The ACLU Page

It is difficult to imagine an organization that has had a greater negative impact on traditional American family values, and our culture in general, than the ACLU.  The work of the ACLU has little or nothing to do with promoting and protecting civil liberties.  The organization's ultimate goal appears to be the removal of the Christian religion from American culture.

At first glance, they don't seem to be making an effort to remove all religious observances from public life, just those connected to Christianity.  But apparently they want to remove everything from American society that is traditional and customary, in order to make our country a place where anything goes.

The ACLU thrives on fear, intimidation and litigation.  They frequently lose court battles, yet they persist.  Most of their success is the result of threatening to file lawsuits against individuals, organizations and local governments which oppose their views.

The Evils of the ACLU:  How the ACLU is Trying to Destroy America. [PDF]

ACLU sues school district to stop graduation at Conn. church.  Two Connecticut high school students whose district voted to hold June commencement for two high schools at an area megachurch are suing the district, saying the arrangement "coerces students and parents to receive the overwhelming religious message" of the church as the price of attending "a seminal event in their lives."

ACLU issues warnings for travel to Arizona.  The nation's top civil liberties group on Wednesday [6/30/2010] issued travel alerts for Arizona, saying the state's new law cracking down on illegal immigrants could lead to racial profiling and warrantless arrests.

Where is the ACLU now?
 Bailout Bill Would Require Banks to Track and Report Personal Checking Accounts to Feds.  It's amazing to watch the civil libertarians hide when Democrats propose the most sweeping intrusions of privacy in generations.  In addition to the litany of bad policies contained in the Dodd Financial Reform bill is this nugget on pages 1039-1040.  In short, it extends government reach to every deposit account of every citizen.

The ACLU Goes AWOL.  When George W. Bush was president, the ACLU and its liberal allies were driven nearly berserk by the possibility that the FBI might know what library books Americans had borrowed.  Under the terms of the health care legislation that President Obama signed into law earlier today, the IRS will have access to all of our most intimate medical records — and not one peep from the ACLU or anyone else on the Democratic side of the aisle in either the House or the Senate.

ACLU sues city school district and state over teacher layoffs.  The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups filed a lawsuit Wednesday [2/24/2010] on behalf of students at three of the city's worst-performing middle schools.

Nut-shelling Privacy Issues.  [The ACLU was] clearly AWOL during the Clinton years of Ruby Ridge, Waco, FBI investigations of peaceful militia groups and abortion clinic protestors.  They also remained silent when a federal agency SWAT-trooper in full riot gear pointed an automatic military assault rifle at a little boy named Elian Gonzales.

 ACLU & Communism:  What's the Difference?  I don't know how many individuals will be won over by this piece but we need to persuade as many as we possibly can.  Those individuals who seem to be generally good people but who view the ACLU as a civil rights organization need to examine the facts as outlined here.  If they are honest with themselves, they will see the ACLU in a totally different light than they currently do.

ACLU:  Spying for America's Enemies.  Savor the silence of America's self-serving champions of privacy.  For once, the American Civil Liberties Union has nothing bad to say about the latest case of secret domestic surveillance — because it is the ACLU that committed the spying.

ACLU:  Conceived In Tyranny.  From the beginning, the American Civil Liberties Union has aligned itself with America's adversaries.  Its unrelenting strategy has been to twist our Constitution into a weapon against American values and security.  ACLU founder and longtime executive director Roger Baldwin's infamous quote still haunts his organization today, a quarter-century after the radical activist's death:  "I am for socialism, disarmament and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion.  I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth.  Communism is the goal."

Florida Prayer Case Reveals ACLU Agenda to Criminalize Christianity.  Yesterday after an all-day hearing, Santa Rosa County, Florida, Principal Frank Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman were cleared of criminal contempt charges that arose from the simple blessing of a meal.  When they heard the decision, tears of joy and cheers swept through the throngs of people who had waited outside in the rain for over ten hours.

A Limited Love of Liberty.  When the American Civil Liberties Union comes under attack, the salvos are often launched from the right. ... On the right, the phrase "card-carrying member of the ACLU" is an insult; on the left, it is a credential  But now comes an anti-ACLU barrage from an unusual source:  a prominent liberal.  Wendy Kaminer, a lawyer, astute social critic and contributor to the Nation magazine and National Public Radio, is also a former member of the ACLU national board.

The ACLU:  Self-Righteous Fools and Fascistic Bullies.  [Scroll down]  I wish to announce that I despise the ACLU for its relentless attacks on Christianity and Judaism.  It's bad enough that they will wage battle on behalf of any busybody looking to banish Christmas and Hanukkah symbols from public places, including one's own front yard.  However, these very same lawyers will eagerly go to the mat to safeguard a Muslim's right to wear a disguise on her driver's license, a Navajo's right to ingest peyote, and a cultist's right to ritualistically slaughter small animals.

The ACLU's Terror Lobby.  The civilian trial of a leading terrorist is the culmination of a years-long campaign by the ACLU to handicap U.S. efforts in the war on terror. ... But, to the ALCU and its liberal allies, the al-Qaeda defendants are merely pawns in a larger game aimed at shackling the American and international forces who have been fighting al-Qaeda since 9/11.

Dismantling the USA, Part I.  [Scroll down]  This one man would later prove to be the greatest influence in bringing Communism to the shores of the USA and into its legal system.  Largely consisting of Communist disciples, in 1920 Baldwin was the central founder of the ACLU.  Of its establishment, Baldwin wrote:  ... "I don't regret being a part of the communist tactic which increased the effectiveness of a good cause.  I knew what I was doing.  I was not an innocent liberal.  I wanted what the Communists wanted!

ACLU:  Pipeline for Obama Judges.  For sixteen years, [Edward] Chen worked as a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, working on affirmative action, the death penalty, and discrimination cases, among other issues.  He was the second nomination of the day that had ties to the ACLU, leading Rep. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, to comment, "I think we're seeing a common DNA run through the Obama nominees, and that's the ACLU chromosome."

Civil Liberties Group Loses $20 Million Donor.  A longtime anonymous donor to the American Civil Liberties Union has withdrawn his annual gift of more than $20 million, punching a 25 percent hole in its annual operating budget and forcing cutbacks in operations.

ACLU loses donor, one-fourth of yearly donations.  The American Civil Liberties Union has lost a quarter of its yearly donations after a major donor cut off $19 million in annual donations because of economic difficulties.

A Blue Christmas for the ACLU.  Have you wondered why the American Civil Liberties Union hasn't been carrying out its usual war on Christmas this season?  There is a one-word explanation:  money.

'Tis The Season For The Tyranny Of The Minority.  The ACLU and Citizens United for the Separation of Church and State seek to remove any mention of God in the public arena.  The ACLU took a California school to court after the September 11th terrorist attacks for posting a "God Bless America" sign, claiming that this is a violation of the church-and-state Constitution.  (Note:  There is no such clause.  The word church isn't even in the Constitution.)

Teaching monsters:  [Scroll down]  These people swim in the most polluted waters of sexual aberration.  Their Internet location teaches pedophiles how to make themselves interesting to little boys and induce them to engage in sex. ... The ACLU is once again shaking the Bill of Rights in the faces of all decent Americans and trying to tell us that this is what the founders of our democracy intended.

The 'C' in ACLU Is for Cowardice.  With the ACLU, the silly season never stops; it just hits its biggest fever pitch around Christmas.  They're engaged in a lawsuit in Illinois and have found a friendly judge to agree with their atheist client that a moment of silence in schools is unconstitutional.  Yes, having a moment of silence where kids can do whatever silent activity they want, from praying to thinking about their hot date tonight, is now considered something the drafters of the First Amendment would condemn.

The Blood of Patriots and Tyrants.  In 1920, proud communist Roger Baldwin formed a "civil rights" organization that would later become known as the ACLU, or the American Civil Liberties Union.  Democrats and liberal academic elites from institutions like Harvard and Columbia Universities heralded Baldwin as some champion of "civil liberties."  This remains true today in 2008.  Yet Baldwin himself was quite clear about the motives and agenda of his so-called "civil rights" agency...  "I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself...

Voters Seeing Red Over ACLU Attack.  The object at the center of the case is a small, unadorned cross sitting in a remote part of the Mojave Desert Preserve in Southeast California.  A veterans' group erected this memorial cross on private land in 1934 to honor the dead of all wars.  Driving by this secluded location today, however, you'll see a curious-looking plywood box hiding the memorial, the way someone might cover a condemned building.

ACLU Pushes High Court to Destroy Cross Memorial.  The Supreme Court joined in a fight between the ACLU and the federal government over a World War I memorial in the shape of a cross.  While neither legal team hit the ball over the fence, the majority seems inclined to save this cross in what will be the first religious liberty case of the new Court.

The ACLU's Real Agenda in the Mojave Desert.  The cross is in a remote region seen by few.  But one of those is [Frank] Buono, a former Park Service employee and ACLU member who told the ACLU that although he moved to Oregon, he comes down and sees the cross "two to four times a year."  That was enough for the ACLU to file a lawsuit in 2001 demanding that the National Park Service tear down the cross.

