The ACLU vs. America.
« on: September 02, 2007, 04:14:49 PM »
Heh, got a funny letter from some crazy anti-aclu evangelical Christian group, here's some of the funny bits:

"No organization is more determined to shake America from its Christian moorings than the ACLU. For eight decades, it waged an often uncontested courtroom war against America's core values. But now, Christians finally have a champion to fight back-and win!"

"An urgent message from ADF president Alan Sears

Dear friend, for more than 80 years, the ACLU has fought for legal rulings that censor America's Christian heritage and overturn our traditional values. Christians lost many of these battles, not because the ACLU lawyers were better prepared, more skilled, or even right on the issues-we lost all too often because we failed to show up to fight. No longer! By God's grace, the Alliance Defense Fund has proven itself very effective against the ACLU and it's allies in battle after courtroom battle. But there is still much work to do. If we're ever going to restore our Funding Father's vision for America, we need your prayers and support for our National Campaign to Stop the ACLU. Gifts of $35, $50, and $100 are urgently needed. With your gifts of $35 or more, I'll be glad to send you a free copy of THE ACLU VS. AMERICA, a book I co-authored with ADF vice preisdent Craig Osten. My hope is that you will find this an indispensable resource for understanding and combating this powerful foe in the battle to restore America's religious freedom and traditional values.

P.S. In addition to supporting ADF, you can also help defeat the ACLU by returning your signed Message of Concern to President Bus. We'll deliver your petition directly to the White House. Thank you."

"TO: President George W. Bush

As a ministry friend of the Alliance Defend Fund, I am sending you this Message of Concern for one crucial reason: to ask that you please stand strong, and instruct the Department of Justice to do likewise, against the ACLU's aggressive effort to censor our nation's Christian heritage, overthrow marriage, and further erode the sanctity of life. For more than 80 years, the ACLU has abused the judicial system and the American public with a nonstop campaign to turn our traditional values upside-down and inside-out. We must not give in to the demands of the ACLU to purge every trace of America's Christian moorings from the public sphere. I hope that you will stand up to this threat from within our nation as vigorously as you have stood up to foreign threats in the war on terror. Please know that I will be praying for you and for our nation, the God would enable us to defeat any effort to destroy our first liberty-religious freedom-and to erase our true Judeo-Christian heritage from our nation's memory. Thank you, and God bless you."

What an idiot. I think you'll agree he's dumber than me.  ::)

What?

I think the ACLU is a great organization, they just get caught up in asinine arguments, when they should be going after bigger stuff like DMCA and the patriot act.

QFT

The ACLU makes it such a point that they're willing to defend anyone's right to free speech that they end up defending heinous organizations like white supremacists and whatnot.  They should focus more on fighting against governmental spying and censorship and whatever, but I guess that doesn't grab juicy headlines the same way or something.

for once, an foc opinion i can get behind. the aclu is really squandering their resources by going after local religious zealots, plus doing so is just lazy -- those cases are easy wins. they should really be attacking the suspension of habeas corpus or the new wiretapping laws. localized dipshit religiosity and the small-time fascism it engenders, while nice to see get smacked around, is not worth the effort when our very civil liberties are getting pissed on for political pork.

Defending white supremacist, holocaust-deniers with a jewish lawyer is based on their belief that justice should be blind.

They don't try to piss people off.  If they can't defend people's right to say something then they're worthless.

As for today, I don't think they have a chance against the government

There are a couple of occasions where I think they do try to go into small towns to piss people off. In those situations I just say let sleeping dogs lay. Is it really hurting anyone that Mayor Joe Blow hangs the ten commandments in his office?

They really need to go after the DMCA and other police state shit that is going down now.

How are we supposed to convince the American people that the war in Iraq is wrong when most justify it because "we're killing terrorists!" "If we leave it'll become a haven for terrorists, and they'll setup terrorist training camps."? I think the ACLU is good but as has been said, they won't deal with the big issues, instead going after the weak easily winnable cases.
