What do you know. I start my first blog and I make a mistake right off the bat. I did say there were TWO issues in the news that have gotten my attention. I have mentioned the first one. The second one is an issue in one of Florida's northern counties. It is another Ten Commandments issue on government property that the ACLU had to get involved in. The problem centers around a small town, mostly Catholics, that have the Ten Commandments displayed in their government center. It has been there for quite some time, however someone decided that it was "offensive" for this small town to somehow show that their town hall sponsors religion. The catch to all this is one of astonishment. The ACLU was made aware of this display and was fully prepared to go ahead with a lawsuit to have it removed. The thing is that it took them almost six months to FIND someone in that town to support their cause. As far as I know that is unheard of. The ACLU usually has no problems with supporters of their fanantical beliefs. People come to them constantly wanting their backing regarding "constitutional" issues. Not in this town. This is not some prima donna city that wants to national media flying down upon them. They are a quiet, keep to themselves, town. Why does the ACLU have to hunt for things to prosecute. Why does the ACLU constantly think they are acting in the best interests of the American public. The ACLU may think they are the citizen's watchdog, but they need to lighten up.
