Get those perverted welfare leeches off the federal dole.
We need to all remember Newt Gingrich's very public campaign to "defund the left" back in 1995 -- not only the ACLU but the Legal Defense Fund and other organizations.
The media got their collective panties in a wad and found another reason to continue savaging Gingrich. Newt was at his most belligerent on this issue (even though he was right) yet with a Democratic President he was unable to get anywhere, and this issue in part resulted in the shutdown of the Government.
Defunding the left should be done a little more surreptitiously -- rather than lining out the funding, it should be slowly bled to death with budget reductions and slight clarifications in legal text. The media wolves are still out there and even with all three branches of Government in Republican hands the NYT and the Wash Post will smile gleefully for another reason to call the Republicans extremist.
