“I do not find people credible who leave out facts that contradict their claims.”
Agreed. But, the ACLU holds some ambiguous positions;
It is for gun rights but only as they apply to a
well-regulated militia and not to possession by individuals.
It is against capital punishment but in favor of “reproductive rights” without regard to the outcome for the occupants of the womb.
It is for the right to free expression of religious faith but not in public; no prayers at public functions, no words allowed by clergymen/women.
Just because someone “purged” communists from the organization doesn’t mean that it is not inspired by communist thought and filled with an over-weening sense that there are no protections possible for humans without their presence on the earth.
(Respectfully and with best regards.)

Looks like Captain Kirk was zotted.
” chilling effect on the U.S. civil libertarian community, which still included many professing communists.”
NO communist can be a civil libertarian. They lie and have proven they will kill to further communism. they are like muzzies that way.
