ACLU up to the Usual
For misguided political reasons, our government has neglected one of its most fundamental duties by refusing to provide an adequate defense of our borders. Displaying the spirit that has made this country great, private citizens calling themselves Minutemen are pitching in to patrol the Mexican border on a volunteer basis, in order to keep out terrorists, drug-smugglers and other hostile invaders. Displaying the spirit that has caused them to be loved by the Left and thoroughly reviled by everyone else, the ACLU is trying to get in their way. Details at Evilwhiteguy's Blog.
Also stop by Stop the ACLU for the latest on the ACLU's cartoonishly malevolent, 25-year campaign to destroy the Boy Scouts. Employing their usual extortion tactics, the leftist thugs have coerced the Scouts into removing the charters of thousands of scouting units from public schools by threatening lawsuits against schools that can't afford the lawyers to fight back.
No one disputes that the Boy Scouts, with their emphasis on character development and values-based leadership training, have had an overwhelmingly positive influence on millions of children. So why does the ACLU hate them so much? I would leave that for a theologian to explain — it has to do with the nature of evil.

So... which is it?
-Bash the ACLU we despise, that advocates for illegals, God-haters, and anti-American terrorists; or (as you pointed out at Evilwhiteguy)
-Respect the ACLU that stands up for valid issues such as Rush Limbaugh's situation of gov't unfairly impinging on personal rights and privacy?
I think there's probably much more cause for the former than the latter, so I tend to be very skeptical of the latter. Seems the ACLU does get an inordinate amount of 'fair and balanced' press for every such case they do take, perhaps because the MSM wants to run cover for them? Color me cynical...

When you consider the founder was a communist and communism is their goal, and their taking the Boy Scouts off of military bases, removing any reference to God like a little cross on the Los Angeles seal (what would it have hurt to leave it there?), so many things about the ACLU that's not good when you look at their history and their members...the fact that they defend terrorists and don't use terrorist watch lists (which should preclude them from federal funding)...and that's just a few of the destructive things they've done with our tax dollars...at the very least they shouldn't be on the government dole.
