The government does not have to prove that prisoners are not being mistreated. The ACLU has to prove that they are.

This Babe said... "Without the ACLU, this would be a very different country,"

Actually, I agree with her Carlo. It would be a much better country, the one most of us here want.

Thanks for spearheading this. I've done my best in numerous posts to other threads to let people know this organization has always had Communist sympathies as well as outright Communists in its hierarchy. It is the single biggest threat to the First Amendment's guarantee that the government should not prevent the free expression of religion. These people won't rest until we have a totally secular culture.

Thanks Bernard, I can't believe these folks are still getting funding out of our congress to fight the will of the people.. I don't have much in common with any of the view of this perverted organization.. I don't care what they believe, I just don't want to pay them to force it upon us.. DITTO.. PBS, NPR, ETC..

These commies control the media, so those that don't pay attention believe we are the brutal beasts, and not the criminals.. I guess the task is left to us to get the word out!

"ACLU President Nadine Strossen told a campus audience that censoring pornography will harm, not help, women's rights."

They'll defend the rights of any pervert, homosexual, whackjob, etc. - any rights except those of normal Americans.

[StarFan]

Cannot even begin to tell you my opinion of the ACLU and their commie agenda lest I break FR rules about profanity. O'Reilly has been on their case for weeks and hopefully the word is finally getting out to 'normal' Americans.

[talleyman]

The ACLU is a terrorist organization.

[Soaring Feather]

I don't have much use for the entire organization. (ACLU)

[Core_Conservative]

I'm sorry - but she does not look african American!

[carlo3b]

The first woman and first African American to hold the position of Washington Office Director, Murphy had previously worked for the ACLU as a lobbyist for more than three years during which she was instrumental in the passage of the Voting Rights Act Extension of 1982.

She may have a Michael Jackson problem.. One sure bet that you can morgage the farm on ..the NAA(PC) would NEVER, EVER, hire anyone in any position of importance that isn't Black..

WONDERFUL COMPARISON, they must have been separated at birth!! LOL

[carlo3b]

I don't have much use for the entire organization.

Very few folks do, thank heaven!

Small donations mean little to the commie ACLU. I say shut them down permanently!

I agree, but how do we do it? Anyone?

[Roughneck]

How about this sweetheart with eight-year association with Planned Parenthood: This honey controls a $60 million war chest!


Yep! And I dont donate to UICEF either. Thanks for the ACLU link though, I think I'll have a beer (not budweiser) then drop 'em a note. . . .

Now, how do we STOP them?
