The ACLU is not "American!"
Why isn’t the ACLU at the forefront of supporting Iran’s right to have nuclear weapons? Well, in its own way it is. By doing all in its power to destroy every vestige of America’s heritage and culture, attacking efforts at making English our national language by law and supporting ballots printed in a polyglot of foreign tongues, attacking every attempt to secure our borders, defending the rights of perverts and criminals rather than their victims thereby emasculating police from doing the job of protecting law abiding citizens, in short attempting to destroy any American identity as a nation by attempts to make us over into the image of the ACLU or destroy our nation the organization is blindly handing Iran and all other enemies of America the support of the organization.

Reading this crap makes the ACLU look better and better. If it wasn't for them, this country would go down the "Sam drain". posted by

So we meet again, Sam. Look, I think you're a smart guy and we differ on some things, so I'll show you the respect you deserve. To call the ACLU unAmerican is to call the Bill of Rights unAmerican, because that is what they defend. Now, if you'd like to discuss your displeasure with certain positions of theirs, fire away. I'm happy to go toe to toe with you where we disagree and commiserate where we do. As for the ACLU, they defend all of our rights every time they fight for something. But let's be clear that they aren't Anti-American and they certainly aren't Anti-Christian. I'd argue that anyone who wants to post the 10 commandments in secular halls of government is Anti-Christian because they are handing the Bible to Caesar. posted by

Sam's gotten his directive from the republican talking points issued by Limbaugh, Geraldo Rivera and Bill O'riley (3 of our most cherished charlatins). Marilee had better watch out. Sam's a comin. Thank You ACLU for protecting the rights of all Americans. Even Sam. If it weren't for you we'd be just like Cuba or China. posted by

Herbert Hoover is not in office Sam, regardless of what your biological clock my tell you. Our bill of rights is not as clear as it used to be, this is the twenty first century and after a relatively few years of Republiken government they heve erodes badly and the ACLU is the only buffer left between the people and dictatorship.
" Our heritage and culture as a nation, our very beginnings as a nation is firmly rooted in the Bible and the Christian religion". Who exactly is "our heritage" or are you the grand puba who speaks for us all, sice we have no other choice, right? Get a life, there are other people outside that Tehachapi cave of yours. "the necessary racial profiling" get a life there is already too much racial profiling and this phony war on terror is just making it easy for those whose racial hatreds fit your mode to operate. The ACLU at this point is constitution's only salvation. posted by

Sam, I smell cognitive dissonance. How do you feel about the ACLU filing suit to stop "Caesar Bush" from tapping phone lines without a warrant? . I envision a TV commercial in which a solemn voice intones: "These individuals have been found to support the terrorists over the American Way of Life," followed by screen images of Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Franklin... posted by

This administration has repeatidly shown that it cannot tell the truth to the American People, so what are they hiding? This isn't about the ACLU. It's about Bush not getting the warrants required by law. posted by

In this case, the ACLU's positions are 100% right. BTW, thanks for yet another direct link to a far-righter denying that freedom should exist. "They hate us for our freedoms" -- and thanks to Tony's help, you can read it in their own words. posted by

The purpose of copyright law is to protect and enhance creativity. But the recording industry has been allwed to take copyright to such absurd extremes as to inhibit and chill creativity. This must be stopped. posted by

I don't like ANY organization to step up and decide that THEY will decide FOR me. They stick their noses into places where it doesn't belong. posted by

Well, at least I see and understand your perspective. (Argh, there I go being fair again.) . I actually agree that they push the Establishment Clause farther than it was intended. The difference, though, between myself and some other folks is that I do understand that they are -- in the long run -- trying to protect religious freedom by severing it as much as possible from government connections. posted by

. The ACLU does *NOT* set itself up to be the "decider." They let the courts do that. That's how the writers of the Constitution set it up. . Both sides of the religion-in-schools issue push the Establishment clause of the First Amendment. Thank God--again--the ACLU is there to push back. . I just wish they'd get their internal organization straightened out. It may be time for Romero to go. But don't fault the organization because their leader may be bad. That would be like hating America because George W. Bush is a blithering idiot. posted by

. Tom DeLay isn't doing anything (well, except running for Congress and facing a jury trial). But "Hot-Tub-Tommy" doesn't have the same cachet as "Tail-Gunner-Joe." But certainly he fits the rest of the requirements--having, at long last, no sense of decency. I say we go with him. . (I'd nominate "Turd Blossom" Karl, but I imagine he's too busy these days, what with yanking the terror warning lever everytime there's an election result he doesn't like. Expect the Terror Warning System to go to "Infrared Alert" just before November.) posted by

Paragraph 5: "They have insighted (?)"
I'm not going out of my way to nit-pick spelling -- rather, I know that writers dislike misspelling things.

In my opinion,
The Play, Jesus Christ Superstar, was SACaILIGIOUS (sp). That's why I didn't like it. There are MANY others (who've seen it)who feel the same way. I still think that the ACLU doesn't belong there. These kids, in a community, decided to act out this play. Let them.! if you don't agree with it (as I don't), don't go see it. The kids are still learning theatrical skills. That's what the tax dollars are paying for. They're also learning to think for themselves. Why should the ACLU take that away from them? I don't think they should. posted by

The spelling is "sacrilegious," since you appear to be soliciting for the correct spelling. Just think "sac" + "religious" and then switch the "i" and the "e". BTW, I'd agree. posted by

We were watching the cable TV show "COPS" the other day, and they showed New Orleans (pre-Katrina) cops busting people for prostitution. Anyhow, I felt pity for the cops having to arrest them for the positively stupid-sounding charge of "crimes against nature." How antiquated is that? Even the Old Testament of the Bible never made prostitution a crime, which puts consistent Dominionists in a pickle -- Dominionist Jay Rogers, who headed a Florida chapter of the Christian Coalition, said that prostitution should be legal because it was legal under Mosaic Law. Now clear-cutting rainforests -- that's a crime against nature. Meanwhile, in the "More Power To 'Em" department, there's this: http://www.reformer.com/sea... With resentment against the Religious Right growing fast among youth, may this catch on everywhere. posted by

I've seen "Hair" also. I wouldn't go and see it again though. I wouldn't vote to try and shut it down either. It's Art. If you don't like it, don't go and see it. It's as simple as that. As I said before I'll be my own Decider.
