National Security: ACLU has asked a federal court to block the U.S. government from wiretapping suspected terrorists. But.., aiding America's enemies is nothing new for the ACLU.
In District Court in Detroit on Thursday, the ACLU ludicrously claimed NSA surveillance must be stopped because it's forcing journalists to fly "overseas to speak with their sources." Sorry, but we haven't heard Bob Schieffer complaining he has to fly to London to phone Hillary Clinton.
...
It turns out that one of the most notorious members of a domestic terrorist organization of 35 years ago actually worked as an ACLU lawyer: Bernardine Dohrn of the Weathermen (later the Weather Underground).
According to her official biography posted by Northwestern University School of Law, where she serves as clinical associate professor of law, Dohrn has done work for the ACLU's Roger Baldwin Foundation. (Baldwin is the ACLU founder who once infamously said, "I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.")
...
In the early 1970s, the Weathermen took credit for a dozen bombings. Their targets included the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and New York City police headquarters. Dohrn was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List in 1970, and J. Edgar Hoover called her "the most dangerous woman in America."
Dohrn and her husband — fellow Weathermen member Bill Ayers, now professor of education at the University of Illinois — were indicted in federal court for conspiring to bomb police stations and government buildings. The charges were dropped over illegal surveillance.
...
Dohrn is more proof that the ACLU is not some great guardian of the rights of Americans. It has spent its history opposing American values and traditions. It is an enemy undermining our country, and it's never been more dangerous than now, during wartime.

I hope I don't live to see the day it happens.
Journalists have to fly over seas to talk to their sources?
Why don't they just go to our national universities and interview our enemies who are attending as students?

To quote Lincoln:

could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad.
If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

CAIR Chairman Elected to Board of ACLU-Florida
CAIR Chairman Elected to Board of ACLU-Florida
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 3/8/06) - CAIR National Board Chairman Parvez Ahmed has been elected to the board of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida (ACLU-Florida). SEE: http://www.aclufl.org/
“American Muslims view the protection of civil liberties as one of the most important issues facing our nation today,” said Ahmed. “By working with the ACLU in Florida, I hope to strengthen constitutional rights and help balance those rights with legitimate national security concerns.” Ahmed is a resident of Jacksonville, Fla.
The ACLU of Florida, with headquarters in Miami, is the local affiliate of the national organization. It has 16 staff members, 16 chapters and more than 22,000 members and supporters across Florida.
CAIR and the ACLU have cooperated on a number of issues at the national level to defend the civil liberties of All Americans.
I've been teaching a world history class this year. One of the mysteries that my students have been confronting is the death of Rome. I've been sharing the the opinions of others on the matter, who say that Romans forgot their traditions, indulged in vices, winked at corruption at high levels, and mocked their own history. Most of the students make the connection to the current state of affairs in the United States. Some of them even link the invasion of the Germanic tribes to the reconquista of the Southwest by the Mexicans. Smart kids. Maybe they'll be the cleanup crew for the mess my generation created.
Nothing here you can't learn by reading Michael Savage.
You left out Ruth Ginsburg.
