I found the article via RightNation
Repeat:
First things first: The first post, in any ACLU thread posted on FR, should carry the following paragraph for context...
"Roger Baldwin, the co-founder of the ACLU said: I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately, for abolishing the state itself.
I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the properties class, and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. I dont regret being part of the communist tactic. I knew what I was doing. I was not an innocent liberal. I wanted what the communists wanted and I traveled the United Front road to get it. In spite of Baldwins Communist leanings, President Jimmy Carter awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on January 16, 1981."
I'm with you! Each time I see ACLU in a post, I'll make darn sure it's there.
Now would you do something for me?
Every time you see Amnesty Internationial, if I don't beat you to it, would you add the following into comments...

Irene Khan - Biography
Irene Zubaida Khan joined Amnesty International as the organizations seventh Secretary General in August 2001.
Taking the helm in Amnesty International as the first woman, the first Asian and the first Muslim to guide the worlds largest human rights organization, Irene brought a new perspective to the organization. As an individual, she brought experience and enthusiasm for putting people at the heart of policy.
Irene took up the leadership of Amnesty International in its 40th anniversary year as the organization began a process of change and renewal to address the complex nature of contemporary human rights violations, and confronted the challenging developments in the wake of the attacks of 11 September.
In her first year in office, Irene reformed AIs response to crisis situations, personally leading high level missions to Pakistan during the bombing of Afghanistan, to Israel/Occupied Territories just after the Israeli occupation of Jenin, and to Colombia before the Presidential elections in May 2003. Deeply concerned about violence against women, she called for better protection of womens human rights in meetings with President Musharraf of Pakistan, President Lahoud of Lebanon and Prime Minister Khaleda Zia of Bangladesh. She has initiated a process of consultations with women activists to design a global campaign by Amnesty International against violence on women.
Irene has been keen to draw attention to hidden human rights violations. In Australia, she drew attention to the plight of asylum seekers in detention. In Burundi, she met with victims of massacres and urged President Buyoya and other parties to the conflict to end the cycle of human rights abuse. In Bulgaria, she led a campaign to end discrimination of those suffering from mental disabilities.
Interested in working directly with people to change their lives, Irene helped to found the development organization, Concern Universal, in 1977, and began her work as a human rights activist with the International Commission of Jurists in 1979.
Irene joined the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 1980, and worked in a variety of positions at Headquarters and in field operations to promote the international protection of refugees. From 1991-95 she was Senior Executive Officer to Mrs. Sadako Ogata, then UN High Commissioner for Refugees. She was appointed as the UNHCR Chief of Mission in India in 1995, the youngest UNHCR country representative at that time, and in 1998 headed the UNHCR Centre for Research and Documentation. She led the UNHCR team in Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia during the Kosovo crisis in 1999, and was appointed Deputy Director of International Protection later that year.
Irene studied law at the University of Manchester and Harvard Law School, specialising in public international law and human rights. She is the recipient of several academic awards, a Ford Foundation Fellowship, and the Pilkington "Woman of the Year" Award 2002.
Public Document
Good Lord! I could not agree more.
I wish the ACLU could be brought down-quickly,before they do irreparable harm to our country. Isn't there something that can be done to abolish,revoke,invalidate them? Somehow?
God, it's so frustrating having to have these miscreants running loose and creating so much havoc and grief-all the while invoking the name of the very document they're trying to eradicate: the Constitution.
ACLU is an arm of the Democrat Party.
And vice-versa.
ACLU Ping
"Sound and fury, signifying nothing.." is my opinion of them and what I wish they were.
When?
Asa far as I am concerned every alcu member can rot in Hell but I see no signs of their demise.
Macbeth, wasn't it? Towards the end...
Yes, but even when Sean "went through the whole in the fence" (which is a more clear discription of what actually transpired) he was STILL on American soil, in the buffer zone. He NEVER left American soil!
It's not against American law to enter Mexico, they are trying to get him for re-entering without going to a legal border crossing, and customs. But as many have said here, he never left.
Well if that's the way the ACLU works, then why is it they are funded by the federal government, with OUR tax dollars?
This is old news. One may recall that in 1980, the ACLU waged an unsuccessful court battle to send Walter Polovchak, a 12-year-old Ukrainian boy, back to the Soviet Union against his will.
There is a place to donate, stoptheaclu.com
Also the ACLJ and Alliance Defence Fund, both of which I donate too, will represent anyone pro bono against an attack by the ACLU.
You're right, of course! They are the main power behind pushing homosexual teachings in schools.
A few schools have ignored them, I wish more would. What can they do but arrest the entire administration and all the teachers. They can get an award of money in court, but they can't force collection. They can try though. More schools need to ignore them, tell them to pound sand!!!!
I'll havt to research that...
