Its about time we got something like this on the right:

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- 'Tis the season to fight folly. Troops are massed on the ground floor of a nondescript, green-glassed building that's become ground zero for an annual campaign to defend Christmas.

The "soldiers" lined up for the fight are 832 lawyers ready to charge any municipality or public school that dares excise the mention or observance of the world's most widely celebrated holiday.

A framed poster near the entrance asks: "Have you ever experienced discrimination because you are a Christian?" It hints at the philosophical bent of the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Christian legal group based here.

The phones are busy in Scottsdale. The first week of December alone brought in 159 calls from around the country for legal advice on everything from protecting creches at city hall to what to do when a school in Wisconsin changes the first line of "Silent Night" to "Cold in the night, no one in sight."

It is a bit sad that we have to do this, but the radical secularists really leave us no choice. If we are not to live in a society in which God and religion have been banned in the public square, then we must fight it out in the liberal's chosen battlefield...the courts.

In our weird modern world, "Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" is considered on the left to be a murky passage needing much clarification...meanwhile, for those of us who don't live in the strange world of liberalism, all that says is that goverment can't force us to worship a particular way, nor prevent anyone from worshipping their own particular way. It takes a liberal lawyer to confuse the very plain and straighforward words in our Constitution...and it will take conservative laywers to untangle the liberal legal knots we've been tied up in.
