"I personally think the ACLU should be destroyed. This socialist group is doing more to ruin this country."

Can't disagree with you, but destroy them? Heck,no.

The ACLU, NARAL, NOW, democratic (small 'd' intentional) party, any Kennedy or Clinton, might be a subversive force for evil (or at the very least mischief), but they should remain in place. Why? Because one day, if we work at it, we'll have a country where people will be able to THINK and they'll need constant reminders on how NOT to think, and these people and groups serve that purpose well.

The problem with the people and institutions noted above is not that they are a danger to American society, in the strictest sense, it's the emotional attachment to the reckless militantcy of their youth that is the danger. There is very little of the intellectual to most of their arguments, except in a very superficial way. The good little liberal (and that's a misnomer, if you want to be specific about it, it's Republicans who are the true liberals, in the classical sense of the word) is never expected to act according to reason and logic, he or she (it's usually a she or a male who wishes he was a woman) is just expected to have the right visceral emotional response, when it's required.

That's why most 'liberal' ideas revolve around one of four, easy-to-manipulate emotions: greed, envy, hatred and fear.
Look at every 'liberal' cause there is, and you'll see the same four emotions in the foundation of every 'issue'.

I don't worry about the anti-war crowd because ultimately, Pacifism is street to nowhere. For the Pacifist to get his way, he has to do that which he rails against; use coercive force, either in violent revolution or in the power of the state to enforce his will. Therefore, pacifism is not a viable political system. It is, at best, a smug affectation of those who enjoy freedom, but who cannot be counted upon to actually secure it for themselves.

I don't worry about the 'Flower Power' crowd because they've ultimately failed at everything else they've ever done, so why should this time be any different? I know that evena blind hog occassionally finds an acorn, but the current group of blind hogs (i.e. liberals) is a walking advertizement for birth control, so I hardly pay them any mind.
