The specter of the ACLU strikes my employer!
The hospital I work for can no longer accept any gifts, or services, that have any religious affiliations for the children's hospital! That will include Christmas gifts, songs, coloring books, ect! Never mind the hospital is a Catholic hospital, started and run by nuns for many years until sold to a large heath care conglomerate. The hospital is still known as a Catholic hospital but, the kosher crowd runs the show, though, for now, the nuns are still working there in various capacities. For now, it is taboo for any abortions but, I suspect that will change soon as there is great demand for the service and the corporation is all about the bottom line. It makes me sick to see the children be the ones to suffer while the evil ones avoid any controversy and play the PC role, in public....

Is The ACLU out of control. (Quote from this Article).
"The ACLU is out of control. They can no longer even pretending to support freedom, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. What once may have been an organization dedicated to high ideals has now degenerated into a literal threat to our liberty. They are going beyond just trying to prosecute every Boy Scout troop and are now moving on to either sue people just like you and me, or actually have us arrested and subjected to criminal prosecution. How ironic it is that a group who thinks terrorists should not be in prison feels that those who disagree with them should. Sounds a little like the ACLU is no longer endorsing civil liberties but political prisoners".
The ACLU was founded by a couple of known Communists Party members.
Nuff said . . .
Everybody and his brother in the way of idealists and activists was a communist for a little while back then. After all, the commies had just booted out the brutal, repressive Tzarist system in Russia. When people realized after a few years that the communists had replaced it with something just as bad or even worse, most of them bailed out of the Party.
Not too long after it's founding, the ACLU booted the ones who had stayed communist.

The fact remains, the aclu seems to always back the most unpopular points of view. Can anyone think of anything good the aclu has done, or been a large part of? Just curious. Personally, I've never heard one good thing they have done, or been responsible for.

The National Civil Liberties Bureau (NCLB) is established.
In Defense of American Liberties - A History of the ACLU, Samuel Walker, p. 20, Southern Illinois University Press (2nd ed. 1999.)
"Organized by Crystal Eastman and Roger Baldwin, The bureau was an offshoot of the American Union Against Militarism (AUAM), which since 1914 had led the opposition to America's entry into war."

In the "Merry Christmas ACLU" thread, post #11, I listed eight times in the last couple of years the ACLU has stood up for an individual Christian's religious rights or a Christian church's religious rights.
