leroydb 0 #1 September 5, 2006 ....What A Great Idea!!! Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early (really early) so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list. Fun with the ACLU...... Wanna have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year. As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN, card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world. Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it, Here's the Address, just don't be rude or crude. (It's Not the Christian Way, you know!) ACLU 125 Broad Street 18th Floor New York, NY 10004 Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend 39 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a "Holiday Tree". . . . It's a Christmas Tree even in the fields!! And pass this on to your email lists. W e really want to communicate with the ACLU! They really DESERVE us!!Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

kelpdiver 2 #9 September 5, 2006 the funny thing is the ACLU defends your right to mail bomb them. Many of them are likely Christians, too. And literate enough to understand the 1st Amendment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #10 September 5, 2006 Quotethe funny thing is the ACLU defends your right to mail bomb them. I'd like to see their argument for that. Should be as rich as defending NAMBLA.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTAVercetti 0 #15 September 5, 2006 You are a private citizen, correct? Then the ACLU supports your ability to send them a Christmas card. --NOT a card-carrying member of the ACLU.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Andy9o8 2 #16 September 5, 2006 QuoteAs they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday Very few people who actually believe this have a full set of teeth, and they tend to be married to their cousins. By the way, your avatar looks like an ultrasound of a fetus about to be aborted. Of course, as you know, in ACLU-Land, abortions will be mandatory: every woman will be required to have at least one. If you think this post sounds idiotic, what can I say? I'm just getting into the spirit. 3, 2, 1, SC? Edit: ALSO --NOT a card-carrying member of the ACLU.

wildblue 7 #17 September 5, 2006 I <3 snopes: Origins: This piece first began circulating at the tail end of 2005, during the so-called "War on Christmas" controversy over (among other things) some businesses' eschewing use of the phrase "Merry Christmas" in favor of "Happy Holidays" (or some other non-Christmas-specific wording). It resurfaced again in August 2006, well ahead of that year's holiday season. As a call to action, the scheme this article proposes (i.e., flooding the ACLU with Christmas cards) has several serious flaws: * It is based on the erroneous assumption that the ACLU engaged in litigation and related tactics to pressure businesses and other entities into dropping the use of the word "Christmas" in favor of non-religious references during the holiday season. This was not the case. Some manufacturers and retailers opted in 2005 (and earlier years) to use religiously-neutral wording in describing their goods and services during the holiday season that runs from November to January, but they did so because they felt such a move would appeal to a broader customer base, not because they were urged or pressured into doing so by the ACLU. * The ACLU headquarters on Broad Street in New York is quite well-staffed, and they could easily divert resources to temporary Christmas-card opening duty in the mailroom for a few weeks without "freezing their operations" in the process. * Private, unsolicited contributions sent by U.S. Mail constitute a relatively small portion of the ACLU's operating budget, and most of those are sent through local affiliate offices, not through the main office in New York. Therefore, if a temporary spate of Christmas cards really threatened to interfere with their operations, the Broad Street office could simply throw the cards away unopened without fear that they were losing a significant amount of financial contributions as a result. Above all, perhaps, one might consider whether engaging in deliberate deception and attempting to sabotage an organization's operations over a chimera isn't the antithesis of what Christmas (and Christianity itself) is supposed to be about.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