ACLU Sues Sheriff Arpaio for Detaining Illegals.  The American Civil Liberties Union is accusing Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies of violating the constitution by arresting two men near a workplace immigration raid.  A federal lawsuit filed Wednesday [8/19/2009] alleges that Julian and Julio Mora's truck was stopped as a result of racial profiling on Feb. 11.  Deputies were raiding 66-year-old Julian Mora's employer when they arrested the two men and took them to the company's offices.

Religious Liberty Stops at the Schoolhouse Door.  In public school classrooms across the country, religious liberty is under assault.  Last month in Florida, two Christian student leaders at Pace High School were barred from speaking at their graduation ceremony due to fears they might mention their faith in violation of a court order stemming from an anti-religious lawsuit filed by the ACLU.

The ACLU Talks Too Much.  The American Civil Liberties Union filed a suit in 2001 demanding that a seven-foot cross erected in the California desert in 1934 commemorating sacrifices endured by our soldiers in World War I be taken down.  At some point after 1934 the land on which the cross was erected became federally protected, and thus the cross became a fit issue for the ACLU's squalling about the separation of church and state.

ACLU Sticks Up for Group That Funds Terrorism.  Recently the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) produced a video complaining about how Muslim charitable groups have been negatively affected by the Bush administration's crackdown on terrorist charities.  The ACLU chose leaders and patrons of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) to make its point.  It was a poor choice, as ICNA itself has been tied to terrorist financing.

Rep. Peter King: ACLU Is "Tearing Down The United States".  Representative Peter King (R-N.Y.) said that by opposing military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay and by advocating for the release of photographs of torture committed upon detainees, the American Civil Liberties Union is "tearing down the United States," during a heated debate with the ACLU's executive director, on Face the Nation Sunday. [5/17/2009] ... King admitted that "in every war there are going to be abuses," but added that he is not sure "what purpose the ACLU serves in constantly tearing down the United States, constantly attacking our government."

ACLU demands schools allow access to gay Websites.  Students and parents are demanding Metro Nashville's public schools stop blocking access to Web sites about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.  They complained to the American Civil Liberties Union, which on Wednesday [4/15/2009] gave Metro and Knox County schools an April 29 deadline to announce plans to open access to the non-sexual sites.  A letter to the districts threatened lawsuits if they don't comply.

Many Homeland Security Programs Can Be Ended Under Obama, ACLU Says.  Many of the programs created under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after 9/11 can be dispensed with, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.  And the incoming Obama administration will make major renovations in the DHS that will strengthen privacy rights for individuals, civil rights activists said at a conference on Wednesday.

ACLU Urges California District to Let Kids Leave School for Medical Treatment Without Parental Consent.  The ACLU is threatening to sue a California school district after it changed a policy to require teenagers get parental consent to leave campus for confidential medical services.  The Vista Unified School District board voted unanimously Thursday [3/12/2009] to change its existing policy that allowed students to be excused for confidential appointments — including abortions — without notifying parents, according to the North County Times.  The ACLU of San Diego County and the National Center for Youth Law claim the new policy violates state law, KPBS reported.

ACLU Signs Add to Washington State's Immigration Storm.  An immigration showdown is brewing on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, where simmering tensions and borderline hostility have fueled a turf war between the local community and the Border Patrol agents assigned to protect it.  Now the American Civil Liberties Union has jumped into the ring and upped the ante, rolling out a campaign that will install signs inside buses informing riders of their rights — to ignore Border Patrol agents.

Ex-ACLU lawyer settles into government role.  Tim Edgar, lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, never imagined he'd be Tim Edgar, lawyer for the director of national intelligence. Many in the intelligence establishment certainly never thought that Edgar, one of their community's fiercest critics, would be a co-worker.

ACLU sues over tax files for Spanish-speaking clients.  The American Civil Liberties Union has filed suit against the Weld County sheriff and district attorney over the manner in which they seized thousands of tax files from a preparer who serves Spanish-speaking clients.

Illinois Moment of Silence Ruled Unconstitutional.  A federal judge has ruled that a state law requiring a moment of silence in public schools across Illinois is unconstitutional, saying it crosses the line separating church and state.  "The statute is a subtle effort to force students at impressionable ages to contemplate religion," U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman said in his ruling Wednesday. ... Adam Schwartz, senior staff counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the organization was pleased with the decision "to strike down a statewide law that coerced children to pray as part of an organized activity in our public schools."

 Since when is silence considered a religion?

ACLU Sues Over Arkansas Ban on Adoption, Foster Care by Unmarried Couples.  More than a dozen families filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging a new Arkansas law banning unmarried couples living together from becoming foster or adoptive parents.  The Arkansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of the families in Pulaski County Circuit Court seeking to overturn Act 1, which was approved by voters in last month's general election.

The Editor says...
 Once again, liberals lose at the polls and head straight to the courthouse.

ACLU, booksellers challenge Oregon sexual material law.  The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon has joined booksellers to challenge a state law restricting the sale or provision of sexually explicit material to children, saying it could affect constitutionally protected material.

A.C.L.U. Sues Alabama on Ballot Access.  The American Civil Liberties Union sued Alabama elections officials Monday [7/21/2008] over what it says is an overly expansive policy disenfranchising felons, amid concern from voting rights groups nationwide that voting lists are being culled with too great alacrity by many states.

ACLU shot down in court; Baptist home continues to receive funding.  The American Civil Liberties Union has lost another round in its ten-year legal battle to stop Kentucky taxpayers from funding care provided by a non-profit Baptist group to at-risk children.  The ACLU filed a lawsuit in 1998 to stop the Commonwealth of Kentucky from paying for part of the services provided by Kentucky Baptist Home for Children.

The ACLU:  Enemy of America and Christianity.  For the past forty years the ACLU has used every legal machination to make the display of Christmas trees illegal if placed in a public institution or on property where there is even the remotest connection to a tax dollar.  They've bludgeoned America with their claim that such displays violate the separation of church and state.  The display of the Ten Commandments?  Illegal, they say.  Prayer in school?  Prohibited, they charge.  The mere mention of God at a graduation ceremony — grounds for a law suit.

Put ACLU On Watch.  Forced to defend its growing terrorist watch list, the FBI let slip a chilling fact that should silence ACLU grumblers:  America is teeming with 20,000 terrorists.  After 9/11, federal authorities estimated that as many as 5,000 terrorists were living in the U.S.  The new figure is jarring not only because it's four times as large but because it's based on real persons, not estimates.  It's not something headquarters wanted to publicize.  Officials had downplayed the threat so as not to spook the public. … But that was before the ACLU launched a campaign with the Democrat Congress to demonize the watch list as a Gestapo-like tool.  The FBI had no choice but to knock down their myths.

Top Ten Myths About The ACLU:  If you think the ACLU represents the average American values, then you are sadly misguided.  Their absolutist views of liberty go far beyond what most people could ever support.  They support the legalization of child porn distribution, and un-regulated prostitution.  They are far from the traditional thoughts of patriotism, constantly defending America's enemies, and fighting efforts of military recruiters.

Obama's Imperilled Candidacy:  I found it very interesting to hear [Rev. Jeremiah] Wright explicitly endorse Obama over Hillary in church.  Normally when evangelical preachers cross the political line they get hammered for violating the separation of church and state.  One pastor I know invited a local Republican official to give his personal testimony in church and had to answer to the IRS for it.  How come black churches engage in blatant electioneering, even to the point of busing members to the voting booth, and nobody from the ACLU or the media raises an eyebrow?

The ACLU and Its Allies:  Standing in Need of Prayer.  The ACLU's perennial lawsuits attacking our nation's religious heritage are backfiring, and that's something for which you can give thanks this year.  An important — and, until recently, overlooked — constitutional requirement called "standing" is thwarting those attacks.  Two federal appellate courts said "enough" and have recently thrown out ACLU lawsuits brought to stop prayer before the Indiana Legislature and a school board in Louisiana because the ACLU's clients had suffered no harm -- that is, they "lacked standing" to bring a lawsuit in the first place.  So, rulings on "standing" are now protecting public prayer.

Top Ten Reasons To Stop The ACLU:  (#10)  The ACLU was founded by Communists, with communist ideals, communist goals, and they continue to impose a Communist like agenda on America daily. … (#8)  Their outright hatred of the Boy Scouts.  They are currently doing everything in their power to hurt this organization.

The ACLU:  Anti-Boy Scout and Pro-Child Molester.  Simply put, the ACLU, once famous for defending the rights of free speech, now attacks the Boy Scouts and argues in favor of giving child sexual predators easy access to our children and grandchildren.  To add insult to injury, the ACLU uses our tax dollars to help fund these lawsuits.

ACLU wants to help defend alleged Sept. 11 mastermind.  The American Civil Liberties Union, which for years has scorned Pentagon military commissions as "kangaroo courts," announced Friday [4/4/2008] it will try to provide top civilian defense attorneys for alleged terrorists facing trial at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba — with special emphasis on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The ACLU's Bogus Constitutional Case Against Christmas.  If you're a rational human being, you might think the greatest risks to America are murderous terrorists like Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, or hostile nations like North Korea or Iran.  But if you're with the ACLU or a committed leftist, your list of risks to America is very different — it includes: the Boy Scouts, the Pledge of Allegiance, and now Christmas.  To the ALCU and to the left, Christmas trees, carols and nativity scenes are dangerous instrumentalities that threaten America's foundation.

