"funny the ACLU has done more to protect individual rights and freedoms far more than any other group."
They have had their moments. "including your favourites." Who are my favorites? "are you against humans rights and the constitution Jerry?" Lord no. Unlike the ACLU, I am completely for the constitution. I am glad you brought up human rights though. Let's examine Charles Rust-Tierny<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Rust-Tierney>, a former ACLU executive, who argued against internet filters for library computers when the ACLU was fighting the Children's Internet Protect Act. He argued that limiting children's access to porn at the library would hinder their ability to learn and communicate. Seriously, he argued that. Anyway, he got arrested for possession of child porn. Wonder if he was concerned about the human rights of those children in the videos he was watching. He's serving a seven year sentence now. Maybe we should call Amnesty International. Or let's look at Barry Lynn, legislative counsel for the ACLU. In the 1980's he told the AG commission on Pornography the child pornography was protected by the constitution. He argued later that requiring porn producers to maintain records about the age of their performers was impermissible. ACLU - Looking out for the children. As for the Constitution, the ACLU selectively does defend parts. Then, there are the parts they choose not to defend. You know, like its assault on religion, specifically Christianity. In the eyes of the ACLU, the government or anyone acting in a public capacity must avoid practicing, teaching, or supporting religious or moral views of any kind. Kind of contradicts the Confederation Congress that said: Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. I'll concede that the Confederation Congress was not the Constitution Congress. However, of the 55 delegates in the Constitutional Congress, it looks like about 45 attended the Confederation Congress. In terms of attendees of both, it looks like it was about a 90+% correspondence. No doubt, the founding fathers did not want an established state religion. However, they did not want it shut out of public life or to keep people from speaking about it, which the ACLU does. "Why do you hate America so?" Project much? Not trusting the ACLU is hating America? Nice. Alinsky would be proud. J - I never thought this day would happen. . . . I wont have to work on putting gas in my car. I wont have to work at paying my mortgage. You know. If I help him, hes gonna help me. - Peggy Josep ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:332081 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
