who thinks the aclu is politically motivated?

They have a far left Anti American organization. They are on the side of the Democrats. If there was a viable Communist party they would be on their side.\nJust realize this. This is not the same ACLU in the past. Their leader, Romero used to be the head of the American Communist Party.\nThey are rabid atheists and believers in one world government. Their goal is to weaken the USA, to fulfill their worldly goals.\nThey are representing NAMBLA for free. That is the North Am Man Boy Love Association. A group that provides advice on how grown men can rape little boys and get away with it.\nWe have a free society, granted. But a devisive Anti American group like this should be put out of business.

No.\n\nGenerally, the ACLU advocates for people whose RIGHTS are being violated--that'd be civil liberties, equal protection, due process, etc. Smoking cigarettes--like driving--is a PRIVILEGE, not a right.\n\nIf the government said that no one under 18 could drive, I'm pretty sure the ACLU wouldn't give a damn, seeing as most state governments already say that no one under 16 or 17 can drive and they don't seem to care much about that.\n\nOn the other hand, if the government said that no one who is Jewish or a communist or black or a Ku Klux Klan member is allowed to drive, then I'd say that's something the ACLU just might get involved in.\n\nIf they say no one is allowed to smoke indoors in your state, well, that just sucks. Wait until they start saying that everyone is allowed to smoke indoors--except Filipinos--and then think about giving the ACLU a call.

The truth be known, and admitted by "RUSH LIMBAUGH" him self, the "ACLU GOT RUSH LIMBAUGH OFF" They helped this loud-mouth, and protected his civil rights to search and seizure. Another NEO_CON story the NEO_CON'S wont tell the truth about, because Clinton must have done it, some how.

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).

The ACLU has one mission and one mission only -- to defend the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. It may not always choose the best examples, but the goals are always the same. To preseve the Constitutional protections set forth by the Framers.\n\nMany people believe that defending the Constitution is un-American.\nMany people beieve that the Constitution should be sacrificed, or at least ignored, when it gets in the way of what they think is important.\n\nPersonally, I think that anyone who is willing to ignore the Constitution to suit their own agenda has foresaken the values that this country was founded upon. And any organization -- like the ACLU -- that defends the Constitution in court, especially when doing so is unpopular, should be respected for preserving the American values that this country supposedly holds dear.

The ACLU is all about accepting donations under the pretense of helping those who are wronged.

ACLU & AFL-CIO--The ALCU would have less of an interest in workers rights as compared to civil rights but alas, sometimes they are one in the same.  The AFL-CIO is an organization representing many of our modern day trade unions and their concerns are absolutely concentrated to preserving workers rights.

First of all, the ACLU would have nothing to do with this case. They generally only take cases involving the government infringing on people's civil liberties.\n\nSecond of all, where's your source for this case? You have a few specific details, so surely you must have some news story or a link of some kind to more information? I have a hard time believing your statement.\n\nThird of all, the answer to your question is "no."

