![]() Matt Barrow wrote: wrote in message oups.com... Wayne LaPierre of the NRA, Ollie North, and Kenneth Starr all support the ACLU. Does that mean they are socialists? First, do you have a cite for LaPierre and North? Starr, being a lawyer, probably would support them. I found it about a month ago at abcnews.com. I don't know if it's still there. And yes, to an extend, North and Starr have a lot of socialist in them (can't speak for LaPierre). In any case, your point is a non-sequitur. Well, I guess it would be if it were MY point. I fly, own an airplane, and I support the ACLU, although I think it picks and chooses its cases with a touch of hypocrisy. A _LOT_ of hypocrisy. Their original premise was not a matter of "principle of free speech". It was to avoid stifling the Communist Party USA's propaganda. Their main, original funding came from the Soviet NKVD (as demonstrated by the Soviet Archives). When they take on the universities and their speech code they'll have demonstrated they are no longer puppets. Gosh, you sound like a John Bircher, or a conspiracy theorist. ACLU took on the Communications Decency Act and got it declared null and void. It constantly monitors Bill of Rights violations by big brother. All due respect, I don't give a damn who founded it or about some unsubstantiated gossip claiming to have come from soviet archives. |
