

3 of the 5 decided not to spend more money fighting a case they were advised by County Counsel they would lose. If the people don't like it they can vote them out, but that hasn't happend to a LA County Supervisor in over 20 years.

>>Now you tell me. WHat does your post have to do AT ALL with the topic? You can chew up my post all you want but the mesage is still there.

This is a topic about the ACLU.

You post, I correct.

Well let's line up those heathen Jews, Buddists,and Muslims and wipe them out. How dare they have the right to a religion other than yours! NOBODY EXPECTS THE AMERICAN INQUISITION!
