A legal fight over courthouse displays of the Ten Commandments could cost two Southern Kentucky counties almost $400,000.
The Lexington Herald Leader reports the ACLU's lawyers filed a motion asking Pulaski and McCreary Counties to pay for the organization's legal expenses. The ACLU won its request to make the injunction against the displays permanent and federal rules say the losers in civil rights cases must pay the winner's legal fees.

What's wrong with the 10 commandments? If you forget just for a minute that they were supposedly written by God, it tells you things like it's wrong to kill, steal and covet things other's have, Honor your father and mother, etc. It's really just moral codes to live by. Moral codes that are sadly missing from many of peoples lives. No one respects each other anymore. The ACLU gets their underwear in a wad over these "rules to live by" and for some reason thinks everyone owes them money for displaying or expressing religion. People, show a little tolerance toward one another. If you don't like seeing the 10 commandments hanging on a wall..don't look at it. We've shown tolerance in having many things taken away from us that we value(thanks ACLU). You don't even have the option of praying in school anymore for fear of upsetting someone else.Let me pray if I want..I don't care if you do. I don't push it on anyone and don't expect you to harass me because of it. We have rights too!

Has anyone ever considered sueing the ACLU for violating our right to view THE 10 COMMANDMENTS in a public place. If the founding fathers had known then what we know now they probably would have told Great Britain to just keep us.

See, it doesn't boil down to differences in religion, it boils down to MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! If the ACLU was as "righteous" as they proclaim to be, fighting for the liberties of the oppressed, then the money wouldn't matter so much...yet again, political correctness at it's best!!
