GRANTS PASS, OR, September 22, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) The founder of the American Civil Liberties Union was a card-carrying communist whose goal was to undermine the Judeo-Christian foundations of America, according to author David Kupelian.
The ACLU is engaged in trying to eliminate every vestige of Judeo-Christian expression in public places in America, Kupelian explained in his landmark book, The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom, according to a review by Agape press. It's frightening -- and they are using our tax dollars to do this. They use the laws of the land to get American taxpayers to spend their hard-earned money, actually financing their own destruction.
The ultimate goal of the ACLU is to see an America with little or no public vestige left of religious faith and the traditional family, according to the Alliance Defense Funds Alan Sears and Craig Osten, who wrote the book, The ACLU vs. America.
The goals of the ACLU were clear from the groups founding, as indicated by the writings of its founder, Roger Baldwin: I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class Communism is the goal.
The ACLU positions itself as the great defender of rights, [but] is against the right of parents not to allow their children to participate in assemblies and curricula that actively undermine and ridicule their religious beliefs, according to Sears and Osten, commenting on the ACLUs successful bid to force public school children in California to attend classes that indoctrinate them with homosexual propaganda.

Yes, the lead counsel of such an organization is allowed to be on the Supreme Court 96-3, but an outed conservative is not.
Greek philosophy was nothing other than the return to the primeval darkness that existed prior to the creation of light.
It's too bad that Chanukkah has been reinterpreted as a festival of "freedom of religion." What a wonderful benefit it would be if its true anti-Hellenistic message were broadcast.
Too bad the Maccabbees didn't finish the job.
My my. What happened to Mr. Calm, Cool, and Collected?
I'm sorry, but values are subjective. The Commandments of G-d or objective. Without G-d you have nothing but subjective individual or societal/cultural hang-ups. And that is not a misrepresentation. Without G-d all "morality" is subjective. Why don't you just admit that in your worldview objectivity is impossible?
The Seleucids were hardly Greeks, let alone Athenians; the great Greek city-states were long gone. The Maccabees were too busy fighting among themselves to ever accomplish much; they did however attract the attention of another powerful source of western civilization, the Romans, and Titus built a very fine monument to commemorate the end of Jewish squabbling.
And the Romans are dead and gone and the Jews are still squabbling (and in their original homeland, after an exile of 2000 years thanks to those same "civilized" Romans). What a coincidence! Kinda like how the universe came to be.
I recommend you leave FR and hang out with the anarcho-Nazis at "Liberty Forum."
BTW, you are aware that Nietzsche sucks, right?
BTW, what are you doing in a thread on the ACLU? You think it's too "chr*stian," or you think it's part of the Jewish assault on "western civilization," perhaps?
Not only because he himself adopted the attitude toward the God of Israel that the original Philistines adopted, but because his own cultural tastes were driven by personal animosities rather than by any coherent aesthetic criteria.
Anyone who declares the New Testament and the late works of Wagner as "worthless" or "trash" is poorly positioned to describe anyone else as a philistine.
(2) The Seleucids may not have been pure ethnic Athenians, but the culture they promoted was Athenian and they were educated in the Athenian manner.
(3) The Maccabbees defeated the largest empire in the world and were in turn defeated by an even more powerful successor empire.
Their success in achieving and maintaining their autonomy is nothing short of remarkable.
(4) If you are a "nonbeliever" then you have nothing to offer except complete moral relativism. You argue from a position you can't even absolutely defend.
But the God of Israel is not relative. He is true yesterday and today, now and for eternity. His eternal fidelity is the reason why there are still Jews around today to obey His Torah.
Neither you or I have ever met an actual Seleucid or an actual Philistine - remember that.
Bravo, wideawake!
A malevolent dwarf from hell.
BTTT

LOL! I was thinking the same thing but shouldn't that be 'Gladys Ormphby Ginsberg'?
"ACLU has damaged the foundations of our country more than any other organization.
"
Wrong. The ACLU is a kitten compared to the Democratic Party. From the Civil War forward, nobody has done as much damage as they have.
Say it ain't so.
I meant it inclusive of that
There were several co-founders of the ACLU, one of whom was Norman Thomas.
Norman Thomas ran for President of the US on the Socialist Party ticket, a total of 6 times -- Thomas was also a co-founder of the Socialist Party of the US.
Here's a quote from him:
"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 knowing how it happened."
Btw, his grandson is Evan Thomas, an editor at Newsweak...it was revealed that ET was his grandson by Chrissie Matthews during an interview with ET some years ago on Hardball, back in its early days.

Ever wonder which President awarded Roger Baldwin the Medal of Freedom?
Here's a hint: it wasn't a Republican!

There is one book that I do hope Google will get to scan into their mega-library
(as I suspect it's not easy to locate a copy of this classic by Roger Baldwin)....
