The best known case involves popular talk show host Sean Hannity. While interviewing volunteers of the Minuteman Project last April in Arizona, Hannity inadvertently crossed the US/Mexico border for a few minutes then immediately returned. It was a simple mistake and easily understood in light of the pathetic security of our borders. However the ACLU, which led the good fight by trying to obstruct the Minutemen and goad them into conflicts while enabling the rampant invasion of illegals into our nation, decided this was an offense that could not be tolerated. Apparently upset at Hannity’s drawing interest to the good work of the Minutemen, Arizona State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, under the auspices of the ACLU, demanded Hannity’s arrest.

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 don’t 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 Baldwin’s Communist leanings, President Jimmy Carter awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on January 16, 1981.

Baldwin didn’t create the ACLU in a vacuum, he had plenty of help. A group of Communist Party officials, fellow travelers, anarchists and radicals joined Baldwin to found the ACLU in 1920.

Now then, a couple of questions and observations.
As I understand it, this foreign agent, " Arizona State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema" in concert with the Communist group consider an accidental border crossing "an offense that could not be tolerated", but simultaneous crossing in the opposite direction by hundreds, perhaps thousands of criminals (illegal entry is still a federal crime, close as I can tell) is freaking invisible"???
Seems to be a proper recall is in order for one, and charges of sedition for both. Yes, I believe a cultural war qualifies.

Where ae the groups with the motivation, moxie and clout to pursue this as a counterattack?
You need more funds? Just ask for them! This unrich American would be happy to contribute on a continuing basis!

Hannity inadvertently crossed the US/Mexico border for a few minutes then immediately returned

According to Hannity he stepped through a hole in the fence into a 3 foot buffer zone that was still US territory. He never crossed into Mexico and returned.

Despite the lack of a "crime", the ACLU and Arizona State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema peed all over themselves with excitement and were demanding a public execution or something similar. Meanwhile thirty miles further along the border, illegals continued to stream in while they did nothing.

There are several other cases in recent weeks which further illustrate this trend. In Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, the ACLU has called for the arrest of school teachers and administrators because the ACLU does not feel they adequately exorcised all Judeo-Christian influences from their classrooms and cafeterias.

This is actually a disastrous strategy for the ACLU, and a golden opportunity to drive the wooden stake through the heart of the ACLU vampire: create martyrs.

How many tachers and administrators who "stand their ground" can they arrest? How many students can they be allowed to inconvenience and injure?

On another facet of the potential development of this stupid strategy, what if, say, one million normal Americans pledge $1 a month put into a fund to support arrested teachers, administrators and their families while they are in jail? For as long as it takes?

I'm guessing that would take care of at least 150 prisoners of conscience and their families.
Double that contributon and it's still a pittance for the average American.

How long would the ACLU be able to afford that?
I would further suggest that any accused and arrested insist of individual trials!
I further expect that a significant number of businesses and wealthy patrons would step forward to provide additional funds.

It's a war they want?

The biggest difference between the ACLU and the standard ambulance chaser that I can discern is that the ACLU is not looking for offenders with money, but one with Christian influence to lose. So I guess the ACLU is funded in some non ambulance chaser way.

The ACLU, like Senator Reid and Chairman Dean, is in fact God's gift to conservatives. The ACLU, Senator Reid and Chairman Dean help to galvanize the conservative movement. Because they are so outrageous, they help bring people to the polls who would otherwise stay home. We witnessed this last November.

Granted, the tactics used by the ACLU, Senator Reid and Chairman Dean are dangerous and destructive, but they expose the vicious underside of liberalism. They expose liberals for what they are: intolerant bigots.

The ACLU should be investigated as a subversive COMMUNIST front group. After all, they were started by the COMMUNIST PARTY.

[John Filson]

The ACLU is too well funded to falter.

May the lawyers of the hated ACLU burn in hell.

As much as I'd like to see the ACLU utterly destroyed, I think this is just so much wishful thinking. It's just too entrenched and powerful. Fight it yes, but destroy it? Sadly, that's doubtful.

Illegal aliens, paedophiles, mass murderers, all are grist for the ACLU mill.

But Christians, the Bible and America's Judaeo-Christian traditions are all anathema to them.

If the House Un-American Activities Committee was resurrected, the ACLU would be #1 on their list, followed by NAMBLA.

What once may have been an organization dedicated to high ideals has now degenerated into a literal threat to our liberty.

They have always been a Marxist organization!!! They were set up to function as a Nihilist organization regarding the United States. They have done that job well... Resource item:

Unholy Alliance
by David Horowitz
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 089526076X
Hardcover - 256 pages (September 2004)

In this tour de force on the most important issue of our time, David Horowitz, confronts the paradox of how so many Americans, including the leadership of the Democratic Party, could turn against the War on Terror. He finds an answer in a political Left that shares a view of America as the “Great Satan” with America’s radical Islamic enemies. This Left, which once made common cause with Communists, has now joined forces with radical Islam in attacking America’s defenses at home and its policies abroad. From their positions of influence in the university and media culture, leftists have defined America as the “root cause” of the attacks against it. In a remarkable exploration of the “Mind of the Left,” Horowitz traces the evolution of American radicalism from its Communist past to its “anti-war” present. He then shows how this Left was able to turn the Democratic Party presidential campaign around and reshape its views on the War on Terror.

Horowitz’s Unholy Alliance, writes John Haynes, the noted historian of American Communism, “is an insightful, brilliant examination of the mental world of the radical left. Horowitz shows how today’s radicals, unwilling to reflect on the internal flaws that destroyed Marxism-Leninism from within, have embraced an all-consuming nihilism in its place. This has led them to a hatred of American institutions and a solidarity with Islamic terrorists that makes the radical left more properly regarded as dangerous than loony.”

Unholy Alliance is an eye-opening book that should unsettle conventional assumptions and reveals why intellectuals and political leaders who applaud Michael Moore are no laughing matter. As Harvey Klehr, author of Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America, writes, “The world Communist movement may be moribund, but its habits of mind and ideological fantasies have not disappeared. This is a fascinating and depressing account.”

ACLU has ALWAYS been a threat to the Constitution and therefore our freeedom..
From the git-go..

Funny that the ACLU and George Bush(and the republican party) are on the SAME PAGE when it comes to illegal alien insurgents.. and against the Minutemen.. at the very least..

Personally, I hope our whole corrupt judicial system is also going down. Recent years have showed it is fatally flawed.
