The ACLU refuses to defend the Second Amendment because they decided it's not a "real right" for the People.

Meanwhile, they defend pedophiles, murderers and the rest of the dregs of society to the detriment of all others.

The ACLU is just another Fifth Column cretin crew masquerading as an American organization.

There's a big surprise: Some folks think that the ACLU fronts for communist organizations?

Duh.

Dennis Miller said, "The ACLU will take you to court to force you to take down a public Nativity Scene but they will defend the rights of a guy who gets drunk, stumbles into the scene and (blanks) the goat in the (blank)"

Judging by the excerpt from his book, it's clear that J. Edgar Hoover knew precisely what the communists were up to. He also seems very intelligent. It's no wonder he was slandered the way he was. I don't know much about him, but when I hear his name, a negative impression comes wafting in from my subconscious. I'm sure this is from years of unexamined exposure to the leftist charicature that exists in the various media -- Hoover as a paranoid nut, Hoover in a dress and high heels, etc. I used to get a similar impression of McCarthy, before I learned more about him.

This is the MO of today's left and the media:

"Members and front organizations must continually embarrass, discredit and degrade our critics … when obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic … Constantly associate those who oppose us with those names that already have a bad smell. The association will, after enough repetition, become 'fact' in the public mind."

--CCCP 1943

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."

Why is it ok to compromise on the 2nd amendment, but none of the others?

I think maybe this question should be directed toward the ACLU.

Just do a google search for Conservative legal groups, political action committees, etc, and you will get a whole bunch of them. The ACLU is favored by the mainstream media, and that is why you hear so much about them. There are plenty of groups out there you just don'e hear about them. The American Center for Law and Justice comes to mind. We don't just sit and Bitch.
