Yep. It's Realpolitik at its zenitith. Started by avowed socialists/communists hiding behind the veneer of a lofty sounding name, promoting ideals they frame as "protecting constitutional liberties," all while systematically eroding the foundations and culture of America to promote its own selfish world view. They are very good at pulling in naive up-and-comers out of law school and hooking them to the cause by partnering them with bitter ideologues.
Groups like the ACLU are very selective about the liberties they protect. They could care less about 2nd amendment rights. But we are in this WOT mess because our liberties were taken away.
We once had the right to carry weapons anywhere. We once had freedom of association without being threatened with discrimination lawsuits.
But today the constraints that the Constitution applied to the government are reversed and the Constitution is now standing on its head.
For example, an airline crew ejected a group of Arabs who were taking a suspicious interest in the cockpit door latch before the flight. But the airline was sued for this act of racial profiling.
If we are reduced to acting like sheep they are going to cut our throats.
