ACLU suing to kick Boy Scouts out of everywhere. Did you know that?

Please refrain from generalizations like that.\n\nMany law suits follow any public or private organization.\n\nThe scouting program won a case years ago that stated that the BSA is a PRIVATE organization. As such, they have control over their own membership requirements and actions.\n\nCivil Liablility Union has every right to find things that may be against ITS own beliefs. If ACLU choses to nit pick the private BSA group, then so be it.\n\nDo your best to give the scouts the best moral standards they deserve. Don't worry about what what another organization is suing for.

The key word there is "legally".  No minor can give legal consent.  Period.\nI would love for you to post a link that proves your allegation that the ACLU supports the MBLA.\nThanks.  I'll be waiting.

I think shrty0525 is trying to protest the ACLU for helping picket soldier's funerals. I don't think an e-mail will help because they can filter the e-mails. The best is to have Law Makers passing laws on picketing any service personnel's funeral just out of respect for the family who needs to mourn.

Moslty its the media who are to blame. Its a catchy sound bite they love to use.\n\nAlso money!   Federal law allows for ACLU and Rainbow Push to sue anytime they want to. Even if they loose the case the taxpayers must pay the legal fees ($$$$$$$). So the more they can claim raicist the more jobs they have then more money flows in.

Of course they do not control Boy Scouts. However, the church has always been a very strong supporter of the program. I could also believe that there are 30,000 LDS troops because all young men are encouraged to participate in the program. \n\nAs to not allowing athiests or gays, it would be the Boy Scouts of America that makes the ultimate decision. If you are somewhat familiar with the program, however, it has a religious component to it and therefore, having an athiest in charge may defeat part of the purpose. Since it is an all male organization and in light of the many recent scandals involving male leaders and boys, it makes sense that there is some concern about putting such a person in a situation where they would be alone and unsupervised for long periods of time. \n\nThis, of course, is only my opinion and my way of trying to see the logic of the situation. I mean no offense to anyone and do not mean to insuate anything about anyone's ability to control themselves.

The ACLU should be called the Anti-Christian Liberals Union.  One thing is to stand up for the rights of some poor uneducated person who just got fired for no reason and can't defend himself from the big corporation, etc... but to be so totally against religion that you would proactively and without a single complaint, spend time and effort to stamp out prayer, etc from all government ceremonies, etc., is just insane.  The lawyers who work for and the people who support the ACLU really should look at themselves and ask, "isn't the fact that I am against religion (which in its best form, molds family values and keeps kids from being raised in broken homes, etc.), make me participant to the destruction of the very thing I am trying to protect (the well-being of the average person).  It is actually leading to the deterioration of our values as a society instead of contributing to them.  Don't be fooled... unless you are trash in society, you will never need their help.  Who knows if you are trash?  Not me.  I don't know, but you should... and if you are, you still have a chance to remedy yourself. But remember, once you do, they will no longer be interested in helping you because there will be no news value to it.

I know what case the ACLU is going to take up next.\n\nIf it is true that these people were arrested for praying, this is a serious constitutional rights violation.

I along with any sane person thinks the ACLU needs to be shut down using RICO statues for reasons such as this. I have no idea why any group would ever stick up for those who hurt the most helpless of us all, our young. NAMBLA is quite possibly the greatest abomination existing in our country. I think that anyone who hurts a child should be executed, locked up for life, or at least be forced to wear an ankle bracelet for life. And those who even attempt to hurt them should be locked up as well. I, as a parent, watch my kids like a hawk after watching this show. I also think the whole entrapment argument doesn't hold water as this is one of the most perverse and depraved criminal acts.

I was wondering the same thing myself when I asked some 'Easter' questions yesterday. The only thing I can think of,is that it is a religious holiday,and not everyone celebrates Easter. \n\n As for being associated with the ACLU? For the people that don't seem to know what this is,it stands for :American Civil Liberties Union.\n\nGood question! I wish I had a more definite answer for you! Zoya.

The ACLU's founder, Roger Baldwin, stated: "We are for SOCIALISM, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself... We seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the SOLE CONTROL of those who produce wealth. COMMUNISM is the goal." (Source: Trial and Error, by Geo. Grant)\n\nThe ACLU is destructive to the fabric of our society. Christians must recognize Satan as the source - the instigator - when the end results of an organization's efforts are only "to kill, to steal, and to destroy." All we need to is examine the (rotten) fruit. \n\nFollowing are some of the stated goals of the ACLU, from its own published Policy Issues:\n\nthe legalization of prostitution (Policy 211); \nthe defense of all pornography, including CHILD PORN, as "free speech" (Policy 4); \nthe decriminalization and legalization of all drugs (Policy 210); \nthe promotion of homosexuality (Policy 264); \nthe opposition of rating of music and movies (Policy 18); \nopposition against parental consent of minors seeking abortion (Policy 262); \nopposition of informed consent preceding abortion procedures (Policy 263); \nopposition of spousal consent preceding abortion (Policy 262); \nopposition of parental choice in children's education (Policy 80) \n-- not to mention the defense and promotion of euthanasia, polygamy, government control of church institutions, gun control, tax-funded abortion, birth limitation, etc. (Policies 263, 133, 402, 47, 261, 323, 271, 91, 85).

LOL! Are you Bill O'Reilly? You ask a question and then tell the answerer to shut up. You should thank the ACLU for your right to free speech.

somebody actually said republicans want to get paid salary for doing nothing?  you cant be serious.  wellfare and handouts sure seems more prevalent to me.\n\nand your idea is good but it would just be another excuse for the ACLU to use your tax dollars to sue right thinking people.

Nice Article...Interesting....Yea the ACLU is the bomb.....I Have actually filed 2 reports on behalf of clients with them within the last 2 weeks ... but.... what I find more interesting is the fact that RACISM leaves such a void where one's brain should be
