Yesterday, viewers of the “mainstream” media received a rare treat; after all, it isn’t everyday two non-stories compete for the front page. Sensing the country may be growing tired during its the sixth straight day of coverage on Karl Rove’s “non-crime in the non-outing of non-secret CIA analyst Valerie Plame,” the media also reproduced the ACLU’s press release littered with non-proof of the FBI’s non-spying on domestic non-peace and non-civil rights organizations that advocate violence or have ties to terror.
The ACLU breathlessly announced the FBI had accumulated 1,173 pages of documents related to its own activity and more than 3,000 pages on Greenpeace, which came to light after the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request. Other far-Left groups the FBI allegedly monitored include United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and perhaps 100 additional left-wing and Islamist organizations. Immediately, the ACLU accused the feds of spying on “peaceful” organizations “exercising their First Amendment rights.”
The revelation led to mock outrage and charges of Big Brother surveillance. ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero asked, “Why would the F.B.I. collect almost 1,200 pages on a civil rights organization engaged in lawful activity? What justification could there be, other than political surveillance of lawful First Amendment activities?” Ann Beeson, Associate Legal Director of the ACLU, protested, “There is no need to open a counterterrorism file when people are simply exercising their First Amendment rights.” Longtime Communist Party USA member and United for Peace and Justice founder Leslie Cagan also echoed, “It's one thing to monitor protests and protest organizers, but quite another thing to refer them to your counterterrorism unit.”...

"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
Yeah. One is talk and the other is action. The ACLU is arguably America's #1 enemy (since it enables and empowers America's enemies -- Islam, Race Pimps, Gays, most Democrats)
Terrorism is terrorism, no matter if it's done by domestic activist groups like Peta, code pink, the ACLU, etc. or Islamic 'fundamentalists'. Do they expect to be treated differently just because they are homegrown?
for later
Time to create a Pro-American watch dog group to keep a close eye on the "activities" of the Anti-American ACLU.
bttt
Short answer: They don't.
I was just walking in the morning dark, having a cigarette and ruminating about unintended consequences, Leonardo DaVinci, the writing of software, and the ACLU.
Yes, they all tie together, under the umbrella of "why do we got to do things the hard way"?
In a sane society, the ACLU couldn't exist. Why should an organization whose sole reason for being is the disruption of the established order and philosophy of life, generally be allowed to exist?
Particularly when its creation was clearly and specifically the work of an enimical foreign nation, for the specific purpose of weakening, and if lucky, destroying the glue that holds us together for ideological advantage?
Because we can, and just suck it up hoping that the actual price paid by everyone as a result never becomes clear.
Of late (generationally speaking) that price is lives. Bone and muscle and sinew and breath. Occasionally on a massive scale, more usually in driblles which hide the magnitude of the total as we cycle up the count.
The justification for all this?
We're free. That seemingly neutral observation cancels out all sorts of evils that we ignore, including our ultimate destruction.
In a rational universe, the power of groups like those listed on the "watch list" would be allowed to exist and pontificate, but not allowed any power whatsoever, legal or functional. The might exist for the sole purpose of promoting an informed citizenry. The crap that they issue could be ignored and any accidental residual wisdom slowly allowed into the public consciousness.
I would take the parallel further by noting the similarities of the present subject to the Environmental Quality Act (another useful slave but terrible master), but alas, having a life and a job is more important in the long run.
So I'll just end by saying, "screw the ACLU, PETA, Geenpeace, United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and the 100 additional left-wing and Islamist organizations.
Legal Activity, my left elbow!
ACLU is domestic enemy number 1.
Second only to my church contributions are those I make to fight the ACLU. These shysters deserve your scorn and your money to fight them.
Good Point...Look what the "homegrown's" did in the UK!!
Awesome...I could use a donation to help in our fight. ;)
