What is the goal of the ACLU? The breakup of America?
 

Their latest stunt:

Sex in restroom stalls is private, ACLU says

Not really the ACLU so much as the cockeyed Minnesota Supreme Court, if that ruling really, truly says what they claim.

What part of "public" in the term "public restroom" did the court justices not understand?

I don't see where you're getting the headline from.

I wonder if Craig would be commenting if it was another politician on trial :-?. The ACLU seems to defend the rights of those who oppose it's existence just as fervently as those who support it.
I can see where the basis for this ruling comes from, but also the arguments against. This quote makes it clear that the ruling is not without basis.

Click the link - it is in BIG BOLD LETTERS!!!! You can't miss it. :D

Ah, my bad. I meant the break-up of America bit.

Ahh - a little history on them and you will find where they go after morality like a vengence. They are constantly breaking at the fabric of our society. I guess if you're gay and want free sex in the streets, then you probably want them to succeed, but the rest of us don't want that.

In a free society, I guess you have to take the good and the bad, and they represent the bad at almost every turn.

I was going to post some reasoning on it, but I see Google is full and there is no need since you can easily do it yourself. I did find this humoruos though! http://stoptheaclu.com/ - seems they have their hate support groups now!

10 reasons to stop the ACLU:



10. The ACLU was founded by Communist, with communist ideals, communist goals, and they continue to impose a Communist like agenda on America daily. The founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin stated clearly…

My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment�Therefore, 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."

9. The ACLU does not believe in the Second Amendment.

ACLU POLICY �The ACLU agrees with the Supreme Court�s long-standing interpretation of the Second Amendment [as set forth in the 1939 case, U.S. v. Miller] that the individual�s right to bear arms applies only to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia. Except for lawful police and military purposes, the possession of weapons by individuals is not constitutionally protected. Therefore, there is no constitutional impediment to the regulation of firearms.�ACLU Policy #47

#8. Their outright hatred of the Boyscouts. They are currently doing everything in their power to hurt this organization. They attacked their free speech right to exclude gays, and are threatening schools, and fighting in court to get their charters shut down. The oppose the military supporting them, and will sue the pants off any school that attempts to charter them.
#7. The ACLU are pro-death. Not only is the ACLU Pro-abortion, it's the ACLU's top priority. It most definitely takes a backseat to free speech for the ACLU. As a matter of fact, the ACLU has fought against the free speech rights of those that oppose it. If its abortion or euthanasia, as long as its pro-death you can count on the ACLU to support it. The only exception to the ACLU's pro-death stance, is if it is a convicted criminal; in this case they are against death.
#6. The ACLU advocate open borders. Not only have the ACLU opposed the Minute Men, a group who are simply exercizing their freedom of speech, protesting and stepping up where the government is failing, but they have helped illegals cross the border.
#5. The ACLU is anti-Christian. The list is endless on this one. Under the guise of "seperation of Church and State", the ACLU have made a name for theirself on being rabidly anti-Christian. This is one area where they are most hypocritical. They oppose tax exemptions for all churches, but fight for them for Wiccans. They are against Christianity in school, but oddly remain silent as our children are taught to be Muslims. Whether its baby Jesus, ten commandments, or tiny crosses on county seals, the ACLU will be there to secularize America, and rewrite our history.
#4. The ACLU Opposes National Security. The ACLU have opposed almost every effort in the arena of national security. From the bird flu to bag searches, the ACLU have been against it. No matter what kind of search someone tries to do to protect people, the ACLU have proved they are against them across the board. Its kind of ironic that they don't practice the principles they preach.

Take a walk into the NYCLU�s Manhattan headquarters - which it shares with other organizations - and you�ll find a sign warning visitors that all bags are subject to search.

#3. The ACLU Defend the enemy. They have a long history of this one. They defended the P.L.O. in 1985. They defended Quadafi in the 1980's. And they continue today. They have told Gitmo detainees they have the right to remain silent, as in not talking to interrogators. One issue that really disturbs me is their refusal of funds from organizations such as the United Way that were concerned the money would be used to support terrorism.

In October of 2004, the ACLU turned down $1.15 million in funding from two of it�s most generous and loyal contributors, the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, saying new anti-terrorism restrictions demanded by the institutions make it unable to accept their funds.
�The Ford Foundation now bars recipients of its funds from engaging in any activity that �promotes violence, terrorism, bigotry, or the destruction of any state.�
The Rockefeller Foundation�s provisions state that recipients of its funds may not �directly or indirectly engage in, promote, or support other organizations or individuals who engage in or promote terrorist activity.�

#2. The ACLU supports child porn distribution and child molesters like NAMBLA.

As legislative counsel for the ACLU in 1985, Barry Lynn told the U.S. Attorney General�s Commission on Pornography (of which Focus on the Family President Dr. James C. Dobson was a member) that child pornography was protected by the First Amendment. While production of child porn could be prevented by law, he argued, its distribution could not be.

There is no doubt the The ACLU are perverting the Constitution.
#1. The ACLU fufills its agenda using my tax money. What more can I say on this one?

They always seem to play devil's advocate for just about any cause, don't they?

Basically, they try to stand up for the little guy that can't get a high-powered lawyer on his side, or stand up against big government when needed. However, lately, they've really gone in some truly odd directions.

Sex in a public restroom is against the law, and though they can make the arguement that it's "private", it's still against the law. (No, I didn't read the article, but based on the headline, that's what I'm assuming they're making the arguement on, i.e., that nasty policeman had no right to stop us from having sex in a public restroom because we had the stall door closed, making it "private"). They'll fail, of course, but that's what a devil's advocate does.

If I'm not mistaken the ACLU also supported the "Man/Boy Love" internet site and group started somewhere in the north east. Sick really.....

Yeah, talk about playing "Devil's Advocate", that one really takes the cake.

Yes, very sick indeed. The ACLU is perfectly useless.

Excellent point. Soliciting sex in public is pretty much just that. I don't see how they can win this one, but they probably will anyway.

I say blame it on the lawyers.

I'd have to say - worse than useless. Downright detrimental to the health of this country would be more accurate.
