It's too bad people in this country don't believe in civil rights anymore. Some day they'll be gone, and we'll wish we had an ACLU to keep the government honest.
I am quite shocked at how many of you have no idea what the ACLU is or was. It was founded in the 20's by Communists as a means to attack the government from within. It turned into a citizen serving entity after WWII. In the 60's it began to be used as a polictical tool again, being run by liberals attacking anything or anyone pro conservative, religous, or traditional. Today the national organization is run by ultra liberal left wing socialist zealots who once again are trying to remove any and all personal responsibility and religous freedoms in this country. There are many local chapters in the country that still do help the little guy, but as for the national organization:
They defend pedophiles, attack morality, attack the boyscouts, attack small towns that can't afford to go up against them concerning the ten commandments ect...It in fact has turned into what they claim to defend. They support the rights of the one rather than the rest. They in fact do what the terrorists are trying now, using our own courts and freedoms and form of government against all of us. For what? So one pedophile doesn't have to register on a list? So a private organization like the Boy Scouts have to let in an atheist or a homosexual because they don't like their' rules? Oh and because the Boy Scouts are a "religous" organization they can't meet at your local school or be sponsored or meet at a military base. So nambla members can practice their sickness on our children? So terrorists caught on the battlefield during a war, and on foreign soil can have the exact same rights we as citizens have? How exactly is that saving our liberties? Not allow a church to rent space at a school after hours? Ah but wait, they'll defend your religous rights if you are a Muslim. It's ok to blare the call to prayer on megaphones 5 times a day all over your town if you have a mosque nearby. But wait, if you are Christian, those steeple bells you've heard in this country for 232 years offended someone so you can't do that anymore. Stop bags from being randomly searched before boarding public transportation? It would seem to me they protect their own wacko ideology and not the downtroden anymore. You supporters of the ACLU in it's current form and leadership really need to look into them quite a bit more before you so happily advertise you are a card carrying memeber. I would be quite ashamed an embarrassed.
And by the way, the ACLU has nothing to do with "watching the government". I should think you learned in elementary school that it is the constitutionaly protected media who "watches", it is the separation of powers, ie... the 3 branches of government that have checks and balances. Alas you may not have learned that in public school because American history isn't really needed in todays world. But your children will learn how to place a condom over your willy, and oral sex really isn't sex, and why the military is so bad, and how this country was really founded by white slave owner terrorists. Oh and Lincoln was really bad for the country too and didn't really free the slaves. Oh and it really wasn't those racist Republicans that supported the Civil rights act of 1964 it was us, your loyal Democrat teacher that did. One of those racist Democrats are still there(grand wizard Byrd of Virginia), he's seen the light now. In the people's republic of California one school district is trying to stop any reference to the US Constitution because: OMG, it says GOD in it. It really sucks to be free doesn't it.
The only thing that will continue to eat away at our civil liberties are PC'ers and activist judges who make up law from the bench and rely on FORIEGN law and world ideas such as that wonderful Supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Oh and she just happened to have run the ACLU. Flame away and forgive any spelling errors. Useful idiots is an applicable phrase here.
