They should be arrested for Treason, and sentenced accordingly.
This is right and good.
The time to act is now, before we have not country left.
Well, that does seem to me to be a pretty blatant church and state entanglement violating the first amendment.
The word I forgot was "beliefs".
How many cases do you need to hear about the ACLU in lawsuits because of nativity scenes or Christmas carols?
prayer?

oddly enough they supported forcing 12 years old to not simply learn about Islam, but to take muslim names and pray islamic prayers.
As to the history of the aclu....below is an exerpt from http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45959
Editor's note: Be sure to get your copy of Alan Sears' powerful new book, "The ACLU vs. America: Exposing the Agenda to Redefine Moral Values."
One of the great myths of the 20th – and now 21st – century is the belief that the American Civil Liberties Union was an organization that had a noble beginning, but somehow strayed off course.
That myth is untrue. The ACLU set a course to destroy America – her freedom and her values – right from the start.
From its very beginning, the ACLU had strong socialist and communist ties. As early as 1931, the U.S. Congress was alarmed by the ACLU's devotion to communism. A report by the Special House Committee to Investigate Communist Activities statedRoger Baldwin and Crystal Eastman founded the ACLU in 1920 along with three other organizations dedicated to the most leftist of causes. The histories of these two individuals belie their claims of patriotism and respect for the Constitution.
The American Civil Liberties Union is closely affiliated with the communist movement in the United States, and fully 90 percent of its efforts are on behalf of communists who have come into conflict with the law. It claims to stand for free speech, free press and free assembly, but it is quite apparent that the main function of the ACLU is an attempt to protect the communists.
Baldwin openly sought the utter destruction of American society. Fifteen years after the founding of the ACLU, Baldwin wrote:I am for Socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the abolishing of the State itself ... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.
Or are you completely unaware of the secular history of the cross, and secular uses of the cross today? Or do you want to continue to erroneously assume the cross only has one purpose, one of a religious nature?
obviously there's a few that I would agree with, however, by and large they stand against the things I hold dear as a Christian and avid defender of the Constitution.
The reasons for opposition are varied, although conservatives often view the ACLU stance of separation of church and state as anti-religious,[53] and their defense of both accused and convicted criminals as undermining law and order.
Furthermore, the nature of the ACLU is that they defend even the most unpopular forms of speech and expression, notably those with which most other organizations would not wish to associate themselves.
Often, its clients are notoriously unpopular such as Neo-Nazi organizations and the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a group which supports lifting all age restrictions on pederasty. In the case of NAMBLA, the ACLU's Massachusetts affiliate represented the organization, on first amendment grounds, in a wrongful death civil suit that was based solely on the fact that a man who raped and murdered a child had visited the NAMBLA website.[54]
Although the ACLU does not endorse NAMBLA's message, its defense of the group has been widely criticized. Additionally the ACLU has initiated several court cases involving government funding of organizations that discriminate against homosexuals and atheists, prominently including the Boy Scouts of America.[55]
Laws are not, as a rule, retroactive. You can't arrest people who drank alcohol before prohibition was legislated.Among the most notable controversial cases which involved the American Civil Liberties Union are the following:
- The ACLU currently opposes, under the ex post facto clause of the Constitution, the retroactive application of Megan’s Law (which requires law enforcement authorities to identify convicted sex offenders to the public at large through various media outlets) to persons convicted before the law was passed.[56][57] The ACLU initially opposed the bill in its entirety, considering it "misguided political posturing that [would] do nothing to reduce sex crimes,"[58] but has not advocated that position recently.
- The ACLU also defended Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North,[54] whose conviction was tainted by coerced testimony — a violation of his fifth amendment rights.[59]
- The ACLU fought for the Westboro Baptist Church and Shirley Phelps-Roper after legislation prevented the group from picketing outside of veteran's funerals.[60] The Westboro Baptist Church is infamous for their picket signs that contain messages such as, "God Hates [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]," "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and "Thank God for 9/11." The ACLU issued a statement calling the legislation a "law that infringes on Shirley Phelps-Roper's rights to religious liberty and free speech."[61] The suit was successful. [62]
- The ACLU has filed 6 lawsuits against the Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana school board over what the group sees as teacher-led prayer in school activities.[63]
Why was the gag order sought in the first place?
