They are defunding the left. These clowns have been financing their attack on America with your tax money for decades and decades. To hell with them. Let them earn their own money. Better yet, make them pay American citizens for allowing them to exist.

When did they ever stop?

Well thanks! I don't get many "stand up and cheer" moments, even at FR, even in a good week. But this news does it for me! :)

Thanks for posting this. I am really cheering for this bill!

Well, good!
More empirical evidence there are good things happening in American culture, even though it's hard to see sometimes.

I'm not sure that this is a good thing. I don't like legislation written specifically against a lawful organization, no matter how much we don't like that organization. What's to stop a Dim Congress from writing laws explicitly punishing conservative groups?All it would do is withdraw your and my tax dollars from funding an anti-american group. It's a way of defunding the left, who live on our tax dollars.

They already have. It's called "hate crimes" legislation.

ACLU has been using legal extortion, has supported pedophiles, and has gone groups such as NHS who dare to emphasize good character. They actually got the NHS to cave in at least twice.

What are you smoking? You do realize, don't you, that all this bill does is slow the flow of tax dollars to this organization. The bill isn't "anti" anything. You sound like one of those people who wonders how the government "is going to pay for tax cuts".
To: Jay777
In case someone has not already asked, why does the House have to pass legislation to ensure what is already guaranteed by our Constitution?
To: highball
Being a commie is not against the law. Perhaps you are right technically, but look at what aspiring citizens of this land face:
"A person cannot become a citizen who, at any time during a period of ten years just before he or she files an application for naturalization, has been a member of or connected with the Communist Party or a similar party within or outside the United States; or a member of, or connected with any other government, other party or organization that is against all organized government or for world communism, dictatorship in the United States, overthrowing the United States Government by force, injuring or killing officers of the United States, or sabotage."

IMO we need to be more specific and forceful in what it means to be an American. It certainly does not mean proscribing religious expression, which is the apparent aim of the ACLU.
To: highball
I'm not sure that this is a good thing. Why should taxpayers fund this or any other similar group?
To: HuntsvilleTxVeteran
You mean my money has been going to those commies!!!!/sarc
