The Nativity - ACLU Style
Dec. 1, 2006 at 8:12 PM
You gotta love the creativity of the Young Conservatives at the University of Texas. An ACLU Nativity Scene is to be displayed next week on campus to raise awareness about the progressive elimination of Christmas in the public square.
Al Mohler said it was "in season and on message." but it received mixed reviews here. The Daley Plaza, a Chicago marketplace won't show film clips on the grounds that it is too "commercial," but a public high school in Fairfax showed the movie in the school's theatre in the evening with the blessing of the ACLU.

"We've got Gary and Joseph instead of Mary and Joseph in order to symbolize ACLU support for homosexual marriage, and of course there isn't a Jesus in the manger," said Chairman Tony McDonald. "The three Wise Men are Lenin, Marx, and Stalin because the founders of the ACLU were strident supporters of Soviet style communism. The whole scene is a tongue-in-cheek way of showing the many ways that the ACLU and the far left are out of touch with the values of mainstream America."Speaking of the nativity, are you planning on seeing The Nativity Story? It opened today around the country.
The scene will also display a terrorist shepherd and an angel in the form of Nancy Pelosi.

Good for them! I'll have to remember to check next week to see what happened. Focus on the Family's "Plugged In" site has a nice review:

We saw it tonight and loved it! I highly recommend it for older kids. Unless you want to explain why the mean soldiers are hurting the babies and why the woman having a baby is screaming LOL. Oh and why they want to throw rocks at Mary :o
