Pour info pour ceux qui ne connaîtraient pas l'ACLU, c'est l'American Civil Liberties Union, un regroupement qui existe depuis 1920 aux USA et a pour mission de voir à la protection des droits civils, des minorités, etc.
En gros:
The mission of the ACLU is to preserve all of these protections and guarantees:
* Your First Amendment rights-freedom of speech, association and assembly. Freedom of the press, and freedom of religion supported by the strict separation of church and state.
* Your right to equal protection under the law - equal treatment regardless of race, sex, religion or national origin.
* Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.
* Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.
C'est une organisation majeure d'environ 500 000 membres et supporters qui s'occupent d'environ 6000 à 9000 cas juridiques par année.
Voici donc ce que vont faire les "Young Conservatives of Texas":
AUSTIN, TX – The Young Conservatives of Texas - University of Texas Chapter announced today that they will be displaying an “ACLU Nativity Scene” on the West Mall of the University of Texas campus on Monday and Tuesday, December 4th and 5th. The group’s intent is to raise awareness on the extremity of the ACLU, and bring to light its secular-progressive efforts to remove Christmas from the public sphere. The display, the first of its kind in the nation, will feature characters that are quite a bit different than the standard crèche.
“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.”
The scene will also display a terrorist shepherd and an angel in the form of Nancy Pelosi.
“The ACLU and other left-wing extremist groups are working diligently to destroy American’s rights to the free expression of religion,” said Executive Director Joseph Wyly. “We’ve already seen in Chicago an attempt to censor the nativity by a city government this week. It’s just more evidence that there is a War on Christmas being waged by the far-left in this country.”
Ce qui est amusant, c'est que nos conservateurs et les groupes les plus rétrogrades du Canada et du Québec mettent toujours environ 10 à 20 ans avant d'en venir à ce qui se fait actuellement aux USA en terme de mega-bullshit.
Pour preuve, ils commencent actuellement à vraiment faire des interventions et sorties publiques "pro-life", etc. Le gay-bashing est très à la mode dans certaines régions du Canada et commence à s'amplifier. Des groupes comme Fathers 4 Justice ont vu leur couverture médiatique exploser ces dernières années et ils sont maintenant présentés à plusieurs endroits comme des "intervenants crédibles", etc.
Quand même. Bien hâte de voir des scènes de la Nativité de ce genre à l'UdeM.
Edit: Qui sont les Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT)?! Selon leur site Internet:
Young Conservatives of Texas, a non-partisan conservative youth organization, has been fighting for conservative values for more than a quarter century in the Lone Star State and publishes the most respected ratings of the Texas Legislature. YCT has chapters at universities across Texas
Conservateurs non-partisans? Uhhh?!
