Right Wing raises army of lawyers to fight 'war on Christmas'
I thought these dumb hypocritical bastards hated lawyers and frivolous lawsuits. Then again, I'm expecting integrity from pond scum.

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20051214-124822-6606r.htm

The "soldiers" lined up for the fight are 832 lawyers ready to charge any municipality or public school that dares excise the mention or observance of the world's most widely celebrated holiday.
A framed poster near the entrance asks: "Have you ever experienced discrimination because you are a Christian?" It hints at the philosophical bent of the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Christian legal group based here.

Scientists switch from lab rats for testing to lawyers.
It seems there are no shortage of lawers lining up for these tests.
Sources close to the scientists say this alieviates the pressure from animal rights activists, and there are things that even rats refuse to do.

3. Christians reap the discrimination they sow...
The basic tenet of the Christian faith is that it is the ONLY way to know god or have salvation. When they start with such a discriminatory view of all other beliefs and philosophies, it's little wonder why they're experiencing an anti-Christian backlash.

Christians think they're being persecuted when they aren't allowed to persecute everyone else.

4. Yes, we have our dedicated resident ADF bully in my fine ..
suburb of Murrieta, Ca.

He apparently received special legal training in exchange for promising to devote so many pro bono hours to 'constitutional issues.'

Then there are two 'Christian' attorneys who help in these cases who are based locally; one of them has written the most disgusting anti-gay material I have ever seen.

I have noticed that they go around with 'discrimination' nonsense, and somehow the local yokels at the hardright churches are encouraged to bring these suits.

One kid from a town slightly south wore an anti-gay t-shirt to school, and that one is still being appealed.

9. For God's sake
they make up 95% of America and control the media, the voting machines, and all 3 branches of government, is that not enough? No, they will not be "free of persecution" until they control the hearts minds and bodies of everyone in the nation.:grr:
