Wooo.... in a few days I'll become a CARD CARRYING member of the ACLU!

Just like wearing pink which independantly makes good fashion sense but happens to be congruent with a gay steriotype does not make one gay

No... it does

The way the ACLU protects freedoms is by attacking others freedoms. I despise their tactics and the battles they chose to fight. We can no longer display the 10 Commandments but we have to put up with public prayers to Allah... Hypocracy!

Why not both? Because the ACLU sees both as an infringment of ppls personal freedoms.

If they preached tolerance more than suppresion of representation I would be more happy.

What the hell are you talking about? Public prayer to Allah, i.e., God, are just as abhorent to the ACLU as displaying the 10C . . . on public property! The ACLU is not for removing Christian symbols, unless they are someplace they have no business being, like on public property!

There is no law against Christians praying at school, just against organized prayer at public schools. You cannot use the government to force your religion on others, regardless of how right you think you are.

My money should not be used to support religionists' expression of their beliefs. If they want to hold services to God, let them do it on their own time, with their own money.

Really? Look at their work with Judge Phyllis Hamilton and you will see that I am right. That the ACLU is only against Christianity and when they remove christian and jewish symbolism or prayer they replace it with islamic ones.

Did I say that? No. The ACLU believes that a cross offends. If they had their way it would be against the law for people to have double paned windows in their homes because it looks like a cross and offends passer-bys.

If they want to hold services to God, let them do it on their own time, with their own money.

So, once you look up their dealing with Judge Hamilton and how they go out of their way to keep Islam in the PUBLIC schools but eradicate Christianity, tell me how they are doing this...

My money should not be used to keep me from expressing my beliefs. If you don't want to hear my beliefs, go somewhere else.

ACK!

What, with overturning the Federal ban of late term abortion? I see she made an insane ruling saying it was okay to allow that class teaching about Islam, but I don't see where the ACLU had anything to do with it. I agree the ruling is disgusting, but I don't see what the ACLU has to do with it.

It's not. You are perfectly free to use your money and express your beliefs, as long as you don't force me to subsidize you.

Because the ruling was made based off of articles written by the ACLU and one Mr. Bill Clinton.

She is defending the ACLU's right to do this sort of thing.

Says the person who's quoted Indymedia to us before.

[Japher]

Just using them to show the facts, since all the liberal media wants to cover it up. Nevermind their "opinions" just look at the FACTS.

[Q Classic]

btw, way to go on joining something that you believe in. i'd considered the ACLU before, but they do far too many things that i disagree with.

which is why i sent my money to the EFF instead.
