I think your reply made the point. No organization is perfect. As such, when it gets bigger, its harder to control. Perhaps ACLU has become to big for itself.

The other problem is, while the ACLU has it’s place, groups within the ACLU are radical and those groups blemish the whole.

All it took for me was their defense of NAMBLA.
Unconscionable.

Stop The ACLU
Dear Jay
I probably have some agreement with you that the ACLU takes seperation of church and state way too far.I don’t see that a prayer at a graduation is any violation of a so-called seperation of church and state.Jay my problem aris…..

Both writers have a point.

Jay, at the end of the day, you have a choice. You can be a site whose focus is attacking the ACLU for its manifold abuses. You document them well. If that’s truly your focus, however, then this needs to be a non-partisan site, and stuff that’s unrelated to that agenda needs to go.

Or you can be a conservative/GOP site that happens to dislike the ACLU. Which means you accept up front that you won’t reach people who aren’t already at least leaning Republican.

Full freedom to write, or full effectiveness against the ACLU. You can have only one. Choose.

I cringe when I see unsourced attacks on the presidency (bush and the 4th amendment) regardless of who is sitting there. The ACLU is, sadly, a necessary evil sometimes with overreaching government, but as John says, it keeps tabs on its members, but rails against the government trying to stop terrorists by listening in to suspicious phone calls.

John, good response and on target. Please keep it up. For all of our sakes!

This is an example of why your blog is one of the most important ones on the internet. The ACLU is a daily unfettered attack against the basis for our life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They take millions of dollars away from the American people in lawsuits against schools and municipalities, not to mention non-profit organizations. They are a wheel in the legislate-by-judicial-fiat machine. They are a menace to society. Thanks for continually exposing their evil actions!
