"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.

"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."

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

hmmmm well, I know two women who are gay who are foster/adoptive parents to 8 black children, half of whom are deaf. All eight of the children excel in English and sign language. They make sure their kids have the best education possible so have moved out of state to make sure that happens. I also know another couple who are raising two little girls. These women are professional. Their children do not lack for male role models. The grandparents are very much a part of these kids lives. I think it doesn't matter.

The argument most frequently used in favor of gays adopting children is that there are huge crowds of unwanted children who would otherwise languish in orphanages if gays are not allowed to adopt them. The truth is that there is a long waiting list of childless heterosexual couples who want to adopt. Gay adoption advocates want to be put at the head of the line and given preference over heterosexual families.

The ACLU is not just now "turning leftward". It was set up decades ago as a communist/Marxist/Christian-hating front organization. It still is.

It employs tried-and-true leftist strategery to take up a mild conservative cause at widely-spaced intervals to facilitate maintainance of their facade.

You're absolutely right that queers (sorry, there is nothing "gay" about them) should NOT be adopting children. It is difficult, if not impossible, for many HETEROSEXUAL couples to adopt children. Many agencies do not allow single heterosexuals to adopt children either, or if they do they limit them to children that no one else will adopt. So tell me, how is it that all of a sudden, perverts can stroll into an adoption agency and demand to adopt a child because it is their RIGHT? GIVE ME A BREAK!

Hey Dennis, any connectin between the ACLU and ANYTHING traditionally American at all, is purely accidental, coincidental and only because they live here.

I know Gay Couples who are loving, smart and generous. I think putting kids in those stable homes (by stable I mean with couples who have been together for many years and have shown themselves to be productive members of society) are better than in State run homes or the Foster Care System. I know I am going to be attacked for this, so go right ahead.
