ACLU uses fear of religious groups to raise money

The ACLU needs your help to defend our most basic freedoms! The Bush Administration is rolling back our rights in the name of homeland security . . . extremists on the Christian Right have the ear of the White House . . . and the federal judiciary is increasingly hostile to civil liberties. The need has never been greater for freedom-loving people to join the ACLU and take a stand against the growing threats to our most cherished Constitutional liberties. Check the box below to become a card-carrying member of the ACLU. Or, if you're already a member, please consider making an extra contribution to help ensure we have the resources needed to turn back the widespread assaults on liberties that are now underway

Why does the ACLU use fear of 'right wing' Christians to raise money? Isn't having someone's ear just exercising your freedoms that the ACLU says it values so much? When I asked the ACLU why they used fear of Christians to raise funds, they couldnt seem to answer.

Q: "Why does the ACLU use fear of 'right wing' Christians to raise money?"

It's just a rhetorical device. ACLU membership despises and fears conservative Christians for the most part. Most of them think that a Christian voting pro-life means a "theocracy" is just around the corner. So it's just a button to push to bring in the dollars. People on the right do much the same thing, I'm afraid, to bring in the money.

Did someone say ACLU?

Roger Baldwin, the co-founder of the ACLU said: “I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately, for abolishing the state itself. … I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the properties class, and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. I don’t regret being part of the communist tactic. I knew what I was doing. I was not an innocent liberal. I wanted what the communists wanted and I traveled the United Front road to get it.” In spite of Baldwin’s Communist leanings, President Jimmy Carter awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on January 16, 1981.

Baldwin didn’t create the ACLU in a vacuum, he had plenty of help. A group of Communist Party officials, fellow travelers, anarchists and radicals joined Baldwin to found the ACLU in 1920.

Beats me.
I hate the extreme right wing too, but I don't need money as insurance for protection.

Just keep my Second Amendment rights warm...

Does the ACLU use hate speech to incite people? Do they cross state lines to do it? Is there a crime in here somewhere?

I never said there was a crime here. The fact that these left wing slimeballs use fear of Christianity is the problem. They are the biggest bunch of hypocrites on Earth. They stand up for the rights of islamic fanatics suspected of terrorism and those caught on the battlefied killing OUR troops. Yet they use hate of Christianity to raise money for their little hate club.

They're communists through and through. They only need the useful idiots to pay the salaries and light bills. Satanists or commies, they ain't fond of 2A rights.

The ACLU has depended on liberal judges for years to jam their agenda down our throats.

I'm sure the appointment of JR Brown gave them pause.

The ACLU noted with fear and trepidation the retirement of Judge SD O'Connor.

Now they see the handwriting on the wall.

They are scared sh!tless that President Bush will nominate a right-wing conservative to the SCOTUS.

They know their days of making law via the judiciary are coming to a close.

As they should be.

The ACLU is gonna actually have to work for a change instead of depending on their buddies the liberal judges.

A bad day for the ACLU. A glorious day for our country.

Its not radical Islamofascists the ACLU Christophobes seem afraid of.

The ACLU exploits Christophobes to get taxpayer money when they file religious offense lawsuits.

By supporting a new bill recently introduced, you can help cut off taxpayer support of the ACLU:

Public Expression of Religion Act of 2005
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1413875/posts

There you will find information about the bill, links to contact your congressmen and state representatives, and links to Stop the ACLU, among others.
