Where is the ACLU?

One group that has been uncharacteristically silent in the midst of all these violation of our civil liberties is the ACLU. The motto from the ACLU website: The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.

So now the question remains how are they upholding the liberties of Americans? In their own words: The ACLU also works to extend rights to segments of our population that have traditionally been denied their rights, including people of color; women; lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people; prisoners; and people with disabilities.

So basically they are more interested in special interests groups, and not the general public. They have no real concern with the liberties of the general public, they only care about their self-absorbed minority groups. And now with that minority (the progressives) in power, they are silent about the government abuse of our civil liberties. So much for another liberal, whiny, self-absorbed special interest group claiming all along to be protecting the people from the government. You would think that with all the groups that sprung up to help us against our previously Republican government, we would be protected against all government intrusion into our lives. NOT so, the liberals care nothing about protecting anyone from their buddies in the DC, they only care about their own special interests. HYPOCRISY, is running rampant, the ultimate bigots are those who claim to support the civil liberties of all citizens, and then turn a deaf ear on what is happening now. Eric Holder should be run out of town for saying he would never try a case where the defendant was white. That is racism, and the blacks are the perpetrators.

We are in deep doodoo! and it is the liberals who have the power to change things, but are the ones abusing the people. That is despotism! So where is the ACLU, they are standing behind the abusers and even applauding them. SHAME! It is time for you to apologize, and do your job, as stated on your website.

Free speech

In a fund raising event from 2003, Hillary Clinton screamed shrilly into the microphone, "We are Americans. We have the right to participate and debate any administration." I thank you Hillary for insuring that everyone knows that we have a right to free speech. Maybe you should sit down and chat with Elena Kagen about her ideas on free speech. She believes that the administration has the right to "redistribute speech". Okay so what does that mean? In a nutshell, if the speech can be viewed by someone in power as "inciting violence", the government has the right to move in and stop the hate speech. Okay, so guess who gets to judge what is hate speech? Yeah, Hillary, Bill, Barry and Kagen. And who has the target on their backs? Right, Rush, Hannity, Malkin, and the tea partiers.

I believe in free speech, in fact I have defended your right to say what you wish. Even if I don't personally agree with it, I believe you have a right to say it. Just as Hillary proclaimed in 2003. I heard somewhere that you can tell a mature person, because they will allow free speech that they don't agree with. However, the liberals are all hell bent on controlling the speech that they don't agree with. They hate the tea partiers, and want nothing more than to restrict their right to speak up and voice their opinions, thus exercising their first amendment rights. The libs want to keep the mouths of their opponents shut, they think they have the moral high ground. Why else would they try to control so much of our lives.

But there is a small problem with this philosophy. Remember there has to be some body that decides what speech is allowed, and what is to be restricted or even denied. When this body gets the upper hand, they are very reluctant to give up control, and the fist becomes tighter and tighter. When a population is willing to give up some of its liberty for anything else, than that nation is in decline. We allowed the terrorists to get under our skin and create a fear that made us all ask for our government to protect us. So we gave up some of our freedom in order to feel safe. What else are we willing to give up. Our money in taxes, and yes, they will go up; at what point do we just allow the government to take what it wants and just let them decide what we need to survive? We asked them to control the business climate, "Please big brother, no more layoffs." We asked them to make sure we have a living wage, hello minimum wage laws. And now we are asking them to take care of our health care, what are you willing to give up for that? Nothing is free! At first estimates, everyone person living in the United States (legally) owes $821,655.00

I for one am not willing to allow Big Brother to take anymore of my liberties. I willingly will fight for my right to "participate and debate any administration", thanks to Hillary's blessings. Patrick Henry once proclaimed, "Give me liberty, or give me death", how quickly we have forgotten our history.
