American Criminal Liberties Union
"I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself..."
- Roger Baldwin, founder and long term director of the American Civil Liberties Union

It Isn't Really About Civil Rights At All, Is It?
The Fifth Column JB Williams April 30, 2007
Things are not always as they seem, and they are almost never as they are sold. Unfortunately, even when presented with hard facts, many Americans still prefer the lie over the truth, finding the lie less scary.
Believe it or not, every crackpot notion is not a civil right in America or any other nation. In fact, most of the battles fought in the name of civil rights in America today, have little if anything to do with civil rights. Most have much more to do with special rights…and not the kind of rights that belong in America..

Many Americans proudly call themselves "progressives" today, but most of them have absolutely no idea who Baldwin is, what he believed and spent a lifetime working towards, or therefore, what it really means to be a "progressive". They think it’s some free-thinking pursuit of progress, because that’s what they’ve been sold.
But does it strike anyone (besides me) as odd, that a group calling themselves the American Civil Liberties Union, a self-proclaimed defender of "civil rights", would be overtly anti-Declaration, anti-Constitution and fundamentally anti-American?
The top five ACLU causes…
1. Anti-Right to Life (Women’s civil rights)
2. Anti-First Amendment (atheist civil rights)
3. Anti-Second Amendment (criminal civil rights)
4. Anti-equality (pro-reverse discrimination)
5. Criminal Defense of the guilty, at the expense of the innocent
Can anyone look at the public agenda of the ACLU and honestly call them a defender of American Civil Liberties? Only if you are a "progressive" who still does not know what it means to be a "progressive"…NEWS FLASH…It has nothing to do with "progress"…or American rights of any kind.
