Mxsmanic wrote: Gig 601XL Builder writes: 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. Actually, the ACLU has an extremely consistent record of unconditionally defending civil liberties, without respect to race, creed, color ... or popularity. From the ACLU web site: "Majority power is limited by the Constitution's Bill of Rights, which consists of the original ten amendments ratified in 1791, plus the three post-Civil War amendments (the 13th, 14th and 15th) and the 19th Amendment (women's suffrage), adopted in 1920." Yet never once have they defended the 2nd amendment. Or the 9th, 10th... Their take on the others is anything but consistent. See how often they've intervened when a conservative or libertarian, such as Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Ward Connerly, etc., have been shut down, intimidated.... |

I especilly like this from the ACLU site "IN BRIEF The national ACLU is neutral on the issue of gun control. We believe that the Constitution contains no barriers to reasonable regulations of gun ownership. If we can license and register cars, we can license and register guns. " I wonder how they would react if there were a law that required you to be registered to speak? I liked this part: "But it is notable that the gun angle did not prevent the Texas chapter from getting involved, despite the national organization's position that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms." Something stinks to high hell....kinda like the Vatican holding $$TRILLIONS in art treasures and real estate and telling the rest of the world to "feed the poor". |

What a pity that valuable court resources are consumed by the ACLU's bilge. Don't give them any ideas. They're already working overtime to come up with such daffyness. |

As a matter of fact I'd place them on pretty equal levels of "not a good thingness." Sorry. I didn't really mean to imply that you did. I was trying to create that sense of often parallel, extreme ideologies that are, as you say, "not a good thingness" Extreme ideologies...like liberty? I mean the real thing, not the current Republicrat collectivism/statism thing. |

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] Perhaps they're using this suit to get information under "discovery" to find out what the CIA is really up to. Then when they get the info, they'll drop the suit and go after the real perps... This current administration has been consistently expanding the power of the executive thru a bizarre flurry of signing statements and other policy decisions that severely threaten our rights under the constitution. As compared with his predecessor, the top "Executive Orders" issuer, who didn't have even a single minor crisis during his regime? |

That's two you don't put together often unless there is a "v." in between them. |

Before you shove your poop encrusted foot into your mouth, you might find out the beliefs of the person you are refering to. Doesn't matter. I'm willing to discuss things with most rational people of any belief. Unless he/she believes a christian theocracy is preferable....then it still doesn't matter. -- Message posted via http://www.aviationkb.com |

I mean the real thing, not the current Republicrat collectivism/statism thing. I don't think I suggested liberty was an extreme ideology. Erosion of our liberties is to what I refer and republicrat, fascism, statism are not preferable either. -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200706/1 |
