#1 Which letter in "ACLU" stands for "sharia"?

#2 what worries me most when I read stories like this is that you can see where the future will take us. There are 250 plus million people in the US. A small percentage of them are radicals who wish to bring us down. A greater, but still small percentage of them provide lip service to these radicals because they think it makes them superior to be for something chic and different from the norm; no ordinary folks, these.

But the majority of people in the United States are sane, well adjusted, and want to live peaceful lives, be they white, black, hispanic, Christian, Muslims or Jews.

To get some idea of the actual number of people who really get into these wacko ideas you only need look at the "success" of Air America. Yet they have the stage and the megaphone and have come to believe that they really have numbers and suppor that they don't have.

Anyway, my point is that at some point the majority of people in the US will reach a point where we understand what humans have understood for centuries - that you cannot tolerate having seditious traitors walking in your midst, smiling and telling you how wonderful it is that they intend to get you killed. So at some point, a threshold will be crossed and if history is any guide, it won't be pretty when it happens. It starts with pogroms and ends in war. If we don't step up to the plate and stop these people now, the past is pretty clear as to what the future will bring.

#3 Another data point in the hard left-muslim convergence. They should be deported together to Islamostan.

#4 How about voting the bums out who pass the laws and appoint the Judges that allow horsesh*t like this to happen.

I'm just sayin'....

#5 To be clearIm no fan of the ACLU. With that said, mitigating any governments encroachment on individual civil liberties is a good thingright? The question is; what is the appropriate balance? Not surprising, groups like the ACLUs only concern is advancing their causes, at any cost, and have no apprehension of blurring any semblance of balance between government order vs. individual liberties. Instinctively, many in government see this as a reverse threat causing them to recoil into more opaque methods of governance. Which in turn is viewed as by the self appointed defenders as further violations and the cycle continues. Bottom line, the owness is on the governments not the individuals to prove their case. I for one am confidant that just laws will withstand any challenge...no matter how outrageous the charge.

#7 Can anyone think of anything positive the ACLU has ever done ? Who funds these ratshit bastards ? Is this another Ford Foundation/Teresa Kerry collaboration ? These asshholes need to be disbanded and their communist members run out of the US. They perpetuate daily damage on our society.

#9 Comment #8 : Umm, no thank you. I wouldn't touch any member of the ACLU with less than a full Hazmat suit on.

#10 FNC last night > Euros recognize that America is singularly/unilater several times wealthier than all of the Euro-states as a region combined, and is so despite Europe having 170? Milyuhn more citizens than America, and that this same "wealth gap" between America and Europe will only get worse over the next 20 years. I mave had heard it incorrectly but I believe FNC also mentioned that "Europe" included the post-USSR Eastern Euro nations + post-Soviet Russia, separately or jointly wid Western Europe. It was also staed that although the Euros enjoy more GOVT/PUBLIC SEOTR BENEFITS than Americans do, said benefits has NOT resulted in parity against America or the Amer way of life - THUSLY, MANY EUROS ARE NOW ENGAGED IN A "RE-THINK" OF THE ROLE OF PUBLIC GOVT. IN THEIR NORMAL QUALITY-AFFAIRS OF LIFE.
* T'aint it funny how the Euros may wanna decentralize and de-Socialize in the LT whilst here in Clintonian Amerika our DemoLefties and aligned want America to do the opposite. Our DemoLefties and aligned are fighting hard for those handful of special reserved seats on the Politburo and Presidium of the future Amer People's Revolutionary Central Committee of the Communist Party of the USA which Russia-China never promised them, and more importantly won't and will never give them iff Commie history is any measure.
