ACLU Attacks Santorum

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of a group of young women who claim their constitutional rights were violated when they were ordered to leave a book signing event featuring Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Wilmington, claims that two of the women were arrested for trespassing last year and three others threatened with arrest because of their political views.
According to the lawsuit, in August the women went to a Barnes & Noble store at Concord Mall in Wilmington to challenge Santorum at an event advertised as a book signing and discussion of his book, “It Takes a Family.”
The women were ordered to leave by a uniformed state trooper providing security at the event after a member of Santorum’s promotional team overheard them talking before the Republican lawmaker arrived, according to the lawsuit.
Dan Rheil thinks the news in conviently timed. He also has all the details you need to see how this is nothing but a political attack.
Thanks to Google’s cache feature I was able to find an email of an article dated Aug 22, 2005 from an apparent activist editor. Along with her calling Bush and Santorum the gestapo, she also wrote or posted text of conversations with the ACLU at the time. Quote – a year ago “they are considering their options”. Seems they considered them just long enough to impact a campaign.

It sounds politically motivated. The event happened on private property which gives the owner/renter the right to kick them off the premises. Trespassing charges probably occurred when they refused to leave. This is SOP when you have an argumentive guest. As usual the ACLU is full of it.
Oh, Rick Santorum, how I do love thee… I won’t bash Santorum any, because Dan Savage and his readers already did the ultimate number on him in what was arguably the greatest anti-bigot statement in history. I’d post the story here, but I’m sure it would just get censored. If you’d like to read all about it, simply Google “Santorum”. It was Google-bombed all the way to the top!
CR,
Please don’t tell me you are gullible enough to buy that it is bigotry to consider homosexuality a crime. I suppose you also think it is bigoted to view murder, pedophile, theft, etc as a crime. Homosexuality can cause sickness and death to a significant percent of those that chose to embrace it. That makes it an act of tyranny as it deprives human beings of their right to health and life. Only fools believe self destructive behavior is a natural human right. Do you know how much taxpayers have to pay the medical community so homosexuals can get their AIDS treatment.
Holy crap. Homosexuality a crime… That’s just… Wow. An act of tyranny, too. That’s wrong on so many levels… something like six hundred sixty-six of ‘em. I can hardly even write complete sentences right now. What do you even say to someone who says something like that? Help me out here, BV. I think for now I’ll just pat you on the head and tell you you’re adorable.
“Homosexuality can cause sickness and death to a significant percent of those that chose to embrace it. That makes it an act of tyranny as it deprives human beings of their right to health and life.”
I’m so glad you made this point, kerwin, because I have been writing my congressman for years trying to convince him that eating french fries is an act of tyranny. As you know, a large percentage of those who eat french fries end up obese and afflicted with heart disease, and I have to spend my tax dollars on their triple-bypass surgeries and blood-pressure meds even though I do not personally eat french fries.
That liberal moonbat hasn’t returned a single letter yet.
Maven,
I don’t remember a study that shows a large amount of those who eat french fries end up obese. I did hear the FDA was moving to restrict portion size in restaurants and that public schools were limiting the sale of pop and sweets. When you find that 50% of HIV/Aids cases occur in homosexuals who make up less than 5% of the population. When you consider that heterosexuals also engage in sodomy and that drug use is a risk factor it looks like homosexuality is a major health risk. Studies indicating that homosexuals live significantly shorter life spans that average. The shear medical cost to taxpayers means that government is well justified in restricting both homosexuality and our eating habits.
It is foolish to fight HIV/Aids while allowing the causes for it’s spreading to continue. The 15% normal usage failure rate for condom means that approximately 1 out of ever 6 homosexuals that bother to use a condom can be exposed will be exposed to AIDs/HIV. Your chance get pretty dismal the longer you engage in homosexuality unless you have a good immune system or are lucky.
CR,
You might want to talk to Thomas Jefferson who is credited with writing the U.S. Declaration of Independence as he proposed a law that stated that homosexuals should castrated. I suppose you believe TJ and the other founders were religious extremist and did not have a clue what natural human right were all about.
Ummm…of course they don’t think our founders understood basic human rights. They will tell you that they had slaves…so how could they?
I don’t think you’re taking this far enough, kerwin.
In the years since french fries were first approved as “vegetables” by our public school lunch programs, childhood obesity has ballooned. Numerous studies have linked fry-heavy fast food to the obesity epidemic.
And when you consider that poor diet and inactivity kill twenty times more Americans than sexual behaviors, it becomes abundantly clear that eating french fries is at *least* as much of a public health menace as being gay, so the solution is clear: we outlaw both. No more sodomy and no more french fries. Problems solved.
I don’t think you’re taking this far enough, Maven.
We need to ban everything that’s the least bit dangerous to our health: guns, cars, scissors, aspirin, dogs, snakes, bees, paper, lawn mowers, food, bright lights, loud noises, books, the Internet, water, fire, bees, the ACLU, war, peace, winter, summer, comets, asteroids, the sun, the universe, and bees.
Just kneel and pray on the floor of a vacuum chamber until you suffocate and die.

