Christmas Wars On: Thomas More Law Center Asks Christians to Retake the Public Square for Christmas Tuesday, November 25, 2008ANN ARBOR, MI — For the last several years, the Thomas More Law Center, a national nonprofit public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has been successfully defending the right of Christians to display nativity scenes on public property and to celebrate Christmas in public schools. In years past and still today, the Law Center has asked thousands of supporters to go on the offensive – where there has been no nativity display before, ask the government for permission to erect one; where the government has allowed a religious display of another faith, ask that a nativity display be erected on the same property as well; where there is a public forum for the exercise of free speech, ask for permission to erect a nativity display.Every year the Law Center sends its hundreds of affiliated attorneys across the nation a legal memo on how to deal with the war on Christmas in their area. The Law Center has successfully defended the proper celebration of this national holiday in numerous cases.Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center commented, “The ACLU’s war on Christmas is really a war on Christians. With few exceptions and then only to create a diversion from their real target, the ACLU avoids going after religious symbols of other faiths. Despite the fact that over 80 percent of Americans are Christians, the ACLU has bullied elected representatives and school officials to eradicate the public celebration of Christmas under threat of lawsuits. Municipalities and schools should be aware that the systematic exclusion of Christmas symbols during the holiday season is not warranted, and such exclusion itself could be inconsistent with the Constitution and subject them to a possible lawsuit.â€

We are allowing way too many people to have a say in what goes on as it relates to law, government, traditions, unity, and this is diluting and dissolving us as Americans and robbing us of the foundation and history on which this nation has gloried and celebrated. "Squabbling" nation comes to mind, and the squabbling has resulted in the American people slowly losing their expression and displays of Christmas among other things to accommodate anything and everything except those things that relate to Christ or even the secular celebration of Christmas with trees.



Psalm 27:1-6

We need to use the "culture" argument. Those scenes are part of the "culture." After all that's what is used by Muslims when they put footbaths in govt. buildings. It's not "religious"...it's "cultural".
