The aclu is a bunch of religious bigots and is no better than the kkk.The Kentucky legislature should pass a law banning the aclu from operating in the state.The aclu has no value whatsoever.

Of course, the ACLU cannot be banned under the First Amendment "freedom of association," a "penumbra" of the right of assembly. And the ACLU has come to the aid of Oliver North in the past and now Rush Limbaugh.
