First Katrina, now the ACLU

Slidell, Louisiana after Katrina--October 25, 2005

Slidell, Louisiana was attacked mercilessly by hurricane Katrina. The hurricane destroyed homes, schools, churches, anything that got in its way. It has no compassion, no morals, it had a path and whatever was in the path was flooded, crushed or both.

These pictures were taken by my wife when she went down to Louisiana with a team from our church top help rebuild a destroyed church in Slidell. The destruction was beyond anything they had imagined. The economic impact was even worse as few people had jobs left to go to, which left most unable to afford to rebuild.

This is not the same street as the other photo. The hurricane tossed numerous boats across the town.

Time has passed and Slidell is still rebuilding and the people are slowly getting back on their feet economically so they can begin to attempt the long trek back to normalcy.

Then came "hurricane" ACLU.

 From ABCNews...

The American Civil Liberties Union sued Judge Jim Lamz of Slidell, La., earlier this month for refusing to take down a portrait of Jesus Christ above the words "To know peace, obey these laws" displayed in a courthouse lobby. The judge says he believes the picture is legal, and the mayor of the city — the mayor and the town are also named in the lawsuit — called the ACLU "America's Taliban."...

The town is represented in the suit by the Christian-inspired Alliance Defense Fund, which might be called the right-wing version of the ACLU.

"[The ACLU is] one of the worst attackers of religious speech in America," Gary McCaleb, senior legal counsel for the ADF, told ABC News.

Defending itself against the mindless onslaught of "hurricane" ACLU, the city of Slidell will have to spend money it desperately needs to help the people of Slidell recover from hurricane Katrina. One must wonder if the ACLU chose Slidell for their latest assault of the Constitution and Christianity because Slidell is still trying to recover from Katrina.

All because the bigots in the ACLU want to abuse the court system to impose their own religious hatred on the rest of the nation.