As for TJ, whatever. He was a pretty brilliant man and did a lot of good, but he also had some really evil and stupid ideas.
Actually, if you just outlaw liberal stupidity, you’d eliminate baby-killing, keep drug addiction illegal, keep prostitution illegal, keep guns LEGAL, punish crime, enforce the law, and actually fight terrorism. We’d all be a lot safer. Not to mention it would eliminate most of treason.
“Murder — and specifically, infanticide — is already illegal, isn’t it?”
No, not when idiot liberals like yourself still act like killing 1.3 million fetuses a year isn’t murder. But nice effort.
““…punish crime, enforce the law, and actually fight terrorism.”
These aren’t being addressed? ‘
Not by liberals, at least the punishment part, or law enforcement. Unless you call giving 12 million illegal immigrants law enforcement, in which I’d ask what definition you use for “enforcement.”
“Yep, people are regularly convicted of treason in America.”
Actually, they don’t, which is the whole problem.
“and darkies with their legal weapons.”
What’s a “darky?”
“with the IQ if 70 were rushing around”
You have yet to show your IQ is any higher than that of a soap dish. But thanks for the entertainment. I love reading idiotic statements from lonely retards. Your blog must be getting slow again. I know, write a post about me, like you do everyone else. That kill another 30 seconds of your uneventful day.
“Can you point me to a legal statute that indicates that healthcare workers or pregnant women complicit in terminating pregnancies can be charged with murder?”
No, because of idiot liberals like yourself, as I’ve pointed out.
“What “law enforcement” are they being given?”
If you consider giving 12 million illegals a pass law enforcement, you are an idiot, as I’ve said. It is liberal ideology, whether they have a D or an R in front of their name matters little to me.
“So you’re in a better position than the Republican-led government to decide who should be tried for treason?”
I’m merely following the law. Aren’t terroristic threats to the President considered treason?
” Until you at least try, you will be nothing but an illiterate adult infant wailing away and smashing his little fisty-poos on the keyboard ”
Sounds like the Beaming Idiot blog I read the other day…
The less guys like you around, the safer the world will be. Please don’t ever reproduce.
“Sure you are. Except when it comes to the legal definition, of, say, murder.”
Which killing millions of fetus’s certainly falls under to those of us with logic. I can’t help it the “Republicans” in power don’t have the balls to do something about it.
“If someone asked me to come up with a parody character with your combination of righteousness, witlessness, Bible-thumping hypocrisy, and capacity for amusing others at your own expense, I couldn’t do it — but I don’t think anyone else could either”
Nice creativity with the insult, unfortunately it does little. In case you’ve missed it, BV is the joke of the blogosphere. You can claim your “advanced education”, and how no one on this site has any brains, but eventually you have to prove it. You have yet to prove anything except that you’re pissed at Stop The ACLU.
“Keep yelling IDIOTLIBERAL!IDIOTLIBERAL!IDIOTLIBERAL!JESUSSAVES!JESUSSAVES!JESUSSAVES! between thumb-sucking sessions”
I don’t suck my thumb for two reasons:
1. I’m not an idiot liberal.
2. Jesus does save.
And you actually cheer me up whenever you post. Any time I have any doubt about my intelligence or salvation, I merely read your posts, since you lack both, and I’m reassured that I’m definitley not an idiot, and I am saved from my sins. Thank you. You’re an evangelist and never knew it.
