Every day, the headlines scream with some new threat from the American Civil Liberties Union. I believe it's important to look behind the curtain and discover the origins of groups and organizations to better understand their activities.
The ACLU was founded in the 1920s by Roger Baldwin and Crystal Eastman, described as a "progressive" and "the perfect feminist."
Earl Browder was general secretary of the Communist Party of the United States from 1930 through its dissolution in 1944. When the party was reconstituted as the Communist Political Association later that year, Browder was chosen as its president. Browder proudly proclaimed that the ACLU functioned as "a transmission belt" for the party. To deny the ACLU's founding was attached at the hip to communist organizations is to deny what can easily be proven as truth.
For the past few decades, the ACLU has been on a major crusade to destroy Christianity in America, promote filth under "freedom of speech and expression," and of course, vigorously defend the homosexual culture of death. On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr., D-Fla., read a list of 45 communist goals into the Congressional Record. Below are the communist goals being implemented by the ACLU in their quest to destroy America's culture and traditions:
* Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
* Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
* Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings," substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.
* Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
* Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
* Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and television.
* Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."
* Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
* Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
* Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the communists took over. Obliterating the American past, with its antecedents in principles of freedom, liberty and private ownership is a major goal of the communists then and now.
* Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
* Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Anyone who has been following the destructive path of the ACLU can easily see how effective these communist goals have been implemented to "promote democracy" and protect your "civil rights." Lenin stated: "Communism alone is capable of providing really complete democracy." (See Tucker, "The Lenin Anthology"). James Madison, known as the "Father of the Constitution" had something different to say about a democracy:
Democracy is the most vile form of government ... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention, have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
Perhaps it's time to recognize the ACLU as the American Communist Lawyers Union instead of their disingenuous "civil rights" stage name.
No organization can exist without memberships and funding. It is inconceivable to me how anyone who claims to be a Christian, lawyer or layman, could belong to such an anti-American organization as the ACLU. Burn your card and get out. Organizations like Working Assets, tobacco companies and big corporations all donate to the ACLU, which in turn uses that money to buy the favors of those who serve in Congress – who vote to unconstitutionally fund the activities of the ACLU under the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Awards Act of 1976.
If Americans really want to put the ACLU out of business, remove yourself as a member of their organization, boycott companies that donate to them and demand these public servants in Congress repeal the unconstitutional funding of this subversive organization.
There is no justification under Art. 1, Sec. 8, to steal from the people's treasury to give money to the ACLU or any other organization for "civil rights" lawsuits. Your Congress critter will be in your district during the month of December – make the most of it.
Devvy Kidd authored the booklet, "Why A Bankrupt America and Blind Loyalty," which has sold close to 2,000,000 copies. She has been a guest more than 1,600 times on radio shows, run for Congress twice and is a highly sought after public speaker.
WAKE UP AMERICA.
Organizations like the ACLU (i.e., Amerikan Communist Lovers Union) are destroying America from within and a lot of people via their own ignorance and or greed (or both) are helping it along.
ACLU (i.e., Amerikan Communist Lovers Union)
ACLU = A******* (NOT American) Communist LAWYERS Union
And ignore the post-1989 part?
Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
They've been very successful in his regard. ......and in the others as well.
his = this
I don't think even THEY think communism has any currency anymore.
EVIL is as EVIL does..
"The ACLU was founded in the 1920s "
In over 80 years they have NOT succeeded in destroying Christianity and never will. Tho they sure tried and are still trying till today.
The dims proclaim to be 'progressives" and are trying to destroy Christianity under "religion freedom rights" which equates to stop Christians.
NEVER HAPPEN! I dont think so.
It appears that the ONLY choice for any Christian American is the Republican party!! Period!
BTTT
A commie is always a commie. Their objective is the destruction of the liberties they purport to protect.
Maybe they haven't succeeded yet, but they have made VAST inroads into the destruction of Christianity. Look at the vastly overblown sexual abuse by priests scandal that has nearly bankrupted the Catholic Church here in the U.S. Dozens of parishes have closed because of this, while multi-million dollar MOSQUES are being built in their place.

Atheism needs to be brought to the forefront with the ACLU as the church. By accepting Atheism as a religion and the ACLU as the church you take the politics out of it, forcing the ACLU to now accept other ideologies as legitimate.
As it stands now, there can be no opposition to the ACLU as long as they are not governed by any standards other than the ones they created. By creating a common denomiator(an example would be a hammer and sickle(representing the ACLU) on government property to go along with a manger scene during Christmas) we can now put the ACLU on the same playing field, giving us our religious freedom and taking away a weapon.
This is how you beat the ACLU. If you look at the 45 points, take each one and reduce it to its common denominator and associate the ACLU with it.

No kidding...you should see some of the stuff that shows up here:

Is there any way one can get hold of the original by-laws of the aclu? I think it details, exactly, why the aclu was formed. It was formed originally to take down the American government and replace it with a communist government.
