What is the goal of the ACLU?
By Jack Ward
June 1, 2005
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sounds like an organization that protects American values. Many people believe that the ACLU is the nation's guardian of liberty, and great protector of the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, the ACLU was never a promoter, or protector of American values or the Constitution. In fact, ACLU might as well stand for the American Communist Lawyers Union. The ACLU has created the facade that it is a champion of the oppressed, but it uses the powers of the government to coerce all members of our society into accepting a socialist existence.
Don't believe me, just read what Roger Baldwin, the co-founder of the ACLU said: "I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the properties class, and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. I don't regret being part of the communist tactic. I knew what I was doing. I was not an innocent liberal. I wanted what the communists wanted, and I traveled the United Front road to get it." In spite of Baldwin's Communist leanings, President Jimmy Carter awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on January 16, 1981.
Baldwin didn't create the ACLU in a vacuum, he had plenty of help. A group of Communist Party officials, fellow travelers, anarchists, and radicals joined Baldwin to found the ACLU in 1920.
Former chairman of the Communist Party USA, William Z. Foster was also an ACLU co-founder. Foster said, "The establishment of an American Soviet government will involve the confiscation of large landed estates in town and country, and also, the whole body of forests, mineral deposits, lakes, rivers, and so on."
The ACLU's official policy statement reveals that the intent of the ACLU (like the Communist Manifesto) is to undermine the moral foundation, and weaken the fabric of our society. For example, according to the ACLU's Policy Guide, the ACLU supports the legalization of all drugs (including "hard" drugs, like crack and PCP), public drunkenness, pornography (including "kiddie porn"), sexual perversion, (including sodomy, bestiality, pedophilia, and necrophilia), prostitution (including child prostitution), euthanasia, and infanticide.
Policy numbers 62 and 75 reveal that the ACLU is also opposed to a parent's role in educating their children, including home schooling and vouchers. Obviously, they believe the education of our youth is too important to be left to parents.
Policy numbers 239 and 242 state that the ACLU is opposed to the death penalty, even for the most heinous murderers. What is worse, the ACLU demands that all criminals (except murderers) be given suspended sentences, and released back into the community. We already know that most convicted criminals are prone to resume their life of crime, once released from prison. The ACLU policy of leniency is on display, everyday. These are examples of ACLU Policies that are designed to weaken the fabric of our society.
The ACLU mirrors Lenin's Rules for Revolution. Lenin's rules were revealed after a 1919 raid in Dusseldorf, Germany. The files marked Communist Rules for Revolution, included:
corrupt the young, control all means of publicity, divide people into hostile groups, destroy people's faith, preach democracy, but seize power, encourage government extravagance and discontent, foment strikes and civil disorder, breakdown moral values, and create a pretext to control all firearms.
These were Lenin's plans to undermine a society and create chaos, in order to successfully overthrow a government. And all this time, you thought that the ACLU was really concerned with your civil liberties.
Now, you know that the goal of the ACLU was, and continues to be, to promote Communism. Baldwin and his Communist buddies ran the ACLU for thirty years promoting the goals of the Communist Manifesto, and little has changed since he left. While it is true that not all ACLU members or supporters are Communists, all must be sympathetic to the ACLU goals, or they wouldn't be associated with the ACLU.
Once created, the ACLU provided legal protection to Communist infiltrators in the U.S. Since then, the ACLU has been the legal arm of the Collective Left (Communists, Socialists, Progressives, and Liberals) anarchists, radicals, and members of the Ku Klux Klan and NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association).
Former ACLU Southern California staff attorney, Rees Lloyd is now working to expose the ACLU. Lloyd describes the ACLU as, "the Taliban of American liberal secularism."
I guess that the ACLU's goal must be to create anarchy, and destroy our society.
Good posts, FRiends!
Anybody wonders why do we hold on to our guns? The Founding Fathers didn't wonder; THEY KNEW!
I don't know. I differ greatly with the Vice President on the civilian data mining project being considered in DARPA. I think it is an unnecessary intrusion in my privacy to have my purchases and movements watched and catalogued. I don't think this is a manufactured debate.
Does Howard Dean support the President on Social Security reform? School vouchers? Smaller government? I do...

