“The ACLU has defended workers who want to wear a cross at work, the have defended a Catholic man who was being coerced to convert to the Pentecostal faith. These are just two quick examples.”
Oh please….don't even get me started ont he ACLU and how they do such great humanitarian work.
They work very hard all over the country to ban the Bible because they claim its hate language….then they turn around and protect NAMBLA literature.(North America Man Boy Love Association) They defend pedophile organizations.
Every hear of Jeff Curley?
The ACLU defended the two men who actively sought a boy with whom to copulate. They lured 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley of Cambridge, Massachusetts into their car as he played outside his home in October 1997. When Curley resisted their sexual advances, they choked him to death with a gasoline-soaked rag. Then they took the boy's body across state lines to their apartment in Manchester, New Hampshire. They molested the cadaver and stuffed it into a cement-filled Rubbermaid container. Finally, they crossed state lines again into Maine, where they tossed Jeffrey Curley's remains into the Great Works River, from which it was recovered within days.
Both men were convicted of the crimes and are serving life sentences. NAMBLA DEFENDED THE MEN PRO-BONO. They defended them because when they investigated the two mens apartments they found NAMBLA literature and manuals, "Rape and Escape" that graphically details pedophiles and how to make friends and lure their prey, rape, avoid detection and prosecuation.
The ACLU defended them (free speech) then asked the judge to impose a gag order on the case. So facts about NAMBLA wouldnt get out to the public. How ironic that the ACLU who claim to be defenders of free speech wanted a gag order.
After the 9-11 terrorist attacks the ACLU PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED a pamphlet in seven languages telling men how to legally avoid answering police who were conducting investigations into individuals who just might be in this country to disperse nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
Whose side are they on?
It is an interesting fact that the ACLU has been closely affiliated with the communist movement in the United States and was probed in the early 30’s by the United States House of Representatives special committee to investigate communist activities in the United States. On January 17, 1931, the committee report stated.
“The ACLU is closely affiliated with the communist movement in the U.S. and fully 90% of its efforts are on behalf of communists who have come into conflict with the law. It claims to stand for free speech, and free assembly but it is quite apparent that the main function of the ACLU is to attempt to protect the communists in their advocacy of force and violence to overthrow the Government, replacing the American flag by a red flag and erecting a Soviet Government in place of the republican form of government guaranteed to each State by the Federal Constitution.” (Claire chambers, The SIECUS Circle (Belmont, Mass.: Western Islands, 1977), 62.)
In 1969, David Gumaer a police undercover agent, revealed that “206 past leading members of the ACLU had a combined record of 1,754 officially cited Communist front affiliations. “ (Documentation about Gumaer was taken from William Donahue, The Politics of the American Civil Liberties Union (Piscataway, N.J.: Transaction Books, 1985).
Interesting and scary thought that Ruth Ginsberg, one of our Supreme Court Justices today, used to be an active and vocal ACLU member.
Personally I think the ACLU goes over the top protecting claiming that it speaks for the First Amendment. They are an evil organization. They have current policies advocating the legalization of child porn distribution and possession.
