If figured they were a far left operation when I first heard of them back in the 60’s.

When my failing employer asked me to take
a pay cut and train a younger employee to
take my job (in NJ) I ran to the state labor
board and ACLU and all I could get was a
affirmation that as an at will employee I had
to take it or leave it. As an over 50 white male
I deserved it!

Dershowitz is a great example of a man of the left who travels rightward.

The ACLU cares nothing for halting the TSA, the NSA, and other common violators of the Fourth Amendment and civil liberties. They are fine with political correctness tyranny. They used to just love murderers, but not their victims. Now they just love big government in all its forms.

Like the mainstream Republican party, what the hell good are they?

Same goes for the hate group known as the SPLC - Southern Poverty Law Center.

Far left group that only has one job; be a fake credible organization designed to label any right wing group racist or whatever it wants.

It should formally be labeled a hate group by the US Government.

So, now any donations to the ACLU should be fully taxible.

The ACLU is no longer a neutral defender of everyone’s civil liberties.

It never was.

The admission that the ACLU is working for the communists and Nazis against American citizens and their civil rights means that the ACLU should be open targets for street justice.

The ACLU is, and always has been the American Communist Lawyers Union.

Rush Limbaugh’s Undeniable Truth #36:

Every organization that doesn’t strive to maintain a conservative stance without fail will become increasingly more liberal.