ACLU awarded $42K in Jesus icon case.  A federal judge has awarded more than $42,000 in attorneys fees to the American Civil Liberties Union for a case challenging the legality of a religious icon hanging in a Louisiana courthouse.

ACLU wants Bowden to stop team church trips.  The American Civil Liberties Union has accused Clemson head football coach Tommy Bowden of abusing his authority by imposing his religious beliefs on his players, and it has asked the university to discontinue the coach's practice of strongly recommending that players participate in an annual team visit to a local church.

ACLU asks for U.S. domestic spying review.  The American Civil Liberties Union asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday [10/3/2007] to review a legal challenge to the warrantless domestic spying program that U.S. President George W. Bush created after the Sept. 11 attacks.  The civil liberties group challenged a U.S. appeals court ruling that said the organizations and individuals that sued the government had no legal right to do so because they could not prove they had been affected by the spying program.

Only in Nevada...
 Nevada ACLU supports an individual's right to bear arms.  "The Nevada ACLU respects the individual's right to bear arms subject to constitutionally permissible regulations," a statement on the organization's Web site said.  "The ACLU of Nevada will defend this right as it defends other constitutional rights."  "This was the consensus," said Allen Lichtenstein, general counsel for ACLU of Nevada.  "There really wasn't a lot of dissent."  But the state affiliate's position puts it at odds with the national organization.

Gunfight at the ACLU corral:  The Nevada ACLU decided to change its gun stance — it appears to be the first state chapter to do so — in light of the Supreme Court's ruling last month that struck down the handgun ban in the District and for the first time interpreted the Second Amendment as an individual right, breaking with the national group.

Wyoming Lawsuit Alleges Prison Mealtime Violates Muslim Inmates' Freedom of Religion.  The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Thursday [4/3/2008] claiming that a Wyoming State Penitentiary policy restricting prisoners' mealtimes violates the constitutional rights of two Muslim inmates. … At issue is an alleged "20-minute rule" requiring inmates to eat their meals within 20 minutes after the food is delivered to a cell or common dining area, the lawsuit said.  The lawsuit seeks for the inmates to be exempted from the rule because it forces them to choose between eating and practicing their religion.

ACLU Fires Back.  Although Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) grabbed the spotlight with his attack on TV violence, little noticed at the time was a proposal by Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) to craft a bill strengthening the FCC's profanity-regulation powers and giving it authority to regulate violence.  The American Civil Liberties Union wrote to legislators asking them to oppose such a move.

The Editor says...
 The ACLU claims there is no need to regulate profanity on television because of the "technologies enabling parents to control content".  They seem to assume that children are the only people adversely affected by violence on TV, and that everybody makes use of the V-Chip and the OFF button.

The ACLU and the Unitarian Universalist Church:  Roger Baldwin (founder of the ACLU), when reflecting on his life, said that in his early years he not only regularly attended the Unitarian Church in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts; he also helped to teach in the Sunday School and even listened to the preacher.  He added, "I would say that social work began in my mind in the Unitarian Church when I was ten or twelve years old, and I started to do things that I thought would help other people."

The ACLU Never Forgets Its Pro-Communist Roots.  More than a quarter-century after his death, the "legacy" of American Civil Liberties Union founder Roger Baldwin — a self-professed fan of Soviet communism and of Joseph Stalin — is still going strong.  With the collapse of the Soviet empire, current ACLU leaders have thrown more of their support to one of the last remaining bastions of the Soviet ideal:  Cuba.

ACLU is fulfilling the communist agenda.  For the past few decades, the ACLU has been on a major crusade to destroy Christianity in America, promote filth under "freedom of speech and expression," and of course, vigorously defend the homosexual culture of death.  On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr., D-Fla., read a list of 45 communist goals into the Congressional Record.  [Listed in this article] are the communist goals being implemented by the ACLU in their quest to destroy America's culture and traditions.

Communist Goals 1963 and now:  For example…
#23 Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
#24 Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
#25 Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
#26 Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

ACLU's 'Search and Destroy' Agenda:  The Bible gives an illustration of Satan lying in wait to ambush Christians.  Paul says, "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour."  In that same vein, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is the 'Devourer of Religion.'  The vast majority of Americans view the ACLU's hit-squad as God-haters that desire to destroy all vestiges of religion in the public square, and all Judeo-Christian values and beliefs.  Why?  Because religion gets in the way of their secular-progressive agenda.

Is the ACLU Non-Partisan?  The ACLU proudly claim that they are "wholly non-partisan."  It portrays itself as an objective organization that is "neither liberal nor conservative, Republican nor Democrat."  They say instead that they are "a public interest organization devoted exclusively to protecting the basic civil liberties of all Americans."  History, and the facts seem to say otherwise.

Let ACLU protest on its own dime.  Millions of taxpayer dollars enrich the ACLU's $150 million budget annually.  [That money] is then used to attack the remaining vestiges of Christianity and morality in America.  The ACLU has exploited a law passed by Congress in the 1970s [which] allows citizens to sue state and local governments for alleged constitutional violations of individual rights and to be awarded attorney fees if any small, legal victory is gained.

ACLU will try to grab the attention of the younger set.  Beyond recruiting new members, the idea is to encourage younger people to participate in government and defend civil rights, said Rachel Chaparro, development and education coordinator for the ACLU of Colorado.  Most of the ACLU's half-million members nationwide are in their 50s and older, Chaparro said.  Early last year, the national organization asked state chapters to come up with ways to attract young professionals.  The result in Colorado was monthly get-togethers in Denver with activists and politicians such as U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., and state Rep. Andrew Romanoff, D-Denver.

Enemies of America, in a Courtroom Near You.  The ACLU recently filed a petition for Hazleton [Pennsylvania] to pay it $2.4 million in fees because ACLU lawyers persuaded a U.S. District judge to strike down a series of local ordinances.  Those laws intended to make it difficult for illegal aliens to live and work in that town.  A precipitating event for passage of the ordinances was the murder of a local resident by an illegal alien.

Supreme Court rejects ACLU domestic spying lawsuit.  The Supreme Court dealt a setback Tuesday [2/19/2008] to civil rights and privacy advocates who oppose the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program.  The justices, without comment, turned down an appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union to let it pursue a lawsuit against the program that began shortly after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

ACLU sues over noncitizen license ban.  The American Civil Liberties Union jumped into the middle of Michigan's driver's license controversy, filing a lawsuit Wednesday [2/13/2008] on behalf of noncitizens who live and work here but are denied licenses or ID cards as a result of a recent attorney general opinion.

ACLU Furthering 'Sanctuary City' Protection for Illegals.  In an effort to do the job the federal government won't do, some local governments have promulgated laws and regulations that would address this crisis, as did the Mayor of Hazelton [Pennsylvania] and his town's city council.  These ordinances penalize employers of illegal aliens and landlords who rent rooms to aliens who are illegally present in the United States.  Small American towns like Hazelton are attempting to push back the growth of the "Sanctuary City" concept.

Former ACLU Chapter President Arrested for Child Pornography.  Federal agents arrested Charles Rust-Tierney, the former president of the Virginia chapter of the ACLU, Friday in Arlington for allegedly possessing child pornography.

Update:
 Ex-ACLU Official Expected To Plead Guilty To Kiddie Porn Charges.  Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, of Arlington, Va., former president of the Virginia chapter of the ACLU from 2002 to 2005 during the height of the Terri Schiavo case, is expected to plead guilty to charges that he allegedly possessing hard core, commercial kiddie porn, reportedly using his e-mail address and credit card to subscribe to and access a child pornography website, according to federal prosecutors.

Ex-Virginia ACLU President Pleads Guilty in Child Porn Case.  A former president of the Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union pleaded guilty Friday [6/1/2007] to federal child pornography charges.  51-year-old Charles Rust-Tierney entered his plea to one count of receipt of child pornography in US District Court in Alexandria.

Even the ACLU Shouldn't Defend This.  Why is it that the ACLU will defend the rights of sex offenders but attack a prayer given at a city council meeting?  Why is it that the ACLU will seek to overturn a law designed to protect children, and file a lawsuit if a young person utters a prayer at a graduation ceremony?  The ACLU has turned liberty upside down….

Craig to claim sex sting arrest unconstitutional.  Idaho Sen. Larry Craig will argue before an appeals court that Minnesota's disorderly conduct law is unconstitutional as it applies to his conviction in a bathroom sex sting, according to a new court filing.  This is the first time Craig's attorneys have raised that issue.  However, an earlier friend-of-the-court filing by the American Civil Liberties Union argued that Craig's foot-tapping and hand gesture under a stall divider at the Minneapolis airport are protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech.

The Editor says...
 Is the ACLU asserting that lewd gestures in a public restroom are protected by the Constitution?  Would any court have agreed to such an argument prior to 1970 or perhaps 1980?

ACLU changes view of precedent when it favors Christian group.  The ACLU's support of a legal precedent used to gain recognition of a student homosexual group has reversed now that the ruling is being used to back the rights of a Christian club on campus, claims a public-interest law firm.

Jesus Mural Attacked by ACLU.  The American Civil Liberties Union is threatening to sue the city of Slidell, Louisiana, because of a painting of Jesus.  The painting sits in the lobby of the city court.  Underneath it are the words "to know peace, obey these laws."  The ACLU says people have complained about the painting, and they want it taken down.