As a proud American citisen, I 100% support there legal right to do it, if it is on public property. But let me tell you, if it was a family member/friend/anybody I knew, the minute any protestor (be it peace/war/gay/holy-roller) step one hair across my property line without my permission, thier carcas is mine! I belive strongly in free speach, so on public property, as much as I'd like to rip thier damn sighs right out of thier hands, and break it over thier heads, I do not, because I actualy do belive in gay rights (even though I am not gay, I support freedom, unlike some), and most importantly I belive in free speach FOR ALL, no matter how much they pi$$ me off. If they did this at a funeral that I was in attendance, I would use my freedom of speach to chant inflamitory remarks, and mock the protestors. Also, if they approached me, or somone else to where I thought they/me were threatened, I would not hesitate to draw my 45cal in the name of self defense, and make a citisens arrest (I am a strong believer in vigilante justicE). As for cursing in public, I could care less as long as I can curse back at the M****r F*****s (I can proudly hold my own in a cursing match, and have a very loud voice). I hate (scratch that, Royaly Dispise) anybody that has/is/will use a funeral for ANY kind of protest, even if I agree with what they're protesting, but like I said, I hold back my hatred on public property, but the minute they cross onto my property I will shoot to kill (once again, weather I agree, or dissagree with them)...\n\n...and this is coming from a fiscaly conservative, social liberal (independant, pro gay rights, anti IRAQ war, not anti Afghanistan war, anti Bush/Bushite)...\nCan you even begin to imagine how mad/dangerous I would be if I were some right-stealing republican/right-winger/"conservative"/holy-roller/(you get the idea) or If I were a democrat/left-winger/"liberal/baby-killer/(you get the idea).\n\n\nBottom line...\nPeople on both sides get me so pi$$ed off, and either side (the demoncraps or retardicans) will object to (or promote) free speach when it is convienient for them (agrees with them), it is unAmerican, and makes me sick.\n\nI am for these individules legal rights to protest/curse/whatever on private property for any reason, at any time, however to do so at somones funeral (one of our great, fallen american heroes, none the less), is dispicable, and should be looked down on by society with great hatred\n\nBesides isn't it irony that they be so rude to those who who died so that they could be so rude? I'm sure it really helps whatever cause they're protesting (sarcasm).\n\nJust because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD\n\nIt's like burning the American flag on american soil (I support peoples rights to do this as well, even though I find it sickening), isn't it ironic that they burn the flag of a nation, that allows them to burn the flag (irony? ANYBODY), and also the same country of which they are most likely citisens? Try doing that in Iran, with the Iranian flag, SEE WHAT HAPPENS! in the end, that is what makes America great, that we are free to do as we please, no matter how stupid it is, and I say we should have a counter protest (an even louder/more obsene one) against the dirt-bags that would dare to protest at ANYBODY'S funeral for ANY reason.\n\nMay the government of, by, and for itself be torn down, and destroyed... and the government of, by, and for the people rise again!\n\nGod bless the REAL America!

Yes, I am proud to say that I have donated to the ACLU.\n\nAnd no, I have not donated to NAMBLA, nor did the ACLU donate to NAMBLA. Read the actual case, not the canned headlines.\n\nThe law in question would have forced them to take down their website, which did not actually advocate any illegal activity. As sick as NAMBLA's goals might be, they -- like everyone else -- are entitled to the same legal protections for actions which are legal. Their website was not illegal, and did not actually advocate illegal activity (even if other parts of the group did). So the law in question was unconstitutional.\n\nIt's easy to claim that we have freedoms if nobody ever attempts to use them. It's when you see someone that you hate, saying something that makes you sick, that those freedoms are at risk. If the govt can silence someone, just because the majority doesn't like what they say, then we don't have freedom of speech.\n\nThe ACLU defends the rights of anyone to speak, no matter how unpleasant the message, as long as its legal. And while I may not like the message that's being protected, I cherish the rights of free speech that allow that message to be spoken.\n\nAnd I'm proud to support a group that fights for everyone's rights, even when some of the people exercising those rights are unpopular.

the only thing the ACLU wants from Americans is our tax money... I think they should be taken off the list!

Yes.\nThey say they're tolerant but clearly are not towards Christians.  The only time you see the left wing leaders at a church is when they're posturing for election.  The aclu is actively fighting against the freedom of religion for Christians and Scouts.\n \nYou can't really fault Bush from treading lightly with China, they are anti-Christian bigots...billions of them, with lots of weapons.  Same with Russia.  You don't slap a sleeping tiger or bear.

The same reason why the ACLU supports disgusting terrorists who want to kill civilians.  The ACLU has a noble cause, but doesn't stop to look at the bigger picture.  Do people have a right to be gay?  Sure.  But they can not rape little children

The ACLU defends our constitution, which is more than you can say for our current president. The ACLU defended Rush Limbaugh when he was in trouble for all those pills he was popping. Don't criticize something you don't understand.
