ACLU Paranoia Rap: Weekend Entertainment

Posted on October 26, 2007

Its about a month old, but I hadn’t seen it yet. Its a great insight into the paranoia of the left, and just cheesy enough to be very entertaining. I’m not sure if THE ACLU are actually presenting this, but the credits claim so, and where I found it claims the title “acluvideos”. Regardless of official endorsement, it is insight into the ACLU perspective and that of its followers. So we present…Monsters Among Us!!!!! Just in time for Halloween!

Watch it again, less literally this time. I thought it was an interesting dramatization of legitimate concerns, with hyperbole sprinkled in of course. In case the metaphor wasn’t clear, the monster is technology and the chains are the Constitutional protections that keep this society from becoming purely Orwellian.

“it has proven harder to keep chained than it was to build”

“it’s easy to tell if you’re guilty or not
and if you’re not, you shouldn’t mind
because it doesn’t waste its time there
unless it looks into your mind and spies a crime there”

“the steel chains put in place to make sure we stay safe
have been rusted into red tape that’s too easy to break
weakened with fear-based legislation
that cheapens the constitution with alterations
that are helping the monster achieve liberation
as long as it is not free, we are.
If it gets free, we aren’t.”

I got the symbolism Jeff. Don’t you think it was a little overboard and paranoid in expression?

Ping! They should have called this video “paranoid bed-wetters.”

The ACLU is a sick joke. And if most Americans knew their dark history, they’d be even more of a joke than they are today.

Yes, that was the point. They put out bland analyses all the time and Average Joe never reads them. This was an attempt to state an important message in a viral way. Compare it to a TV commercial.