Jesus Portrait in Lousiana Court Will Stay Up Despite Outcry From ACLU.  A portrait of Jesus on the wall at Slidell City Court will remain up for now, despite objections from the American Civil Liberties Union, which calls it a violation of church-state separation.

ACLU accused of wanting to chill speech at Florida graduations.  A Christian legal group says the American Civil Liberties Union is overreacting in its attempt to pressure a Florida high school into censoring the religious speech of students.  The ACLU is calling on the Duval County School Board to adopt a new student speech policy in light of a recent valedictory address at Wolfson High School in Jacksonville.

ACLU Against Wisconsin, Round II.  A common tactic of the ACLU when it loses a point in the political process, is to use the judicial process to trump democracy, when the people fail to see the wisdom of the ACLU position.

Boys and girls, can you say, "racial quota?"
 ACLU targets Tustin Unified's gifted program.  Too few Latino and African American students are enrolled in gifted programs in the Tustin Unified School District, the ACLU charged in a letter sent to the district Thursday [2/15/2007].  The organization said it planned to sue the district if the disparity was not corrected.

Why Does the ACLU Think Sexual Predators Have More Rights than Children?  In a recent series of cases in New Jersey, the ACLU has opposed legitimate efforts to protect children from sexual predators who attempt to live in their neighborhoods. … They believe that freedom dictates that convicted sex offenders have the right to live any place of their choosing, regardless of the safety of children.

ACLU Says the US Can't Bar Terrorism Supporters.  A civil rights group asked a judge Friday to find it unconstitutional for the federal government to exclude a prominent Muslim scholar or anyone else from the United States on the grounds that they may have endorsed or espoused terrorism.  The American Civil Liberties Union filed the papers attacking the policy in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

North Carolina Judge OKs Witness Oaths Using Quran.  Witnesses and jurors being sworn in at state courthouses can take their oath using any religious text, not just the Bible, a judge ruled Thursday.  Judge Paul Ridgeway said both common law and state Supreme Court precedent allow witnesses and jurors to use the text "most sacred and obligatory upon their conscience."  The ruling came after the American Civil Liberties Union argued that limiting that text to the Bible was unconstitutional because it favored Christianity over other religions.

North Carolina courtroom oaths expanded beyond Bible.  A ruling from a North Carolina judge that allows other religious texts besides the Bible for swearing in of courtroom witnesses is being called a further example of the secularization of the procedure.  The American Civil Liberties Union assisted in the case of a Muslim woman who sued for not being allowed to take her oath on the Koran, according to Associated Press.

ACLU threat nixes 23rd Psalm display.  Fearing an expensive legal challenge from the ACLU, a county commissioner begrudgingly ordered removal of a display of the 23rd Psalm from a courthouse.

Graduation at N.J. Church Sparks Lawsuit.  The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is suing the Newark public school district, saying a school's decision to hold its graduation ceremonies in a Baptist church violated a Muslim student's religious freedom.  The New Jersey ACLU said Wednesday that it was suing the school district because its decision to hold graduation in the church prevented West Side High School senior Bilal Shareef, a Muslim, from attending.  Shareef's religious beliefs forbid him from entering a building with religious images, the civil liberties group said.

[If that's true — and it probably isn't — Shareef had better leave the United States, because religious images can be found all over the country.]

Morality is the real 'inconvenient truth'.  Our courts are inclined to agree that people have the right to watch or read anything they want, no matter how offensive it is to traditional values, decency or community standards.  Every year, the American Civil Liberties Union pushes one case after another to the Supreme Court to chip away at the right of society to regulate itself.  And more often than not, the Supreme Court goes along for the ride. … When I was a kid, that wasn't considered constitutionally protected speech; it was considered obscenity.

Homeless Know Myth Of Warming.  Is there or is there not something insane about a business suing the homeless parked outside its door for a million dollars?  The ACLU claims most vagrancy and loitering laws are unconstitutional, arguing, along with litigators anxious to sue any entity with big bucks, that we are free to park our carcasses anywhere.

ACLU sues state over 'God' plates.  The "In God We Trust" license plates that have quickly become a fixture on Indiana roads came under a legal attack today claiming the law authorizing them is unconstitutional for favoring that message over those on other plates.

Oconee County officials cave into pressure from the ACLU.  Under pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union, Oconee County officials voted today [2/6/2007] to no longer open meetings with public prayer, opting instead for a "moment of silence."  "Despite what the ACLU would like people to believe, the First Amendment protects more than silence," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Mike Johnson.

The ACLU vs. Cobb County Schools:  A story of obsession and betrayal.  Do you know someone who obsesses about something in particular?  It can be a television show that they just can't miss or a never varied topic of discussion like sports.  Most people find such behavior, if not the person themselves, annoying. … But making mountains out of molehills, or indeed making mountains out of nothing at all, is something that the ACLU excels in.  I am referring to the recent decision by the Cobb County School Board to abandon a science textbook "warning label" that notes that evolution is a theory.

ACLU Observers Will Monitor Miami Beach Police During Holiday.  Observers from the American Civil Liberties Union will be on patrol this holiday weekend in South Beach, watching the 600 police officers deployed for crowd control.  The president of the Greater Miami ACLU chapter said the organization was concerned about the number of arrests made on the beach last Memorial Day weekend.

Police Sued For Capturing Illegal Immigrants.  A state police agency is being federally sued for racial profiling because a trooper apprehended more than a dozen illegal immigrants during a routine traffic stop four months ago.

War and the ACLU:  The ACLU is crowing about the feds backing down on subpoenaing a classified document the group possesses.  With these extremist lawyers at constant war against America, the government must not retreat.  Clinton-appointed Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the Southern District of New York made it clear in a hearing last week that he would side with the ACLU regarding its possession of a classified directive on how prisoners of war can be photographed.

ACLU targets removal of prayer.  In its never-ending quest to remove all things religious from public life, the ACLU's latest lawsuit against the Wilson County School District outside of Nashville, TN, represents a frontal attack on prayer in public schools.  Wilson County is having to defend its right to allow the free exercise of religion in a public elementary school.

ACLU Attorney:  Jesus Is Just (Not) Alright with Me.  The ACLU started rattling their legal sabers at the Winston-Salem City Council recently, complaining that the decades long tradition of having council meetings opened with a prayer by a local pastor is unconstitutional because the pastors leading the invocation used the name of Jesus.

Five years after 9/11, the ACLU considers Christians the terrorists.  Joe Cook has long since apologized for what he said last summer.  Although he is director of the Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, and strenuously opposed to anything resembling prayer in public schools or God in public life, he says he wasn't speaking for the ACLU — or, curiously, even for himself — when he said what he said.

Judge Uses Cut-and-Paste From ACLU Brief.  An intelligent design think tank has discovered that a U.S. District Judge cut and pasted large portions of his anti-intelligence design decision from an ACLU brief. … The Discovery Institute found that 90.9% of his ruling was taken virtually verbatim from an ACLU brief given to him a month before he issued his ruling.

ACLU Sues Texas Town for Not Renting to Illegals.  Two civil rights groups filed a lawsuit Tuesday [12/26/2006] challenging a suburb's new law that outlaws renting to illegal immigrants, alleging the ordinance violates federal law and forces landlords to act as immigration officers.  The American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund filed the suit on behalf of Farmers Branch residents and landlords.

[More about the situation in Farmer's Branch can be found here.]

Judge Finds NSA Program Unconstitutional.  Back in January of 2006, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the NSA wire tapping program.  The ACLU's lawsuit was on behalf of journalists, lawyers, and others who said that the NSA program made it hard to do their jobs.  I can't see as how that would be correct; unless they were in contact with terrorists.

ACLU exec sued over student loans, blames bank error.  Federal officials in Ohio have sued a member of the American Civil Liberties Union's national board of directors, contending he never repaid government-backed student loans that date back to the 1980s.

Removal of Cross From Los Angeles County Seal Prompts Lawsuit.  The decision by Los Angeles County officials to remove the small cross from the county's official seal has triggered a lawsuit.  It was filed Tuesday [10/17/2006] by the Thomas More Law Center in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  The decision to remove the cross from the seal was made in June of 2004 after the American Civil Liberties Union threatened to sue the L.A. County supervisors because of their use of a Christian symbol.

Legal Groups Battle Over Cross for Katrina Monument.  A Louisiana parish planning to erect a cross on the bank of the Mississippi River in memory of the 130 people who died from Hurricane Katrina insists it is not violating the Constitution despite a challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union.  St. Bernard Parish Councilman Mark Madary believes the ACLU is trying to create a controversy to generate publicity, rather than attempting to protect Americans' First Amendment rights.

Did someone mention Hurricane Katrina?

ACLU Targets Pennsylvania Town Over Immigration Ordinance.  Mayor Louis J. Barletta of Hazleton, Pa., is standing by one of the strictest anti-illegal immigration laws in the country in spite of a lawsuit claiming the ordinance is unconstitutional.  The Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund and the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit Wednesday [8/16/2006], challenging that the Hazleton ordinance.  The law would fine landlords who rent to illegal aliens, deny business permits to entities that employ them, and make English the town's official language.

Group hopes to "put the fear of God" in the ACLU.  The man behind an online effort to rein in the American Civil Liberties Union is taking his campaign to America's churches, hoping to mobilize millions of believers into taking a stand against the legal organization.

