I just love these young men and women for their courage to stand up in the face of America’s enemy and demonstrate real civil liberties!!

We should send them kudo emails! We all need to do the same thing these young people did in the places the lefties are attacking us day in and day out!

Made my day :)

UNREAL! The students should be given an award and recognized for their accomplishment. They stood up to the ACLU (Anti-Christian Lawyers Union) and their co-conspirator (the Judge). Now, if only we can get others to stand up and fight…

By the way, does anyone know what ACLU office it was that handled this case? I’d like to call and see if they plan on suing the individual students who participated (and to rub it in a little). :)

BEAUTIFUL. It’s nice to see kid’s rebelling against the new religion of tolerance and PC. I wish I could have been there. That had to be an incredible moment.

Thanks for the good news. We sure don’t hear enough of it.

The ACLU has won one battle: Most Americans believe “civil liberties” are rooted in American law and tradition. They are not. The term first entered jurisprudence in the 1940s.

The phrase used in English common law, Blackstone and the Federal Papers was “civil liberty”.

The singular did make a difference. “Civil liberty” was the freedom to do what one should do within a framework which upon liberty for all.

“Civil liberaties” however is egocentric. I will do darn well what I want even if it sinks the freedom of all.

Which is exactly what the ACLU wants.

Maybe if it was a Muslim prayer the ACLU would have been ok with it.

There’s something I just don’t understand…Isn’t atheism/secularism a religion? Are fools that claim they are their own god be practicing a religion? Honestly, I don’t know if I’m right on this one, it is logically shaky, but isn’t self worship…worship? Why should I be forced to conform to their religion. Is that not an infringement on MY freedom?

I saw Da Venci Code, it was WEAK! Won’t last long.

But there’s enough “historical” scenes that the libs will use it to sway even more young people away from the Catholic Church.

What these Kentucky HS graduates did is very inspirational. Thank God for their courage and wit, and Thank God too for the people who stood and applauded them!!

Kudos to these kids! They have more courage than America’s leftists: yellow-bellied adults and students all! This is proof that we can and should reject ACLU tyranny.

True justice would be for all of the ACLU’s ‘triumphs’ to become defeats and for all activist judges and their preposterous decisions to be seen and treated as the rubbish they truly are.

Quick, round them up and send them to the re-education camps at Harvard, Yale, and the California University system before it’s too late!!

That’s what the ACLU is thinking.

This was a great story.

Normally, I hate the heckler’s veto. Nothing is worse than a bunch of shouting idiots trying to shout down a guy giving a speech in the name of “freedom of speech.”

However, this does not seem to be the case here. In this case, some judge took it upon himself to tell these kids what they could or couldn’t say. And they weren’t having any part of that. So they prayed, just like they wanted to, and just like this judge tried to forbid.

Way to go Kentucky!!!

Anyway, I suppose I could spend more time trying to hammer out a good logical explanation of my position here. But, time is short. Gotta go. Good job, Graduates.

AS I HAVE ALWAYS STATED—90 % OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GOOD , DECENT , GOD-FEARING CITIZENS . UNFORTUNATELY , WE USUALLY ONLY HEAR ABOUT THE OTHER 10%. THANKS FOR POINTING THIS OUT.

Maybe there’s hope for the kids after all….

The senior class at a southern Kentucky high school gave their response Friday night to a federal judge’s order banning prayer at commencement. About 200 seniors stood during the principal’s opening remarks and began reciting the Lord’s Prayer, p…

Now that’s a wonderful form of protest! And for a right reason, too. Of course, the radical left probably can’t stand it. They would rather see students spitting on Army recruiters or something.

GOD – NO; ALLAH – YES…

Compare and contrast… In Dallas, a school district strikes the words “In God We Trust” from the photo of an enlarged nickel on a yearbook cover for fear of offending students of differing religions. In California, the 9th Circuit Court……

Hey Allah, go to the “the one with a brain” blog (click on it in the link from this story) and click on his archived blog “first and 10″. It is an UNBELIEVABLY nasty dump on Michelle. Nastiest thing I have yet to read on the net. Like people say, when idiots have nothing to say of import, they fall into slinging crap. This guy does it BIG TIME.

Now that is funny, perhaps the Judge will get the message, probably not. The ACLU is probably going to file another lawsuit, of course, they don’t need much of an excuse anymore.

Wouldn’t it be cool if the ACLU actually cared about civil liberties?

Wow….maybe there is hope after all. What a great way to say we’ve finally had enough and tell the ACLU to stuff it.
