It isn't really about Civil Rights at all, is it?
Capitol Hill ^ | April 30, 2007 | JB Williams

Posted on 04/30/2007 5:51:22 AM PDT by PlainOleAmerican

Does it strike anyone (besides me) as odd, that a group calling themselves the American Civil Liberties Union, a self-proclaimed defender of “civil rights”, would be overtly anti-Declaration, anti-Constitution and fundamentally anti-American?”

Things are not always as they seem, and they are almost never as they are sold. Unfortunately, even when presented with hard facts, many Americans still prefer the lie over the truth, finding the lie less scary.

Believe it or not, every crackpot notion is not a civil right in America or any other nation. In fact, most of the battles fought in the name of civil rights in America today, have little if anything to do with civil rights. Most have much more to do with special rights…and not the kind of rights that belong in America.

Allow me to introduce you to an important American icon by presenting two of his quotes for which he is famous in civil rights circles, but dangerously unknown to most Americans.

“I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself… I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”

Many years ago (I want to say around 30 years ago) I saw an interview on PBS with Roger Baldwin. The interview was one of the most disgusting pieces of bias I have ever seen in my life.

It mostly consisted of some woman “journalist” interviewing Baldwin as they walked around his multi acre garden.

Questions were (and this is not verbatim but damn close) things like, “Mr Baldwin you are so wise. Tell us how we as Americans can more respect the rights of others.”

Baldwin was just a disgusting old atheist-communist.

Yet, many Americans today never heard of him, and they listen to Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Obama and just about every Democrat in America, as they regurgitate the same principles and ideas and come away thinking, “how progressive!”

Ou nation is very sick... Infected deeply by this perverted organization and those now leading congress.

And still, many Americans just don’t get it!

Not if you’ve been paying attention for the past 30 or 40 years.

Are we really at the point in time when the “new majority” of Americans no longer know American principles or care?

The elections sure look that way.

Do secular socialists now out-number patriotic Americans?

Sadly true...

I know a few “Jesus was a commie” Christians... For me, it’s not possible to be both “Christian” and “commie”. But not all Christians agree...

The writer fails to mention several key points at the end orf his article.

He stated that American got it wrong in '06 ( which they did) but there wasn't any screaming about disenfranchisement of minorities, etc. because democRATS won.

Wait until next year and if the GOP wins in the senate ort retakes the house and holds the White House, the squeals of those as shown below will be deafening.

Time for another civil war then...

They will only push until pushed back... They don’t have what it takes to fight face to face. They think they are coming to a rally... a sit-in, a weekend at Woodstock.

When will conservatives decide they’ve had enough?