ACLU Accused of Profiting at Taxpayer Expense.  The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is guilty of "judicial blackmail," according to the American Legion, which is pushing for congressional legislation to end one of the ACLU's streams of revenue.  Judges would be stripped of the authority to award attorney fees to the ACLU and similar groups in cases involving the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment Establishment Clause, if the American Legion gets its way.

The ACLU contributes to U.S. moral decay.  What does unrestricted illegal immigration, removal of all Christian symbols from public buildings, removal of "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and the prevention of public prayer, and forcing the Boy Scouts to hire atheist and homosexual Scoutmasters have in common?  All of these issues have been pursued in court by the American Civil Liberties Union; since they cannot win on these issues at the ballot box or in the court of public opinion.

Expose and Defeat the ACLU.  On every front (from the Boy Scouts, to the Pledge of Allegiance to the Ten Commandments), Grassfire has faced the same opponent — the ACLU and its radical, anti-God, anti-religion, anti-American agenda. … The time has come to turn back the ACLU's attacks.

ACLU Sues Over Sex-Offender Ban.  Six sex offenders sued the city [of Indianapolis] Wednesday [5/31/2006] to block a new ordinance that bars them from venturing within 1,000 feet of parks, pools and playgrounds when children are present.

Screening for terrorists as nicely as possible.  One of the frustrating reasons the U.S. government feels compelled to spend all of this time and energy coming up with computerized lie detectors is that civil libertarians can't trust airport security personnel to do the same thing.  Why?  Because it's possible for humans to be racist.  The TSA's more established security system, Screening Passengers by Observation Technique, or SPOT, relies on human intelligence instead of the artificial kind. … This apparently is unacceptable for civil libertarians.

ACLU praises library gay pride display.  The Connecticut branch of the American Civil Liberties Union on Monday [6/26/2006] praised [Shelton, CT] library officials' decision to keep a gay pride exhibit on display at the Huntington branch library, despite several complaints.

Judge:  School's Gay Rights Club Can Meet.  U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore ruled Friday [4/6/2007] that Okeechobee High School must grant the same privileges to the Gay Straight Alliance that it grants other clubs, as mandated by the federal Equal Access Act.  The American Civil Liberties Union sued the Okeechobee school board in November on behalf of the high school's Gay-Straight Alliance after school officials said the group was a "sex-based" organization that would violate its abstinence-only education policy.

The ACLU's shocking legacy:  The ACLU is a leading advocate of same-sex "marriage," and has expressed support for polygamy and polyamory ("open" marriage) as well. … Instead of being an organization that simply took a "wrong turn," the ACLU has devoted itself from the very beginning to the devastation of America's most cherished traditions, values, and laws.

Abortion pits ACLU vs. Arpaio.  The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday [8/7/2008] asked that Sheriff Joe Arpaio be held in contempt of court for violating a 2005 ruling regarding county jail inmates' rights to be transported to clinics to have abortions.

The ACLU is Evil.  The ACLU's position on abortion, which, to be blunt, is the brutal taking (slaughter) of the life of an unborn child in a mother's womb.  The ACLU has defended abortion on demand without exception at all costs.  They have defended partial birth abortion in the courts with their Planned Parenthood allies.  How anyone can defend the barbaric procedure of PBA and not call it evil?  The brutal torture of an unborn child this way is something that no one with common sense can defend.

The Editor says...
 The article above was written in response to an article entitled, "The ACLU Is Not Evil", which in my opinion, could not be more incorrect.

ACLU Opposes Tax Exemptions For All Churches.  After learning this myself, the question came to me … how could anyone say this organization is not anti-Christian?

'Choose Life' tags expected by fall after failed challenge.  "Choose Life" license plates for Tennessee drivers could hit the road by autumn. … The nation's highest court said Monday [6/26/2006] that it would not consider appeals from abortion rights groups wanting to stop states from issuing car license plates bearing a "Choose Life" message. … "Were obviously disappointed with the decision," said Hedy Weinberg, executive director of the Tennessee ACLU.

A perversion of Justice:  As vile as pederasts, pedophiles, bottom-feeding scum-suckers, are, there are others who are even worse, if only because they are far more numerous.  For openers, there are the lawyers who use all their guile to con juries into letting these freaks run loose.  I have no idea how these shysters sleep at night, knowing full well that their children and grandchildren could be the creep's next prey.  Next we have the judges, the parole boards, the ACLU and the legislatures, who are all in cahoots to pretend that these perverts are just like other criminals.  It's just not so.

Federal Judge Blocks Prayer At High School Graduation Ceremony.  The senior class at a southern Kentucky high school gave their response Friday night [5/19/2006] to a federal judge's order banning prayer at commencement.  About 200 seniors stood during the principal's opening remarks and began reciting the Lord's Prayer, prompting a standing ovation from a standing-room only crowd at the Russell County High School gymnasium.

One student complains, and everybody is affected.  What happened to majority rule?
 Prayer is out at Shelby graduation.  Shelby County High School will not schedule any formal prayers at its June 2 high school graduation because a student complained that such prayers violate the constitutional ban on state-sponsored religion.  Shelby High School principal Gary Kidwell said … the school had received a letter from the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky on behalf of a student demanding the school not have the prayer.

What's this?  Squabbling within the ACLU?
 ACLU May Censure Its Board Members After They Opposed Abortion Bill.  The ACLU joined leading pro-abortion organizations last month in backing a measure that would threaten to shut down pregnancy centers that abortion advocates say deceive women because they don't do abortions.

Would ACLU Squelch Free Speech of Its Own Officials?  It appears the ACLU is seeking to muzzle some of its own board members.  The American Civil Liberties Union is often portrayed as a great defender of free speech — with the exception, some would say, of Christian speech in the public square.  But now comes word in a New York Times report that the ACLU is weighing new standards that would discourage its board members from publicly criticizing the organization's policies and internal administration.

ACLU Opposes Safe Air Travel.  Unlike President Bush, the American Civil Liberties Union is not interested in air security.  Like Senator Kerry, they prefer sensitivity to safety.  [In November 2004], the "nonpartisan" ACLU filed a lawsuit challenging Logan International Airport's "behavior pattern recognition program" on the grounds that it "condones" racial- and ethnic- profiling.  The suit alleges that Logan's safety procedures are unconstitutional, and the litigants are asking for monetary damages.

How the ACLU lost its bearings:  In the last two years, under the leadership of Executive Director Anthony Romero and President Nadine Strossen, the ACLU has repeatedly been caught practicing the opposite of what it preaches.

For ACLU's Anthony Romero, These Should Be the Best of Times.  For the American Civil Liberties Union and its executive director, Anthony Romero, these should be the best of times.  Fear of government excess in the war on terror has driven membership rolls to more than 550,000 from less than 300,000.

ACLU Warned on Plan to Limit Members' Speech.  A lawyer in the New York state attorney general's office informally warned the American Civil Liberties Union that his office had concerns about proposed standards that would limit the group's board members from speaking publicly about policies and internal operations, according to three board members.

Inmates Sue to Overturn Nude Magazine Ban.  Two inmates have filed a lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Correction to overturn a policy that bars magazines such as Playboy and Hustler. … "The policy is written so broadly that it includes within its prohibitions such things as personal letters between prisoners and loved ones and much of the world's great literature and art," said the complaint, which was prepared by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana.

The Editor says...
 Yeah, right.  AS IF great literature and art appreciation are major concerns in the Indiana state prisons.  Very obviously, the people in the Indiana state prison are miserable.  They should be.  They're being punished.  And some of these miserable individuals will use any available method to make the prison administrators just as unhappy.  Sadly, the ACLU and its Indiana aubsidiary have made themselves willing accomplices in this counterproductive effort.

Keep in mind that this is the same ACLU who sued the Indiana House of Representatives to keep the name of Jesus out of the legislative sessions.*

From the Desk of Brian C. Bosma:  [In June 2006], the Indiana Civil Liberties Union filed suit requesting a federal judge to enjoin me, as Speaker of the House, from allowing prayers referencing the name of Jesus Christ in the Indiana House Chambers.  Specifically, the ICLU's Ken Falk argues that prayer in the Statehouse has become too Christian.

Statement from the Indiana House of Representatives:  [On November 30, 2005] Judge David S. Hamilton of U.S. Federal Court (Southern District of Indiana) ruled that the name of Jesus Christ cannot be spoken during prayers opening sessions of the Indiana House of Representatives.  The lawsuit was brought by the Indiana Civil Liberties Union (ICLU) naming Speaker of the House Brian C. Bosma as the defendant.

ACLU Threatens Another Lawsuit Over a Cross.  Today we applaud the local government of a Louisiana Parish for its decision to stand-up against the ACLU.  The Parish, which is under attack by the ACLU for plans to permit the construction of a memorial that includes a cross to honor hurricane victims, is on firm legal ground.

Cross battle taken to Washington.  In an effort supported by Christian advocacy groups nationwide, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders met with White House lawyers in Washington, D.C., to ask President Bush to issue an executive order that would save the Mount Soledad cross after a judge ruling in a case brought by the ACLU ordered it removed.

The most obnoxious group in America:  The ACLU proclaims that they're merely abiding by the Constitution's insistence on the separation of church and state.  The only problem with that position is that the Constitution says no such thing.

