Easy Targets: "Elementary Students to Stop Reciting God Bless America After ACLU Threatens Legal Action." Why Doesn't the ACLU Ever Go After the Big Boys?

For example: "God Bless America," of course, is routinely performed during Major League Baseball games (sometimes with a big-boobed old lady standing next door), including in the many MLB ballparks that are publicly owned -- where attendees must hear the song, just like at the public school at issue (link below), lest they frantically scurry their way to the protection of the shithouse.

So why do we never hear about the ACLU goin' after that big dog, MLB? The terms hypocrites and chickenshits immediately come to mind, since perhaps the ACLU ain't so interested in hitting targets that would actually have the resources to defend themselves and fight back???

But I gots a suggestion for these apparently highly choosy litigators of the ACLU: Maybe you wouldn't have to fight the MLB ballparks and teams all the way to an all-or-nothing resolution? Maybe seek out some of those squishy "compromise" or "grand bargain" concepts that you leftists and your media are always trumpeting (i.e., give them most all of what they want, and they'll toss any dissenters a few bones)?

Here's my compromising thought for such a bargain: First, the ACLU agrees to permit performance of "God Bless America" at the ballgame, but only on the evening of the first Saturday of every other month (sort of like the Hilary Clinton debate schedule)...

In turn, MLB agrees to replace the song during all other games with a haunting rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "America" -- a nice little song with nary a single reference to that awful G-Word (even if the song does single out a man wearing a gabardine suit, which ridicule some may find offensive).

So can we broker a deal over here? Have I found some common ground between the the Abner Doubledays and the asshats? Please: Just elect the Rager grand-bargain-striker-in-chief, and do it yesterday.