Such a nuanced life, eh? Be advised, there are very few shades of gray. Nuance is for the Left. We on the Right proclaim that it is what it is.
Socialistic world government.
Everything they do serves this goal.
Hey Alex,
Here's a question: How old are you?
Thanks.

I am thirty. Why?
The Traitor Party restricts civil rights, and has done so for over a century ("Jim Crow" was a Democrat creation, as was the Gun Control Act of 1938, 1968, the Brady Law, and their opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1968 is legendary....just ask Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia....a Klansman. There's how devoted to civil rights they are.)
As for open government, let us look at which administration in the last forty years had the most cover-ups: Was it Nixon? Nope. Watergate was a botched burglary carried out without either the knowledge or approval of the president. Ford? Nope. Reagan? Nope.....Iran-Contra wasn't a cover-up, it was an attempt to execute executive policy while a legislative intrusion on the executive branch was in place (the "Boland Amendment"). Bush 41? Nope. Bush 43? Wrong again. Try Clinton. Troopergate. Monicagate. Filegate. Whitewater. Cattlegate. The rape of Juanita Broadrick. The harassment of whistleblowers. When it comes to cover-ups, the Traitors have it all over the Republicans, so claiming open government is where you side with them is bull.
Freedom of Speech? McVain-Feingold? Use of the IRS to silence critics of the president? Feingold is a Traitor, and McVain might just as well be. Clinton made extreme use of federal assets to harass those who spoke against him, to the point where if someone weren't a flaming communist, free speech and a free press were nearly lost concepts.
Shall we talk about Elian Gonzalez? How about Waco? The use of federal law enforcement and violations of the Posse Comitatus act? Deal with it. Your beloved Traitor Party wouldn't know how to honor civil rights if it had to.
Hayako your butt back over to DU, Alex. You're either a troll or ignorant beyond hope.
You obviously don't have an answer to my questions, especially your post below about impeaching the president:

You got caught with your pants down playing young and naive!
You'll take the trolley bus!
Buh Bye!
Moral Absolutes Ping.
Just sat down at my "desk", and knew I had to ping this one out. Haven't even read it yet.
Defund the ACLU and it will be de-fanged automatically. Money makes that engine run. Without OUR tax dollars pouring into its coffers, it will be neutered.
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
This is the answer to my question in #41. LA had no answer. He's not active on any other threads and his answers to simple questions are pretty quick.
So, another question for LA: Are you gonna spend the rest of the afternoon being angry or come into the light?
Alex, Alex,
You are sounding like one of those obnxious bleeding heart liberals who's inablity to define right from wrong, crying for the "rights" of all Americans has made you incapable of distinguishing where evil exists. You are the very "moderate" that weakens the American cause. Please read up on the TRUTH of our FOUNDING FATHERS.
What do you want to know? How am I not in the light?
You cannot see. Either the lights are out or it's congenital.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
The ACLU is 99.99% wrong. Its record of being on the right side is so miniscule it doesn't change a thing.
Because nineteen would have been an excuse.
Thanks for answering.
Touche.
bumping for a bookmark
I agree with democrats on civil liberties, open government, and freedom of speech. Where does that put me?I'd say they use those to divide the country. Class warfare. Where does that put you, then?
RKBA-SIX-ACTUAL TO ALL RKBA AND VKS ELEMENTS: ADVISE CHECK FIRE FOR RECON AND EVAL
LittleAlex,
Welcome to FR.
I have read the sum total of your comments. You hold some views not well-liked here, but you do not seem to me to be a disruptor or "troll".
How do you think the ACLU would respond if the TSA started profiling?