ACLU Sues the Pentagon for Monitoring.  The group says the Pentagon has been monitoring antiwar groups and individuals and has compiled lists on people it sees as potential threats but who the ACLU says are exercising their free-speech rights.

Did someone mention domestic spying?

ACLU making bid for monument removal.  The American Civil Liberties Union will make a simple request Monday [5/1/2006] in federal court:  Declare Haskell County's Ten Commandments display unconstitutional and order the granite marker removed from the courthouse lawn.

No School is Safe and Free from the ACLU.  Many parents remove their children from public schools for various reasons.  Some do so because they believe their kids would excel in a private or religious school and get a better education.  Others do so out of concern for their religious values being impugned by the likes of Planned Parenthood who have been allowed to teach sex education to our children in some parts of the country.

Muslim student, ACLU fight graduation prayer.  17-year-old:  'Terms like Jesus Christ, heavenly father … were offensive to me'.

ACLU Defends the Tyranny of the Minority.  The ACLU says they're going to sue the state of Michigan if the voters pass a citizen initiated petition to put a Constitutional amendment to ban abortion on the fall ballot.

ACLU Supports the Right to Vote Even If You're Dead or Foreign.  When the House passed the Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006, requiring photo IDs for voters in future federal elections, the ACLU issued a statement [opposing it].  Similar laws have been passed in at least six states, and the ACLU has either led the attack on all such laws, or lawyers well schooled in ACLU arguments have done so.

The ACLU's Latest Inaction.  Here was a perfect case for the ACLU to prove they, as many of their chapters' web site claim, represent the civil rights of all citizens.  The ACLU is swift to come to the "aid" of students who refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance but apparently they are "slow" to come to the defense of a student who refused to stand during the playing of the Mexican National Anthem.

The ACLU fights against free speech for those who oppose abortion.
 Maloney Wins Support of ACLU For Regulation of Abortion Ads.  A New York congresswoman's proposal to have the federal government regulate advertising for abortion counseling services has won the support of the ACLU, despite warnings from other civil libertarians that the measure is unconstitutional and unwise.

The ACLU Vs. American Sovereignty:  The ACLU is appealing to the U.N. Human Rights Committee with cries of how evil the United States Government is.

ACLU upset over talk of single-sex classes at Arrowhead.  The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin is challenging recent discussions by Arrowhead High School officials over offering single-sex classes for the 2006-07 school year.

Boy Scout lawsuit back in court for appellate hearing.  A lawsuit seeking to end government funding of the nearly 70-year-old National Boy Scout Jamboree is back in court tomorrow. … The A-C-L-U argued that the support was unconstitutional because the scouts are required to take an oath that pledges "duty to God."

Coddling Criminals:  ACLU Argues Killing a Killer Violates the Rights of the Observers?  I've heard of grasping at straws, but this is ridiculous.  This case proves the anti-death penalty leftists don't have a case and they know it.

Police Shot Him, But ACLU Killed Him, Group Says.  Police in Antioch, Calif., shot and killed a man this week when he allegedly advanced on them with a carving knife and a meat fork.  Although a bullet killed 27-year-old Scott Dittman, it might not have happened if police could have used a TASER instead of a gun, a law enforcement lobbying group said on Friday [2/17/2006].

Battling the ACLU Agenda:  On the religious liberty front, the ACLU's assault on the Ten Commandments and other forms of expressions of faith in the public square has been unrelenting.  The pornography issue has also been one where the ACLU has taken an aggressive and, in my view, dangerous position.  The ACLU has even gone so far as to say the possession of child pornography deserves constitutional protection.

ACLU's 'Bible Crusade' Reaches Into Small-Town America.  A Christian attorney says the ACLU is resorting to "old tricks" by filing a federal lawsuit to stop The Gideons International from giving Bibles to fifth-graders at a public school in Missouri.

Thou shalt have no others gods before the ACLU.  There was a time when "fear of God" meant piety, or at least conscience.  Today, it more accurately describes the worldview of secular liberals who get itchy and twitchy at any reminder of our religious roots as a nation. … This gives "God fearing" a whole new meaning.

Lawyer wants Jesus off school wall.  An American Civil Liberties Union lawyer has asked a West Virginia high school to remove a picture of Jesus Christ that has hung at the school for 40 years.

How to identify American totalitarians:  In America today, two groups are most actively engaged in falsifying history:  the ACLU and the anti-smoking movement.  The ACLU is suing cities and counties to remove crosses from their city and county seals. … Examples of anti-smoking fanatics doctoring photographs [to remove cigarettes] are so legion that I can only offer a few examples in the space of a column.

The ACLU is uneven in its approach to liberty.  In theory, the American Civil Liberties Union was established to uphold a citizen's constitutional rights and come to his or her aid if liberties are infringed upon.  However, in its quest for achieving its own partisan agenda, the organization has exaggerated the Founding Father's words and misinterpreted them.

ACLU to Attack Florida Sex Offender Laws.  The ACLU has announced that it plans to challenge Florida laws requiring sexual predators to steer clear of schools, parks, day-care centers, libraries, and playgrounds.

Florida Supreme Court Helped to Fund ACLU.  Between 1990 and 1997, the Florida Bar Foundation, a creation of the Florida Supreme Court, provided more than $600,000 to help pay the salary of the ACLU of Florida's legal director.

The tort tax:  The tort tax you're paying goes well beyond the increased costs of goods and services.  A growing share of your state and federal taxes is also usurped to compensate lawyers.  For example, when the ACLU sues local, state and federal entities and prevails, those entities pay all the ACLU's fees.  In other words, the ACLU is largely a taxpayer-funded organization.

Petitioning Congress to Stop Tax Dollars to ACLU.  The Center for Reclaiming America for Christ has hand-delivered to the office of Rep. John Hostettler the names of more than 165,000 people who want Congress to defund the ACLU.

Non-Christian texts sought for courtroom oaths.  When witnesses are sworn in, the religious texts of non-Christian faiths should be allowed in North Carolina courts along with the Bible, the ACLU argued in a lawsuit filed against the state Tuesday [7/26/2005].

 Editor's Note:   So… how long will it be before your new Congressman or President takes the oath of office with one hand on the Koran, or the Torah, or a copy of 1984?  What book would an atheist or a humanist use?  Think about it.  Why waste your time listening to the testimony of someone who doesn't believe in absolute truth and absolute right and wrong?  That's what you can expect if the ACLU has its way.

New book:
 "The ACLU vs America"  tells the truth about the American Civil Liberties Union's war on religious freedom, traditional values, marriage, the sanctity of life, and the United States of America.  The Alliance Defense Fund's Alan Sears and Craig Osten lay bare the subversive plans, deceitful tactics, and shocking goals of the Left's leading legal powerhouse.  Far from the noble protector of our constitutional rights many Americans believe it to be, the ACLU has from its earliest days deliberately and patiently chipped away at the legal, moral, and religious foundations of our Republic.

Excerpt:
Through the ACLU's use of the law to shape mankind in its image, it is constantly restricting liberty, not enlarging it.  They are censoring speech rather than protecting it.  Public school officials are afraid to say, "Merry Christmas," to acknowledge our nation's faith history, or celebrate Christmas, for fear of an ACLU lawsuit.  Many people are afraid to talk openly and publicly about their sincerely held religious beliefs in their workplaces because of fear of legal action against them.  The list goes on and on.

ACLU to county:  Get a Christmas tree or else.  It probably shouldn't take the threat of legal action to get into the holiday spirit, but that was what spurred Maui County into action.  County workers raised a festive tree at the Kalana O Maui Building Wednesday with just five days to go before Christmas, after receiving a letter from the American Civil Liberties Union warning that the existing holiday display of a Hanukkah menorah was unconstitutional.  The letter threatened a federal lawsuit if the display was not corrected.

U.S. Senate Defends the Boy Scouts From the ACLU.  On July 26, the United States Senate voted 98–0 to allow the Boy Scouts of America to continue the practice of hosting the National Scout Jamboree on U.S. military bases.  The legislation, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), ignores a federal judge's order barring the Department of Defense from aiding the children's organization.

ACLU defends polygamy.  The president of the American Civil Liberties Union says polygamy is among the "fundamental rights" that her organization will continue to defend.

ACLU targets abstinence-only programs.  The American Civil Liberties Union yesterday [9/21/2005] began a campaign to urge officials in 18 states to reject abstinence-only sex-education programs.  Many abstinence programs contain false or misleading information, discriminate against homosexual youth and promote religion, ACLU leaders said, citing a December report issued by Rep. Henry A. Waxman, California Democrat.

Are homosexuals incapable of abstinence?

Court rebuffs legislature in ACLU suit.  A circuit court judge denied the Wisconsin Legislature the opportunity to intervene in an ACLU lawsuit that seeks taxpayer-funded employee health benefits for same-sex couples.

How the Left harmed America this week:  Not a week goes by that some part of the Left does not hurt America.  But in the past two weeks, three examples stood out for the degree of such harm.  The first example involved the ACLU….

ACLU Wants Bush Impeached Over NSA Wiretaps.  While White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan was asserting Monday [3/20/2006] that the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program was a vital tool in the war against terrorism, a panel assembled by the American Civil Liberties Union was arguing that President Bush should be impeached over the spying program.

More about the domestic surveillance issue.

