ROFLMAO...I just heard where the ACLU is preparing to sue the Governor of Georgia for his public display of a prayer for rain.
Seems Georgia has been in one heck of a drought, and things became soooooooo desperate the Governor was willing to try anything to get it rain...Funny how they seem to rely on God last. Anyway, he holds a public pryer vigil for rain, and guess what...it's been freaking rainin since the day after the public prayer session.
This has peeved the ACLU, because on the surface it appears God really does answer prayers...LOL! So now the ACLU will sue to ban elected officials from publicly praying...unless of course it's to Allah, Buda, or some Golden Calf crap...
Wow, the ACLU never ceases to amaze me. I wonder if any of them realized IT'S FREAKING RAINING in drought starved GEORGIA!!!! As it says in that old black book: The "wise" shall become FOOLS!"
Any thoughts????

The ACLU is a joke.

Just because they sue doesn't mean they will win. The ACLU has defended all sorts of people on all sorts of issues even neocons. Sometimes I agree with them and sometimes I don't. On this one I disagree with the ACLU. I wonder if we had an Indian shaman to dance around rattling a gord and shaking a feather or two it would have been better for them.
The fact shows that global warming has hit the South East hard and in desparation people will do anything to get vitally needed water. Whether one believes in a supreme being or not the fact is it couldn't hurt to pray for rain. Nothing else was working. Interestingly, although it wasn't much, after the prayer sesson it did rain. Coincidence? Maybe and maybe not. Is it important? Nope. The fact that Georgia has started seeing water fall from the sky is what is important. What made it do that isn't nearly as important as the rain itself.

What does ACLU stand for anyway .... isn't it the "American" civil liberties union..... well i do believe they are suing some one from praying which is our right to do as an American citizen..... they should start calling themselves .CCLU the Communist civil liberties union....
the following quote came off of the front page of the aclus website..."We must preserve the protections and the checks and balances in the Constitution against government abuses of power that violate our rights and values."
\..... Now aren't the contradicting themselves ... i do believe they are..... um yeah that speaks for itself they are damaging the very thing they say they are trying to protect when in reality it is just a bunch of atheists no wanting to have a God to own up to .... so they started a group named the ACLU and started attacking CHRISTIANS..... if you notice no other religions are ever sued by the ACLU ..... something sounds a little fishy to me.....what do you think?

I've seen nothing to support your claim that the ACLU is planning any action on this, and, of course, nothing anywhere to support the claim that the ACLU is only against Christianity. The frequent claim that the ACLU is only opposed to Christianity simply isn't supported by the facts.
And, if, as you imply, the rain since the prayer is proof of god, then is the fact that the rain isn't expected to provide any relief from the drought proof that god has a mean sense of humor?

This is from The Spoof which claims that their stories are entirely FICTITIOUS. Some bloggers evidently do not recognize a parody when the read one.

While I don't agree with everything the ACLU does, I believe thay are a neccessary evil. Like it or not...they sure want to protect the first amendment, and considering the number or attacks that amendment has taken lately....I'm thinking the ACLU is a good thing.

What is amazing is that if the governer had denied Native Americans for a rain dance to their God, the ACLU would have tried to sue them for not providing religion on State grounds.

The ACLU only cares about making sure that you and I don't display any type of religious preference in public and making sure that illegals get to stay in the country as long as possible.
The group was founded by a freakin communist for goodness sake!

well.. other than the obvious rant quality of your post... I do agree that if this is true (I haven't looked it up in the news yet) I have to agree that they are overstepping their bounds. Who cares if he prayed with some people. He didn't force anyone to pray with him and he didn't try to change any government institution into a religious institution.... So they really have no grounds to sue.

Well, they also defended drug head Rush limbaugh.
Also, I believe it is kinda dumb to pray to some fake sky god anyway,
Praying does as much good as a RAIN DANCE, but I wouldn't sue.

Oh puhlease, the ACLU cares about as much about the silly publicity stunt as the invisible sky god does about rain in Ga.
And guess what? No rain today!
