They didn't know that the town of Fulton had displayed a nativity scene for years. Someone must have tattled because now the ACLU is suing the town of Fulton about it. Nothing new there. These folks are the watchdogs of our nation. Like many other watchdogs, they don't always know who to bite, or even why. So.... they bite anyone.
As a young bicyclist and paper boy I hated dogs. They caused me many a wreck as I kicked in vain at their snapping jaws. I had torn jeans and even a wound or two from watchdogs that took off after everyone. They hated postmen even more than paperboys.They saw everyone as a threat of some kind.
I guess we should organize and march and protest and scream obcenities at whoever or whatever. I don't think I will do that. Instead, this Christmas season, the Lord willing, I will display a Nativity scene on my front lawn. Jesus won't be in a sleigh and the Wisemen won't be Mickey and Minnie and Pluto. It will be a real Christmas Nativity scene.
You see, we don't do that much anymore. Santa and Disney have taken over. We did get the stores attention, and some backed off of Happy Holidays in place of Merry Christmas. Why don't we set aside this coming December all the Rudolph scenes and portray the real one? Let's not leave it to our town or city to do it for us.
To be honest, I can't even remember the Nativity Scene in Fulton, and it is eight blocks away from our house. More people will see it this year...thanks to the guys and gals of ACLU who didn't have a clu what attention they might bring, not to themselves, but to a simple scene of Christmas in a small South Texas town.
