"For God And Country Forever Surrender To The ACLU Never"
I had the benefit of getting an interview with Mr. Reese Lloyd, a former ACLU lawyer affiliated with the largest Veterans Organization in America, the American Legions. When I called the media relations department there and inquired about their support for Public Expression of Religion Act of 2005 , this is the man they reffered me to. I soon found out why. This was a very passionate, wise, and well spoken man.
I first inquired of his history with the ACLU, how he became employed with them, and why he eventually disassoicated himself with them. He informed me that he had worked two janitor jobs while attending law school. One day the ACLU did some kind of fellowship interview, and he was given an internship with them. He eventually went on to be on their staff. He focused in the area of worker's rights with special attention to the depravation of speech in the workplace...such as whisleblowers.
So why did he leave them? He said, "it was in part because around that time they established a Seperation of Church and State Staff Position." He informed me that, "This was funded by Norman Lear and several other Hollywood millionares." It seems even back then that Hollywood sided with the secular left. He went on to say that, "the very purpose of this staff position was to push "establishment clause" lawsuits against the government."
At this point he got pretty fired up, and dominated the conversation for a while. I didn't mind...what he had to say was passionate and cut right to the truth of things.
"I think it is important that we shouldn't forget that we had a civil rights movement that was needed in our history at the time.

"I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control of those who produced the wealth: communism is the goal." - Roger Baldwin, ACLU founder, Harvard Reunion Book, 1935
"The establishment of an American Soviet government will involve the confiscation of large landed estates in town and country, and also, the whole body to forests, mineral deposits, lakes, rivers and so on." - William Z. Foster, ACLU co-founder and former chairman, Communist Party USA.
Let me know if you would like to join my ACLU ping list
A few years back Leo Terrell had a falling out with the ACLU when he openly supported the president's nomination of Janice Rogers-Brown.
He was on Scarborough one night saying that the ACLU told him to withdraw his support or they would not send ACLU cases to him.
Very interesting. I'm going to keep that name for the future. Would be nice if I could interview him.
American Civil Liberties - NOT. . .of course. . .
His website http://www.leoterrell.com/
He's still quite the liberal. On the show he claimed that the letter from the ACLU said that they did not support any Bush nominees or policies. His biggest problem was the fact that the ACLU opposed Bush across the board without consideration. Purely political.
I don't know how long Scarborogh holds his archives but it was a very interesting segment from one of his earlier shows.
ANYway. . .just checking to see where to start here. . .besides that is, making that donation to our local Boy Scouts. . .
Letting you know. If it's no touble that is. Thanks.
No trouble at all!
