I thought this article was insightful.

IMO, the ACLU is Left-Center biased that is not have factual reporting.

This financial ballyhoo is only what the lefty ACLU puts out for public consumption......
It has no bearing on the real financial finagling they are involved in.

True, it is also only part.

However, this article also provides House & Senate PACS as well as graphs & contributions from the “revolving” door of lobbyists as well as graphs and amounts of partial disclosure for “Outside Spending.”

Please add.
I would love to see more information regarding the functioning of the ACLU

As with every organization the Left operates, or with every piece of legislation they put forth, the title of it is the direct opposite of the hidden intent.

Serious question; The ACLU exposed it's intent and purpose decades ago. Is this opinion you're sharing something you just arrived at?

Of course.

Civil liberties to be preserved include the liberty to just disregard the law and destroy all that is in opposition.

“Is this opinion you’re sharing something you just arrived at?”

The fact that you called them "center-left", rather that Marxist, indicates you need as much information as you can get your hands on.

“I wouldn’t classify the aclu as anything but far left.”

ACLU is far-left without any factual reporting. Without fact as “

As Eccl 10:2 commented: “As with every organization the Left operates, or with every piece of legislation they put forth, the title of it is the direct opposite of the hidden intent.”

Share what you can on any recent activity discovered as well. I thought my Freeper pals may have seen other recent ACLU activity other than this 2024 Election info.

Could you please reword the above sentence? Try using another Ukrainian to English translating service.

Of course he supports the ACLU, and his son does as well. You should know by now that George and Alex LOVE anybody or anything that wants to destroy America.

Here's an example for you:

A quote from Roger Baldwin, founder of the ACLU and its Executive Director for its first 30 years:

I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I 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.

Exactly Robwin! I’m sure the Soros Family would wholeheartedly agree with Comrade Baldwin.
