Primer: The ACLU is populated by lawyers. There, I managed to spit that horrid word out without throwing up in my mouth. These lawyers oppose H.R. 2679, the Public Expression of Religion Act of 2005, because "it would eliminate the ability for judges to award attorney’s fees compensation to groups like the ACLU in Establishment Clause cases only. These fees where originally authorized by CONGRESS so that good attorneys wouldn’t be dissuaded from accepting civil rights cases pro bono." In other words, the money-factory would be shutdown, and anything that cuts off even a trickle of funds to these sharks is something they'll fight tooth and nail to prevent. And of course they site the 1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
I'm not going to get into semantics, but no, there is no actual "seperation of church and state". Just as there is nowhere to be found in the bible "God works in mysterious ways." The "Seperation" gig used to refer to the Founders belief that a government should not force any particular religion upon it's people, but has been bastardized to mean whatever the Loons want it to mean.
I myself get queasy whenever government monies are allocated for ANY religious activity because it does begin to blur the lines between public and private beliefs and I don't like it when someone tries to waves their privates at me. The lefties take this to the extreme because they are, above all, exhibitionists, and want THEIR beliefs held on high and no one elses. But that's the risk you take whenever religion enters the picture, so why can't we keep it in our hearts and show the world that we're not so very afraid that if we don't advertise our deities they'll slink away in a snit. That's what bumper stickers are for. Not government buildings.
