ACLU Hasn't A-C-L-U-E

The ACLU worked to postpone the California Recall, is fighting to get rid of public displays of the Ten Commandments, fighting against the Boy Scouts and for NAMBLA (search), the North American Man-Boy Love Association. Working to defend their rights! In short, on the wrong side of almost every issue. The American Civil Liberties Union is imploding and the wide array of life options it endorses seems to no longer include a belief in the traditional American way.

"Not that they’re always wrong. The ACLU is now helping to overturn a Mississippi state law that prohibits homosexual couples in that state from adopting children...."

I could very well be wrong, but I don't think gays should be adopting children. What kind of home environment would that be to grow up in?

The ACLU lately has gone so far left I almost find it embarassing to agree with them on anything. To be sure, like a broken clock they're right occasionally, but they've become so overtly leftist it's frightening.

The ACLU has now degenerated to the point where they?ll fight against your right to erect a Nativity Scene but they?ll fight for the right of the local freak who stumbles into the scene and fondles one of the sheep.

ROFLMAO

Probably very normal, for the most part. I think gay people are capable of acting like normal parents, just as much as straight people are. BUT when a kid grows up without a mother or without a father, that has to have some sort of cost attached to it. Even if a gay couple puts in a perfect effort at raising kids, I doubt the kids would be as well off as if they had come from a normal, two-parents-of-opposite-sex home.

Probably very normal, for the most part. You're dreaming. Gay couples will indoctrinate impressionable minds with the Gay Agenda, and I predict that 95% of gay couples will raise gay children.

Well, welcome to the party, Dennis!

However, it's just wishful thinking that the ACLU (sometimes known as the "Anti-Christian Litigation Union) is imploding. Their founder, a certain Roger Baldwin, if I'm not mistaken, was anti-constitution and called it a "living" document, subject to change.

The ACLU is and always has been a subversive organization.

You missed a couple of other pots the ACLU has their fingers in.

They are supporting Michael Schiavo and Felos the Fraud in putting Terri to death.

They are filing suit on the east coast to ban the ban on partial birth abortion - the President hasn't even signed it into law yet. Planned Parenthood is filing on the west coast and some Reproductive Rights group in the midwest.

These people are all CRAZY. Does anyone remember the old Sci-Fi movie "Invaders from Mars"?

People were taken aboard a spaceship that landed "under" the desert (they fell through the sand and down into the ship) wherein the aliens put some chip in the back of the neck. This caused them to do whatever the head alien wanted, including murder.

Sound familiar?

DENNIS MILLER: In this messed up world, I like seeing my President pray. I don’t think a person can get answers out of books anymore. This is an infinitely complex world and at some point one has to have faith in one’s religion. I find it endearing that President Bush prays to God and that he’s not an agnostic or an atheist. I’m glad there’s ... someone higher --- that he has to answer to.

I can hardly wait until Dennis has a show. He's going to shake things up with his brilliant mind and witty insight rather than anger or pompous self righteousness.

I have known three gays with kids (spanning my lifetime). All the kids are now grown and are VERY straight. I know two of them are probably more conservative than me, and that's REALLY gatting conservative. I'm not advocating here. I don't think gays should be anywhere near the responsibility of raising children. I know from these kids, rebellion was a good thing.

BTW, none of these grown kids have much of a relationship with their non-related "parents". Some of these households had a very high "lifemate" turnover rate.

THE ACLU began as a convicts dream to get revenge against
America. Baldwin was a devotee to Soviet Communism--said
commuist opppression was to advance the State--while ours
was just oppressive.Most of the leaders prior to the 60's
played revolving seats with the CPUSA.And in the sixties
Hoover said the bulk of their cases were in defence of
Commuinsists that had run afoul of the law.In 1989 the ACLU
successfully convinced our errant Court to accept desecration of Our Flag as protected speech a Communist
(Johnson)was behind that.Clearly a record of deception and
anti-American activitiy cannot be trumped by a few crumbs
tossed to appease the useful idiots.

ROTFLMAO! This is exactly what the Get A-C-L-U-E crowd is about.

You have it right!

They are another element of the massive fifth column that infests this nation.

They are the enemies of liberty, not its defender and need to be eliminated.

Homosexuals corrupt everything they get their dirty hands on.
Even the word gay used to mean something nice.
Now it means an insane sexual practice.
As homosexuals can only recruit young people to their
insane way of life, this scum has to go after children.

<< I [Feel] gay people are capable of acting like normal parents >>

And I know that is the most depraved remark with which I will be confronted today.

And that your spouse, parents and siblings engage in sodomy, and lesbianism and other acts of depravity.

I caught a bit of Walter Williams sitting in for Rush this week. He had an interview with a law professor who has a book out on the ACLU. The author's main point was that the ACLU was created ostensibly to protect civil liberties, i.e., to protect individual rights from government oppression. Instead, it supports using the federal government to oppress individual choices such as who we associate with, what we say, what we do, how we worship. I thought it was a very insightful analysis.

Anyone recall the name of the book or the author?

many of the local chapters of the ACLU are run by law professors. Law professors with ivory tower, refugee from the real world mentality.

Right now, the ACLU is trying to stop KY Republican pollwatchers from monitoring any signs of voter fraud on this Tuesday's Governor's race. ACLU lawyers are claiming that Republican pollwathcers suppress black voter turnout. What a pile of trash! The ACLU is a subsidiary of the RAT party. The ACLU's misssion is to enable DemocRATS to steal elections.
