Question:

Why doesn't the ACLU try to stop the gigantic menorah from being hoisted on the White House lawn every year?

I thought the ACLU believed in seperation between religion, or chuch and the state, so why don't they have a problem with the Chabad Lubavitch

Answer:

Chabad is not a supremacist group...that's seriously ignorant. They are basically an evangelical branch of Judaism. They're no more supremacist than any other group.
The Supreme Court has already ruled that the menorah--like the Xmas tree--is not a religious symbol and can therefore be displayed on public land.
Is that really a top concern for you? If you are really that bothered by what the white house puts in it's lawn, you may want to ask yourself why. I think you should worry about your own lawn, and your own life for that matter. There are always going to be people out there, doing things you don't approve of, or doing things you would never conceive of doing. Guess what? That is okay. This is America, remember? ^_^
If the White House has a Christmas tree why cant they have a Menorah? Chabad is a religious Jewish organization. They are orthodox Jews. Why do you say they are racist?
They defend first amendment rights, but they are not anti-Hannukah nor anti-Christmas - that is a myth.