- The ACLU defended Frank Snepp, formerly of the Central Intelligence Agency, from an attempt by the government agency to enforce a gag order against him.[64]
- The ACLU has aided the Florida Justice Institute and WriteAPrisoner.com in supporting prisoner's rights, especially what the ACLU sees as the First Amendment right to post online profiles seeking pen pals during their incarceration and jobs upon their release.
The ACLU's stance on the second amendment is ambivilent -- they may not like guns, but that doesn't mean people can't be allowed to talk about them.
- In 2006, the ACLU of Washington state and the Second Amendment Foundation jointly filed a lawsuit[65] against the North Central Regional Library District (NCRL) in Washington State for its policy of refusing to disable restrictions upon an adult patron's request. Library patrons attempting to access pro-gun web sites were blocked, and the library refused to remove the blocks.
Much ACLU work is done in the political arena where it faces frequent controversy as well.
Blacklists? I thought those went out with McCarthy. Everything old is new again, I suppose.
- The ACLU has been a vocal opponent of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, the PATRIOT 2 Act of 2003, and associated legislation made in response to the threat of domestic terrorism. The ACLU believes such legislation violates either the letter or the spirit of the U.S. Bill of Rights. In response to a requirement of the USA PATRIOT Act, the ACLU withdrew from the Combined Federal Campaign.[66] The requirement was that ACLU employees must be checked against a federal anti-terrorism watch list. The ACLU has stated that it would "reject $500,000 in contributions from private individuals rather than submit to a government 'blacklist' policy."[66]
- The ACLU opposes the use of capital punishment, calling it "the ultimate denial of civil liberties."[67] The ACLU claims that the death penalty is unfairly applied to racial minorities and the poor, and considers it "cruel and unusual" punishment.[68] The organization often opposes executions on the grounds that the present method of lethal injection sometimes goes awry.[69]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACLU
- The ACLU's position on spam is considered controversial by a broad cross-section of political points of view. In 2000, Marvin Johnson, a legislative counsel for the ACLU, stated that proposed anti-spam legislation infringed on free speech by denying anonymity and by forcing spam to be labeled as such: "Standardized labeling is compelled speech." He also stated, "It's relatively simple to click and delete."[70] The debate found the ACLU joining with the Direct Marketing Association and the Center for Democracy and Technology in criticizing a bipartisan bill in the House of Representatives in 2000. As early as 1997 the ACLU had taken a strong position that nearly all spam legislation was improper,[71] although it has supported "opt-out" requirements in some cases. The ACLU opposed the 2003 CAN-SPAM act[72] suggesting that it could have a chilling effect on speech in cyberspace.
Well, the Red Cross is a secular image, but that is a block-type plus sign. AFAIK, the upright Latin Cross (three short arms with the lower one elongated) is pretty much only used as a symbol of religious faith. (Though I believe it did have pagan roots.) Today, does it have any non-religious associations?
I'm a non-believer, but personally I think that the ACLU sometimes gets a bit hung up on purely ceremonial religiosity. Just not that big a deal to me. I'd actually favor a different approach. If a city building displayed a cross, I'd try to find a Jewish or Muslim citizen (or better yet, both) to file suit and force the city to also display a Star of David and an Islamic crescent. And both would have to be just as large and just as prominent. It would still get the point across. And I think that actually would be more in keeping with the idea that government must show no preference to any lawful religion.
it may be true they had roots in communism, but to suggest they intended to take down the US is absurd. their orgins are, of course, irrelevant to the work they do today.The ACLU was started by a self professed communist with teh stated goal of taking the US down from within the system.

this never happened. please stop spreading lies.mont974x4 said:and trying to force the removel of crosses and Christian symbols from veterans graves.
nonsense.the group at this school wants to discriminate based on religious beliefs. the two cases are in no way similar...=mont974x4 said:"The ACLU is obviously engaged in religious bigotry ? in cases concerning homosexual groups, they argue that Prince fully applies, but now, when it clearly applies, using the ACLU's own standard, to a religious club, they are seeking to overturn the Prince decision," he said.
http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?nam...owpage&pid=159
again, please stop spreading lies.In July 2006, the ACLU submitted an amicus brief supporting a lower court ruling that upheld the school district’s actions. The court found that the Bible club, by forcing students to take a religious test to become voting members, discriminated against students of other religions. The ACLU pointed out that school officials were not violating any rights of the student group, because it could still meet and hold activities at school.