Darwinian Democrats:  [An] unpopular Democrat, who a year earlier had told the York Daily Record [after losing in the school board election] that her post-election plans included spending more time with her family, instead decided she needed to spend more time with the ACLU. … The burning question is not whether life on Earth was created or evolved.  Rather, the great mystery is why the content of ninth-grade science classes in tiny Dover, Pa., should merit the attentions of the federal judiciary.

ACLU sues clerk over city's new voter ID rule.  The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday [10/27/2005] sued [Albuquerque City Clerk Judy] Chavez in federal court, saying the photo voter ID requirement that voters passed on Oct. 4 is unconstitutional. … [even though] more than 58,000 voters supported the measure on election day, giving it 73 percent of the vote.

As usual, the wishes of the majority — clearly expressed at the ballot box — are of little or no concern to the ACLU.

ACLU Defends Woman Guilty of Doing Cocaine While Pregnant.  The ACLU has filed an appeal on behalf of an Easton County (Md.) woman who was convicted of reckless endangerment after giving birth to a baby boy with considerable levels of cocaine in his system.  The ACLU plans to argue that an unborn child has no rights under the law and is therefore not entitled to any protections.

ACLU Sees Green Behind the Gavel.  U.S. Representative John Hostettler has introduced legislation which seeks to prevent the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) from collecting millions of dollars in court awards when they seek to remove symbols of the Christian faith from society.

ACLU Sues to Stop County Commission Prayers.  The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit against the Cobb County (Ga.) Commission, demanding that the county bar overtly Christian prayers.  The lawsuit was filed on behalf of five residents, who claimed that they "are offended and often feel repressed."

ACLU Compares Praying Christians to Terrorists.  After members of the Tangipahoa Parish (La.) School Board hosted a conference to discuss religious liberties in the public school system, an ACLU spokesman compared the board members seeking to pray at meetings to "the people who flew the airplanes into the buildings in this country."

Boy Scouts Drop Public School Ties.  The Boy Scouts of America is removing the charters of thousands of scouting units from public schools after an American Civil Liberties Union threat to sue taxpayer-funded institutions that charter BSA units.

A Report on the Anti-Christian ACLU.  The American Civil Liberties Union is on an anti-Christian campaign to remove all Christian symbols from public display.  The current effort to remove any vestige of Christianity from public life began back in the 1920s when the ACLU first gained political power in the United States.  Its founder, Roger Baldwin, was a Unitarian socialist who supported Joseph Stalin and whose close friends included leaders of the Communist Party, USA, including a Soviet spy.  While attacking Christian symbols, the ACLU has also defended pornographers, child molesters, and homosexuals who wish to adopt children.

Rein in the ACLU.  The Boy Scouts of America — a respected all-American, private organization — continues to be attacked by the ACLU.  The latest example is the Pentagon's cave-in to settle a 1999 lawsuit by not allowing military bases to sponsor Boy Scout troops.  The name — American Civil Liberties Union — is at best a misnomer.  More accurately, ACLU means Assault Christian Liberties Unmercifully.

ACLU:  Attacking American Freedoms Again.  Each spring as high school graduation approaches, the ACLU sends out a letter to public schools warning them that no one can pray or make remarks referring to their faith at graduation.  But the ACLU goes further than that.  They typically demand that public schools censure any speech that might be viewed as having a religious tone.

ACLU behind Illinois' forced hiring of "gays".  A controversial amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act, extending anti-discrimination protection on the basis of sexual orientation, was pushed vigorously in the legislature by the state chapter of the ACLU.

Concerns Arise at ACLU.  Over Document Shredding.  The American Civil Liberties Union has been shredding some documents over the repeated objections of its records manager and in conflict with its longstanding policies on the preservation and disposal of records. … The organization refused to address which documents were being shredded, among other questions.

The ACLU:  Anti-Life Legal Shock Troops.  The American Civil Liberties Union has cloaked itself in the red, white, and blue trappings of the First Amendment for decades.  The general public impression fostered by the group is that its first and foremost mission is the defense of free speech.  However … The ACLU (often called the "American Child Liquidation Union" by pro-lifers) was one of the leading forces that enshrined abortion in our culture.  It demands that everyone pay for abortions with their tax dollars and is even trying to obstruct the wishes of the people by attempting to disable the processes of the state legislatures in trying to curtail abortion in any manner whatever!

ACLU Files Suit in Pennsylvania Over Evolution.  The ACLU said its lawsuit will be the first to challenge whether public schools should teach "intelligent design," which holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by some higher power.

Department of Defense Caves To ACLU's Anti-Boy Scout Agenda.  "The ACLU continues its war against the Boy Scouts.  It has succeeded in forcing the Pentagon to issue a warning to military bases around the world to avoid sponsoring Boy Scout troops," said Traditional Values Coalition Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon.  "This is a victory of humanistic fascism over religious freedom and the right of private organizations to set their own membership standards."

The "Anti-Christian Liberties" Union.  Jay Sekulow notes that in California, students are required to read the Koran in school and the ACLU has no problem with this.  In New York City, public schools were forced to remove all Christian symbols of Christmas but not Jewish Menorahs or the Islamic Star and Crescent for Ramadan — and the ACLU didn't object.  Sekulow predicts that the ACLU will eventually sue cities like "Corpus Christi" to change their names because it means "Body of Christ."

The Editor says...
 Many other examples exist.  What do you think "Providence" means?  And then there are San Antonio, San Diego, and Santa Clara.

Where is the "Telephone Clause" in the Constitution?  The ACLU, in some circles sarcastically referred to as the American Communist Lawyers Union, works diligently to tear apart the citizens of our country from our Judeo-Christian roots.  Their goal is to erode the connection between our governing principals and a higher power.  They are relentless in their fight to undermine the protections guaranteed in our Constitution under the guise that they are fighting for our individual rights.  They are promoting a secular global agenda that could eventually erase our history.

What Do You Know?  Conservatives Can Read!  The fact is when students opt to pray before meals at a state-funded college, the ACLU brings suit.  When high school students desire to offer a simple prayer of thanks at their graduation or before a football game, the ACLU attempts to stop them.  When a community wishes to erect a plaque honoring the Ten Commandments on public ground, the ACLU screams foul.  Nevertheless, the ACLU remains a sacred cow of the mainstream media.

The Bill of Rights' Implausible Defenders.  An incredible deception is underway.  Ultra-leftist groups with long histories of supporting totalitarianism are posing as the chief defenders of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights against the current onslaught of police-state legislation.  The Establishment media, of course, are assisting these pro-Communist poseurs, led by the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Lawyers Guild, and the Center for Constitutional Rights.  Don't look to the ACLU and its left-wing allies to defend your liberty and the Constitution against the encroaching police state.

Five reasons to fear the Democratic party:  Reason #2 -- The ACLU.  In the nearly three years since the mass murder of 3,000 innocent people on American soil by fanatical Muslim terrorists, there is not a single law or policy that the ACLU has supported that would help prevent a bloody repeat of Sept. 11.

About the ACLU:  The ACLU says they are "defending the Bill of Rights."  How?  By using fear of lawsuits to budget conscious City Halls and Schools, etc. and scaring Christianity out of our American culture.

The "Anti-Christian Liberties" Union.  The ACLU claims to be dedicated to protecting the freedoms of all Americans.  But its legacy is one of defending pornographers, child molesters, abortionists, and stripping our nation of its Judeo-Christian heritage.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.  Help us expose the ACLU's radical agenda against America!

A Jew defends the cross.  For the overwhelming majority of millions of citizens of Los Angeles County over the past 50 years, this seal has aroused no opposition.  But a few months ago, someone with a magnifying glass at the American Civil Liberties Union discovered that the smallest item on the seal was a cross.  And in its aim to expunge any trace of Christianity and God from American public life, the ACLU brought this fact to the attention of the five Los Angeles County supervisors.

 Editor's Note:   If the city, county or state government fights one of these ACLU lawsuits, then they will be accused of "establishing a religion."  If they don't fight the ACLU, then all traditional observances of religion, especially Christianity, will be eradicated from our society over the next several years.

ACLU Misses the Mark.  Despite the ACLU's claim that it is objecting to the promotion of religion, the group is actually protesting historical accuracy.  Christian heritage irritates the ACLU.  The past cannot be changed but the ACLU is now making a sincere attempt to cleanse the public arena of what it considers objectionable history.  One can imagine a colonial ACLU scolding John Adams, for writing, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

School rallies to retain sign:  The ACLU says the message "God Bless America" divides kids by religion and is unconstitutional.

ACLU Sues to Censor Music.  In Columbus, Ohio, the ACLU is suing over religious music in schools, saying that the practice of having student choral groups perform Christian music is "effectively endorsing, promoting and sponsoring religion over non-religion and the Christian faith over other faiths, all in violation of the establishment clause of the First Amendment."

ACLU threatens suit to stop mealtime prayer. Challenge to Virginia Military Institute based on controversial legal theory.

ACLU represents Bush protesters.  The American Civil Liberties Union will file suit today [12/9/2004] on behalf of six men who were arrested when they stripped down to thongs and made a human pyramid in anticipation of President Bush's motorcade.

