I kind of get tired of the funnel vision some people get when they hear the words The ACLU. Surely it was created by a Communist group, but it was done so, so they could be assured that their free speech rights could be retained. I don't think I have to remind you of the evils of The House Committee on Unamerican Activities did to peoples lives just for having a difference of opinion. I'd also look up McCarthyism when you have a chance.

The idea that the ACLU is against anyone's freedom of religion is nonsense. The reason that you hear so much about it going up against Christianity is because Christianity is the predominant religion in the country. It has saturated the country and is so much apart of our culture that some simply assume it should be in every area it wants to be and It doesn't.

Religion is a private matter between a person and their creator and should not be displayed prominently in an area that is controlled or supported by the government, because that may create an environment where those of other religions feel like an underclass of people. This is not the American way of doing things and never has been.

If you want a list of the times that The ACLU has defended the practice of religion then pleas look at this linc.

I have and never will be afraid of anything secular that comes after me or my faith, because I know God won't place a burden too strong for me to bare infront of me. He tests me in areas that I'm not aware of and all I can say is, that if he does then those are the areas that I need work on.

I'm not afraid of the ACLU.
I'm not afraid of the far left
I'm not afraid of the far right, even though I as a Christian get pulled into their antics by a gleeful press.
I'm not afraid of those who disagree with me because many of them make me think, unlike some Christians I know.
I'm not afraid of the ideas and ideals of others because they can't sever the link between my God and savior.

I'm more afraid of what I do when I allow myself to be angered by those who oppose me, because God has his eye on me. I am responsible for my own actions. No one else's and If I get distracted by the attempts of others to take away what Man has given me then I have proven myself more a citizen of this world than a citizen of the kingdom of God. For I am enticed by the worlds promises.

:clap: A Communist founded organization that demands Christians cower to their demands or else can take a hike baby! YEAH!
You do realize that the ACLU has a history of defending the rights of Christians as well, right? They've saved you from a number of things. I'm sure you'll be singing their praises the next time one of those cases hits the headlines...I haven't heard of them demanding that their own clients cower to communist demands, but alright.

Yes, because Communist government has been so widely successful in the history of the world.

From my understanding, there has never been a true Communist country, ever in the world.

There have been those who claim to be communist, but those who have set up these institutions have usurped power from the masses and became themselves the very entity that communism is supposed to protect the masses against.

There is not enough selfless people in the world, today that would be willing to give up enough of the clutter in their lives to allow any form of Communism to take root.

They're just as much boogeymen as nazis are.
And communism/socialism has more lives on its conscience than nazism does.

Got a similar level of hate for Volkswagen?

You might research the origin of the ACLU. Early 20th century, right around if not spot on 1920 if I recall the year.
And they're entire platform and origin and still remains, is Communist Socialist.
And when a group fights for Christians rights and then opposes Christians rights, I don't consider them a great friend.
When they fight for pedophiles rights to distribute child inappropriate content on the the Internet, I don't consider them my friend.
When a Christian needs to get an attorney to fight the ACLU, while in another case they may have the ACLU fighting for them, they're not consistent enough to be thought to be anyone's friend.

Civil Liberties!
Fighting for and fighting against, isn't championing Civil Liberty. And by God's own word, championing the rights of baby rapists sure isn't championing the civil right of a child not to be raped or molested by a pedophile.
And no, I won't provide the proof of that. If you wish to champion ACLU you should already know that about their "activism". And if you don't, shame on you. Because it made headlines no one could miss when it was happening.
NMBLA! May they repent or burn! That den of perverts dedicated to Satan was their client.

Oh, and no, ACLU didn't fight for me. I'm likely to fight ACLU before I'd let pervert defenders represent my name in what they define as inconsistent , chance of sponsorship of perversion, civil liberty.

I don't know if they've made up for their past.
But I do know that socialists/communists try to tell everyone how the countries using their ideology are, in fact, not. The few who don't use THIS tactic, are claiming that the horrors socialism has inflicted upon the world are all "Imperialist propaganda"

Bottom line: Socialism/communism is evil and soaked in blood.

If you say so. Has nothing to do with the modern ACLU, though.

Can you back this up with a fact that isn't 95 years old? That tells me very little.

Indeed. Volkswagen itself was backed by Hitler and the word means, the peoples car.
I don't drive a VW. Glad not now that the scandal is in the news about their Diesels. And they won't be sold, Diesel, in 2016 in America due to that bit of shenanigans. And they tried to blame it on a couple of rouge IT programmers. Please!

But enough about off topic nonsense.

I'm proud of this school board. Keep up the fight. ACLU isn't opposed to joining with FFRF. And everybody knows they're far from all about civil rights. Guilt by association and all that.

And to the prior remark about a true Communist country, no, there's not been one in history. Which should say a great deal about the philosophy itself. Russia was the closest to adopting the Marxist ideal but as we know they collapsed.

What's interesting is, in a free country where the first amendment predated any radical political ideology, a Communist group forms, anywhere, as do Socialist, and they carp and moan about the current Democratic Republic and the Capitalist system they thrive in as a tax exempt entity. And while they argue all that's gotta change.

"Communism is a socioeconomic system structured upon the common ownership of the means of production and characterized by the absence of social classes, money, and the state; as well as a social, political and economic ideology and movement that aims to establish this social order."
Karl Marx

That's bad form. You don't ask others to present the sources for your claims. You present them yourself.
I would agree with BP. Someone who presumes to argue on behalf of the ACLU even a little bit shouldn't need to be educated about them at all.

Tell you what, search Google with these keywords: ACLU still communist
Like your last Google search, that led directly to sources that stated the exact opposite of your claims? I'm not sure you quite get how this providing citation or burden of evidence business works...
