"Griswold v. Connecticut was wrongly decided in my view."

I've taken that same position on other threads.

But it's a huge leap to go from there to thinking the ACLU is on "a jihad to ... subvert the Constitution" or that they are an "America-hating terror group".

Yet that's what one reads on FR.

We can run an experiment if you like. I'll go to another thread and strike up a conversation about the ACLU and you can check the hostility/knowledge ratio on FR ;-)

I simply haven't time to get into this with you. I think that historically, the ACLU has done some important things for civil liberties. However, in recent years it has become far more hostile to religion per se as opposed to the establishment of religion, which is prohibited by the Constitution, and has rather consistently followed an agenda that can best be characterized as socialist and hostile to the original intent of the Founders. While was once a member, and contributed to the ACLU, now, if the lot of them were transported to Greenland (where they would be deliriously happy - I won't wish ill on anyone), I would not shed a tear.
