tvashtarkatena Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) The ACLU was founded in the 1920s by Roger Baldwin and Crystal Eastman, described as a "progressive" and "the perfect feminist." Â Â Earl Browder was general secretary of the Communist Party of the United States from 1930 through its dissolution in 1944. When the party was reconstituted as the Communist Political Association later that year, Browder was chosen as its president. Browder proudly proclaimed that the ACLU functioned as "a transmission belt" for the party. To deny the ACLU's founding was attached at the hip to communist organizations is to deny what can easily be proven as truth. Â This bit of ancient history is often dusted off and hauled out of the attic by those attracted to conspiracy websites as proof that the ACLU is somehow behind a communist conspiracy. Â The ACLU was originally founded in 1920 to get unfairly imprisoned labor organizers out of jail for trying to organize the labor movement (the benefits of which, including the 40 hour/5 day work week) even Seahawks enjoys). Many of these labor organizers were members of the IWW and domestic communist party (no news here, plus, is there something wrong with that in a country where political freedom is protected?) In 1940, however, the ACLU passed a resolution to free itself from any party affiliations, including its formers ties with the Communist Party. It remains a non partisan organization to this day, which means it does not endorse candidate or contribute to individual campaigns. Furthermore, it's often overlooked that the ACLU membership, about 400,000 now, includes many tens of thousands of conservatives, in addition to others across the political spectrum, as members. Â Now, if there are IRS and Justice Department attorneys who are 'card carrying members of the ACLU', I suppose that would constitute a massive conspiracy, would it not? But what if they were also members of the Sierra Club? And Costco? And...? Â Edited December 18, 2007 by tvashtarkatena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirwoofalot Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 OOPS! reading comprehension problem. yeah screw the boyscouts.  On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country.

tvashtarkatena Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Seahawks - how do explain their list of cases defending Christian rights? Do they take these cases to help with the vast conspiracy cover-up?  ACLU has sued to; Halt the singing of Christmas Carols in public facilities. Deny tax -exempt status for Churches. Remove all military chaplains. Remove all Christian symbols from public property. Prohibit Bible reading in classrooms even during free time. Remove In God We Trust from our coins. Remove God from the Pledge of Allegiance Deny federal funding for Boy Scouts until they admit gays and atheists  Hate to break it to you, there, SH, but to be credible it it helps to cite the court cases for each issue. Now get your lazy ass out there and do your homework for once, sport. Otherwise, you could just be quoting this from a Christian propoganda website put up by some unaborted Down's syndrome case.

tvashtarkatena Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 the boy scouts are a private organization right? no problem w/them having their own standards. i did have my son join the scouts b/c of their beliefs. they make a choice. i made a choice. nothing wrong w/that.

Sorry, buddy, it's a separation of church and state issue, and the Boy Scouts are an unapologetically religious organization. It's the Boy Scout's choice to be so, thus making themselves uneligible for federal dough, so blame them.

tvashtarkatena Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) Â Â I think Boy Scouts will not admit gays leaders. Â Correction: The boy scouts will not admit gay boy scouts, either. Â Full disclosure: the Boy Scouts first got me out of the house and into the mountains. I owe that organization a life long debt of gratitude.
