one lonely success

this afternoon, i was dropping off my dry cleaning and saw this little gem. apparently the owner of this 1985 chevy astro van wants us to “support the cross, not the ACLU”. i wonder what the owner is trying to say with this bold-little-adhesive-statement?

if we were to heed this advice and supported the cross and not the ACLU, then i wonder who would have stepped up during Brown vs. The Board of Education or Reynolds vs. Sims or even Tinker v. Des Moines? should we have depended on the cross for guidance during these landfall cases? would inspiration really have come from the crucifixion or its subsequent religious fallout?

brothers and sisters, the argument could be made that the vast majority of the aforementioned cases had to be fought because “honorable, white, christian men” created laws that trampled on civil rights.

friends, we have so much work to do…
