ACLU sues Jeppesen for Flights

Normally I don't have a problem with the intent of the ACLU...they champion
the underdogs that most people hate, simply because some underdog someday
might be worthy of a champion. (The civil rights movement comes to mind.)

But...

....that's just stupid. It's actually worse than stupid, though, because
it's going to tangle Jeppesen up in a legal battle it doesn't deserve. Do
you suppose they'd sue United for carrying terrorist hijackers?

My problem with the ACLU is they promote themselves as defenders of the Bill
of Rights. Yet they are very selective of what rights they defend.

That's for sure. They are about the most hypocritical organization around.

Absolute BULL****. Dig into their origins and find what a fraud they were
and pretty much still are (past their sedate PR crap).

Which is emblematic of their origins, and their original (and even today)
purpose.

I suspect you DO know what they were, don't you?

Okay. I guess we're done here.

Oh jesus, you're not going to start spouting "Red Scare" crap are you?
Spare us. Communism (on a large scale) is dead.

But those that support socialism and would like to see it in place in this
country are, unfortunately, not.

Nor are those intent on a christian theocracy.

I don't support them either. As a matter of fact I'd place them on pretty
equal levels of "not a good thingness."

Before you shove your poop encrusted foot into your mouth, you might find
out the beliefs of the person you are refering to.
