What are the real goals of the American Civil Liberties Union?

American Civil Liberties Union 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 façade 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 fabric of our society.

Policy numbers 62 and 75 reveal that the ACLU is 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 every day. 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 Düsseldorf, 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, break down 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 30 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 United States. 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.

The surrender of the American people into the slavery
of the NWO global government...

Peace when the whole world is under the boot of one dictator
with the elite progressive illuminated ones as overlords
naturally...

The enemy domestic-

imo

The total destruction of America, Western civilization and any semblence of rational, pragmatic thought or action.

The triumph of baloney and BS, chaos and anarchy.

Gee! What a coincidence! I think that's also pretty much the democratic platform. No?

I can tell you what the ACLU IS NOT .......,

THEY are not to be trusted, They are the polar opposite of Individual Liberty's.

Their biggest foe is the ACLJ.

"The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) specializes in constitutional law and is based in Washington, D.C. Through our work in the courts and the legislative arena, the ACLJ is dedicated to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms. In addition to providing its legal services at no cost to our clients, the ACLJ focuses on the issues that matter most to you – national security, protecting America’s families, and protecting human life."

And..... "The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is committed to insuring the ongoing viability of constitutional freedoms. By specializing in constitutional law, the ACLJ is dedicated to the concept that freedom and democracy are God-given inalienable rights that must be protected. The ACLJ engages in litigation, provides legal services, renders advice, counsels clients, provides education, and supports attorneys who are involved in defending the religious and civil liberties of Americans. As a non-profit organization, the ACLJ does not charge for its services and is dependent upon God and the resources He provides through the time, talent, and gifts of people who share our concerns and desire to protect our religious and constitutional freedoms."

These ideas & values sicken them. The ACLU has become a cancer on our society, except IT only infects what's good and tries to strenghen what's bad. !!!

In spite of?? Birds of a [red] feather flock together. We're still trying to recover from the Carter years and his anti-American actions as ex-President.

Jack Ward wrote this well. To the point and without coming off as a RW rant. This should be shared widely

Old bill shakespere was close but slightly wrong. It shouldn't be "1st let's kill all the lawyers", it should be 1st let's kill all the a.c.l.u. lawyers.

This is the crux of the article and the only thing that needs be said.
The ACLU was among the first to adopt the "Let's use the Free Society's basic principles as weapons to destroy it". A perfect example of the Communist belief that "Capitalism will sell us the rope with which to hang them". That the U.S. was the most successful capitalist society was strictly coincidental.

Today, as we speak, both the ACLU and the SMs* continue to use our most chrished principles as weapons against ourselves.

*SM© = Sweet Muslims.
