The ACLU fights itself...

“The liberosity of an organization is directly proportional to the amount of in-fighting and backstabbing within said organization.” KP Cubed Using this theorem it is possible to prove that the ACLU is 125% liberal. Story “It does something wrong, then it retracts it after it gets bad publicity, which is no way to operate,” said Anna Switzer, a longtime A.C.L.U. member from New York who said she signed onto the mission statement reluctantly. “The problem is that some of these things should never have been proposed at all.” Sounds like every liberal in office. In theory the ACLU is a good idea. However, in practice it is horrendous. It does not fight for everyone’s rights. Just for the rights of its liberal friends, even (read especially) if that tramples the rights of, well, the right. “Our programs, both legal and legislative, have never been stronger,” Ms. Whitfield said. “And then there’s the phenomenal growth of the A.C.L.U., where we’ve nearly doubled staff, our revenues are higher, membership and donations are higher, and that, to us, tell us where we are right now, in terms of our organization. We’re proud of it.” Sooooooo…..She bases the effectiveness of the organization on how much money it makes (that sounds almost like right thinking)? Shouldn’t it be on how well it stands up for what it believes in? Do they even no what they believe in any more? Or are their principles based on higher revenues, as she seems to be saying? Stop the ACLU is a great place to find out.
