Conservatives who favor limited government will, at times, hold positions similar to those of the ACLU. Free speach and privacy being two of them.
Maybe hold some of the same positions but to actually work for them??
WHAT THE ACLU HAS DONE:
The ACLU's founder, Roger Baldwin, stated: "We are for SOCIALISM, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself... We seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the SOLE CONTROL of those who produce wealth. COMMUNISM is the goal." (Source: Trial and Error, by Geo. Grant)
Following are some of the stated goals of the ACLU, from its own published Policy Issues:
*
the legalization of prostitution (Policy 211);
*
the defense of all pornography, including CHILD PORN, as "free speech" (Policy 4);
*
the decriminalization and legalization of all drugs (Policy 210);
*
the promotion of homosexuality (Policy 264);
*
the opposition of rating of music and movies (Policy 18);
*
opposition against parental consent of minors seeking abortion (Policy 262);
*
opposition of informed consent preceding abortion procedures (Policy 263);
*
opposition of spousal consent preceding abortion (Policy 262);
*
opposition of parental choice in children's education (Policy 80)
-- not to mention the defense and promotion of euthanasia, polygamy, government control of church institutions, gun control, tax-funded abortion, birth limitation, etc. (Policies 263, 133, 402, 47, 261, 323, 271, 91, 85).
Following is a case in point (from David Barton's "America: To Pray or Not to Pray").
