North Dakotas only American Civil Liberties Union office in Fargo closed in February, a closure blamed generally on the poor national economy, but also to losses major contributors suffered in the Bernard Madoff scandal....
The ACLU got hit pretty hard in this economic downturn as far as fewer donors, Ring said. There were a couple of really big donors that were really affected by the Madoff scandal.

Does Hallmark have any "Thank You for being a crook" cards? I'd like to send one to Madoff in prison.

I know the ACLU gets federal funding - but what is the percent of their budget? Also another reason I am still angry at Republicans when they were in power, the did nothing to stop this funding.

But I usually flush them down the toilet. Hmmmm, maybe we should mail them to Madoff, and step up production to 535 other deserving folks.

I’d read about this before on another thread several months ago, and I remember my sentiments then, and now....

If there is a bright spot to the Bernie Madoff scandal, this would probably be it.

The ACLU feels so unwelcome in North Dakota that it abandons the state and yet all three of the creatures the state sends to DC are RATS!?!?
Could someone please explain that to me.

Likely the state depends heavily on farm subsidies.

As I’ve posted over and over here for years, the Madoff client has been the driving element behind the anti-American left in this country for decades.

... but also to losses major contributors suffered in the Bernard Madoff scandal.... Wait! There was talk of taxpayers reimbursing Madoff victims. Tell me why must my money be used to bail out millionares who have disposable income to give to the ACLU? Maybe they should have banked these donations in a seperate account then when Madoff crashed they'd have a small nestegg left.

Works for me:
On [that] world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.
Odd, said Arthur, I thought you said it was a democracy?
I did, said Ford, It is.
So, said Arthur, hoping he wasnt sounding ridiculously obtuse, why dont the people get rid of the lizards?
It honestly doesnt occur to them, said Ford. Theyve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government theyve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.
You mean they actually vote for the lizards?
Oh yes, said Ford with a shrug, of course.
But, said Arthur, going for the big one again, why?
Because if they didnt vote for a lizard, said Ford, the wrong lizard might get in.

just as I suspected, the ACLU along with so many other tyranical leftist organizations get their breeding money from the elite rich.....and you have to say, probably a lot of Jewish people.....
I always ask myself "WHY"?.....why do Jews follow such leftist and hateful attitudes?.....this country has given them everything....everything...
