Good post. I’m in STL and things are looking bleak for the Eastern Missouri chapter when Ray Hartman is brought in to steady the ship. Hartman is the definition of Moon Bat. He is the local poster boy for the extreme-ultra-socialist left and is a true blue radical. He is also incredibly divisive not only with right of center people but a lot of left leaning people. Pure and simple he is probably in my opinion the most divisive public person in STL………………..

Infighting at the ACLU? Sounds a lot like the infighting among the labor unions these days. That’s the trouble with such liberal organizations: Ultimately it’s more about “what can I get out of it?” than “how can we work together?”

Maybe this is a trend. Some of our younger generation is starting to recognise the evils of the liberal agenda. Check this out:

A good sign, if you ask me.

Sorry Gribbit… I looked at the wrong place when I saw who posted it. I’m not used to the new design yet.

As to Socialism being Communism Light, I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. I think that monitoring company activities to ensure they don’t abuse their privileges is important. I also believe that having things like Social Security, in some form or another, is important too. This is why I’m a Socialist. I don’t believe in government having control but I DO in government taking part. Cheers!

Actually Joseph, this is one of my rantings. And to me Socialism is Communism Light.

Good post Jay but I think you had one thing wrong: they wanted to make America a Communist nation, not a Socialist one. A Socialist nation is one like Canada; a Communist one is a nation like the old Soviet Union. I’m a Socialist myself but definitely not a Communist.

I had never paid attention to the ACLU much before 2004 but when I finally started to notice what they were up to, even the most Liberal part of me screamed out in rage. That organization is evil and 90% of its goals and accomplishments are also evil. I have always been an advocate for the good aspects of the ACLU to leave and start their own organization. That would be the best way out of the mess and perhaps would lead to the final death knell for the ACLU. I wouldn’t miss them, that’s for sure.

That organization is evil and 90% of its goals and accomplishments are also evil. I have for a long time suggested that the good aspects of the ACLU should leave and start their own organization. That would be the best way out of the Left-Wing quagmire the ACLU has gotten us into and perhaps it would lead to the final death knell for a body long deserving of being brought to an end. I wouldn’t miss them, that’s for sure.
