ACLU and the Ten Commandments

As I look out my office window, I have a mildly obstructed view of the largest capital building in the United States, seven feet taller than the Capitol in DC. Austin is a progressive liberal city and definitely an anomaly in Texas and much of the south and southwest. In recent days, the city has been watching the most recent attempt to remove a Ten Commandments monument at a state building. The monument is placed on the capitol lawn and has been there for decades and now the United States Supreme Court has to make a decision on its legality. Really, who cares? Why are these ultraliberals wasting "political capital" on this issue? I am not concluding that this is a democrat party attempt at banishing such displays. I do believe that most people who support the banishing of religious displays of this sort are ultraliberals. The issue is that Republicans will be quick to paint this as the democrats up to their nutty ways again picture. This is what the Republicans do, this is at what they are good. I am sure that if I turned on Rush Limbaugh right now, he would be exclaiming that "liberals", which he uses synonymous with democrats, are trying to take away god in American society. My point, choose your battles wisely and realize when you are putting the political gun to your head. These same ultraliberals are the ones who hate Bush, but they are sitting here giving ammunition to the Republicans for 2008. The ACLU is also backing this litigation. I received a membership request in the mail and had my check filled out ready to be sent. After this, I will not join and I think the ACLU does very good things in its attempt to protect our constitutional rights. My issue is not with the religious display, I would prefer it not be there, but again, who cares. Geez, get a grip!