L.A. County's new cross-less seal:  The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is set to vote on a proposed new county seal next week after a threatened lawsuit caused the lawmakers to delete a tiny cross from the logo.  On June 1 the board voted 3 to 2 in closed session to acquiesce to the ACLU and remove the cross from the 47-year-old logo.

ACLU demands removal of cross from Los Angeles County seal.  The ACLU did not object to the Roman goddess or the name Los Angeles, which means "the angels."  Ben Wizner, an ACLU attorney, said that to do so would push the issue to "extreme limits."

Cross Stricken from Los Angeles Seal.  The American Civil Liberties Union has struck again, this time joining forces with left-wing county supervisors to eradicate a tiny cross from the Los Angeles County seal.  On June 1, the board of supervisors voted 3-2 to side with the ACLU's demand that the Christian symbol be expunged because it is allegedly unconstitutional and offensive to non-Christians.

ACLU finds a pot of gold at the foot of the cross.  A little-known 1976 federal law called the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Awards Act enables the ACLU to collect attorneys' fees for its suits against crosses, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Ten Commandments.  This law was designed to help plaintiffs in civil rights cases.  But the ACLU is using it for First Amendment cases, asserting that it is a civil right NOT to see a cross or the Ten Commandments.  The financial lure created by this law is the engine that drives dozens of similar cases nationwide.

The ACLU vs. Religious Liberty.  The ACLU protects the freedom of gay marriage, pedophilia, and abortion, but when it comes to religious freedom, some religious people might find themselves discriminated against.

City Leaders Step Up to the Plate for National Motto, Mountaintop Cross.  "People who hear [about] this should tell their councils that this has never been overturned once it's been voted on," [Oceanside councilman Jack] Feller says.  "So they don't have to worry about the ACLU or these groups coming after them, and they should be proud to be putting God back in this country."  The city official points out the godly heritage of which he speaks.  "It's in the Constitution — our forefathers were believers," he notes.  "So definitely, this country was founded on religious principles and beliefs."

U.S. Court of Appeals:  Cleanse the Ten Commandments from the courtroom.  "The ACLU will stop at nothing to censor religion from every public sphere in America," ADF Chief Counsel Benjamin Bull said.  "And we will not stop in our efforts to oppose them.  The Establishment Clause provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.  You will not find the so-called 'separation of church and state' anywhere in the Constitution."

The Erroneous Letter of the Law:  The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in any official government document; the concept was introduced in 1947 during the Supreme Court case of Everson vs. Board of Education.  In fact, the decision for the case was written by an ACLU lawyer who inserted the words, separation of church and state.  Without hesitation, the Court embraced and adopted the concept; thus imposing it on an unsuspecting Nation.  That's it, the ACLU fabricated it in 1947, and the Courts have been beating us over the head with it ever since.

Ten Commandments Poster Ruled Unconstitutional.  On July 14, [2004,] a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 ruling, declaring an Ohio judge's display of the Ten Commandments to be unconstitutional.  In March of 2001, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a federal lawsuit against Ohio Judge James DeWeese for posting two framed copies of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.  On June 11, 2002, a federal judge ruled that Judge DeWeese's Ten Commandments posters violated the Constitution.

ACLU Bullies District into Banning Bible Distribution.  Under a looming federal lawsuit initiated by the ACLU, a suburban school district in Missouri has agreed to a settlement barring the Gideons International organization from distributing Bibles to any students who express an interest in receiving them.

Congressman Challenges Courts' Moves to Eliminate God, Bible from Public Forum:  During the last several months, attacks on Christianity in the public arena have gained considerable notoriety around the country.  They include a legal effort to eliminate "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, and challenges by the American Civil Liberties Union to remove Ten Commandments monuments from public property in Alabama and Pennsylvania.

School District, ACLU Refuse Christian Free-Speech.  Bowing to pressure from the Connecticut Civil Liberties Union (Connecticut chapter of the ACLU), the Windsor Locks School District reversed its decision to allow clergy to give a biblical response to claims made by a pro-homosexual group (the Stonewall Speakers) in a school-wide student assembly.

Virginia's "Minute of Silence" Law Stands .  The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with a Virginia law requiring a moment of silence in the commonwealth's government schools.  The justices rejected a challenge to that law, dashing the hopes of American Civil Liberties Union, which argued against it.  According to ACLU, the law was "enacted specifically to facilitate and encourage school prayer."

Keeping Christmas:  The ACLU and other groups are performing their annual ritual of keeping the public square (including the public school) clean of any mention of Jesus Christ, unless that mention is intended as a curse word.  In such a case, the ACLU will leap to the defense.

ACLU's war against the poor:  Storm troopers of the ACLU have chalked up their latest victory in their ongoing campaign to stamp out any hint of religion in American public life.

It's a Cross the ACLU Cannot Bear.  Steve Crampton, chief counsel for the American Family Association Center for Law & Policy, laments the Board's decision to simply lie down when faced by a threat from the ACLU.  "In the end, the majority of [the county supervisors] simply didn't want to fight — and if you don't fight, you certainly can't win," Crampton says.  "So the ACLU's threat results in a victory without having to fire a shot."  Crampton thinks the ACLU would be better served pursuing civil liberties rather than running around the country looking for crosses.

ADF commits to defend LA County against attack by ACLU.  Attorneys for the Alliance Defense Fund have notified Los Angeles County Supervisors that the county's seal is defensible under current legal precedent.  According to a letter sent to Los Angeles County Supervisors this week, the cross present in the seal passes the Supreme Court's three-prong Lemon test for the acceptability of such symbols.

The savaging of America's foundation:  What is next for these people?  Will they go to government cemeteries for our military, such as Arlington National Cemetery, and demand that all crosses be removed from the graves of our fallen heroes?  What is it going to take for the vast majority of God-fearing Americans to wake up and say, "Enough is enough"?

The ACLU vs. the Boy Scouts:  The ACLU needs a new summer camp for its young folks, preferably in San Diego's Balboa Park.  The PC Scouts, as we'll call them, will head off to Balboa to obtain Rights Badges (as opposed to merit badges) and learn the meaning of the PC Scout Oath:  "On my self-esteem, I will do whatever feels good for myself; And to question authority, To help myself at all times, To keep myself physically gratified, Mentally interested, And morally tolerant."

Dishonoring Scouts and the Taxpayers:  In a time of tight budgets for governments up and down California, San Diego recently announced a massive contribution of taxpayer dollars to the American Civil Liberties Union.  The payoff is part of the city's cave-in to the ACLU's lawsuit that aims to kick the Boy Scouts off public parkland in San Diego.

ACLU demands ouster of Boy Scouts:  It wants use of campground and public building in California terminated.

ACLU Sued for Invasion of Privacy:  Someone's suing the American Civil Liberties Union, possibly the nation's most-litigious liberal group, for invasion of privacy.  The number of times the ACLU has dragged others into court for every conceivable abrogation of political correctness would be hard to assess.  This time it's the ACLU that's on the other end of the litigation stick.

ACLU Marks Day of Appreciation for Abortionists:  The American Civil Liberties Union is celebrating Sunday, March 10th, [2002] a "National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers."

When blue states attack:  ACLU busybodies sued Johnson County, Iowa, demanding that it remove a Ten Commandments monument that had been in a public courtyard a since 1964.  Within a year, the 2,500-pound granite monument was gone.

ACLU targets U.S. Navy:  While many graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy have spent 2003 defending our nation in Iraq, in Afghanistan or on ships at sea, lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union have been plotting an act of cultural terrorism against the Navy here at home.  The ACLU is targeting the voluntary lunchtime prayer that has been a tradition at the Naval Academy since its founding.

ACLU Might File Suit To End Lunch Prayer.  The American Civil Liberties Union is threatening to sue the U.S. Naval Academy unless it abolishes its daily lunchtime prayer, saying that some midshipmen have felt pressured to participate.  In a letter to the Naval Academy, Deborah Jeon, legal director for the ACLU of Maryland, said it was "long past time" for the academy to discontinue the tradition.  She said the practice violates midshipmen's freedom to practice religion as their conscience leads them.  The Naval Academy rejected the ACLU's request that the prayer be eliminated.

Virginia's "Minute of Silence" Law Stands .  The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with a Virginia law requiring a moment of silence in the commonwealth's government schools.  The justices rejected a challenge to that law, dashing the hopes of American Civil Liberties Union, which argued against it.  According to ACLU, the law was "enacted specifically to facilitate and encourage school prayer."

The Truth About the ACLU Part 1.  Our so-called "Nation's Guardian of Liberty" has been working relentlessly for over 80 years to weaken our nation's security, morality, and sovereignty.  They have fought to keep us free from our government's protection and safe from any moral compass that may guide our actions.  While the ACLU passes itself off as a champion of American civil rights, it has discreetly waged a war against the very foundation on which this country was built.

The Truth About the ACLU, Part 2.  Why is it that virtually every issue the American Civil Liberties Union tackles has to do with the general acceptance of moral deviancy?  Why does this unelected group of activists think they are allowed to force their politically correct, all-inclusive, "I'm OK, You're OK" mentality on their fellow Americans?

Beware the ACLU.  In 1931, a congressional report of the Special House Committee to Investigate Communist Activities stated:
The American Civil Liberties Union is closely affiliated with the communist movement in the United States, and fully 90 percent of its efforts are on behalf of communists who have come into conflict with the law.  It claims to stand for free speech, free press, 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.
