ACLU isn't "evil"

[stumpjumper]

Well, pornography in libraries and all, (which I don't agree with, btw, but don't know the specifics about anyway) I think we have established that the ACLU is not evil...

We have also established that eating bullets is not good (with or without a permit)...

Anyway, the question that people who still dislike the ACLU should be asking is why we need an organization that's sole purpose is to protect people's civil liberties?

Sure there are liberties that some of us agree with and some of us disagree with but liberty is a good thing.

Why, in the country that is founded on freedom and liberty, does the organization that spends so much time defending our liberties that are being infringed upon by the government get so much flack?

I've been to the Statue of Liberty and its still cool

If that's your criteria for what is good then we can rule out Dobson's Family Life council, Jerry Falwell and his "blow them away in the name of the lord" BS, and Pat Robertson's entire TBN network.

None of them are doing anything to end world hunger or bring about peace...

Unicef is though... Go UN!

I beg to differ, these ministries do that and so much more. Unicef on the other hand... well, now THERE is some real killing going on there: http://www.lifesite.net/waronfamily/unicef/index.html

I think for every lifesite.net link there should be a link to somewhere which has a chance of being balanced.

I feel dirty after looking at lifesite.net

You've got to be kidding. I'm sure Dobson's quest to rid the world of homosexuals helps world poverty in some way but the methodology is beyond me at this point...

In regards to unicef, well, you might want to read something that has, well, actual information within: http://www.unicef.org/statistics/index_24287.html

Well then I suggest you don't Google UNICEF and embezzlement. Some of us remember that scandal some years back.

Eh, if one has a problem with scandal, I'd advise not googling Robertson's 'Operation Blessing' "charity" either.
