"...they just chose the courtroom rather than the streets to engage in their thuggery." There it is in the nutshell.

ACLU lost its legitimacy decades ago. They're the original BLM protestors, they just chose the courtroom rather than the streets to engage in their thuggery.

In my view ACLU has been mostly anti-liberty since I was growing up 50+ years ago. Certainly guns were never on the list of rights they cared about. Nor freedom of association if race was an issue.

I disagree. At one time they defended the 2nd Amendment, and property seizure. They definitely no longer defend the 2nd Amendment.

Just the title alone stopped me in my tracks - how is possible for them to loose their way when in truth, they've always been what they are today, it's just that people are paying attention now...IMHO, people really want to believe that all of a sudden these various systems have gone bad!!

After 27 years in a State Prison system I have nothing but contempt for the ACLU. The dangerous ideals they support go directly against the safety and security of the good men and women working in these very dangerous prisons.

College tuition has skyrocketed due to the ease of obtaining Federal Student loans. Why not charge a fortune when you know the student can get the money from Uncle Sam. Forgiving the loans would accelerate tuition well past anything ANY race can afford.

It is interesting that we don't see defense of vaccination and non-masks from the ACLU. They should be defending Majorie Greene.

Not following your analogy.

Civil Liberties were just until THEY took the reigns of power.

the ACLU was always a commie front organization
always

It was founded by communists.

"The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nearly 100-year-old left-leaning activism organization focused on issues related to civil liberties. During its history, the ACLU has aligned with the ideological Left, becoming a “hub of liberal activism” which declared its intent to spend $25 million attacking Republican candidates during the 2018 election cycle.[1]

Labor union activist Roger Baldwin and a group of like-minded activist colleagues founded the ACLU in 1920. The ACLU advocated for special government protections specifically for left-leaning demographic and special interest groups such as immigrants, labor unions, LGBT people, the poor, prisoners, and the severely mentally ill.[2]"

I've had run in's with these jackasses myself.

Back in the day, I had a lot of time for the ACLU.
Now, when was that? 1970s. ..

A thought
' To be kind to the cruel is to be cruel to the kind'.

You are awesome, 25n56il4 !!!

Glad to have some company. ;^)

Back in the 1980s they supported Second Amendment rights, and I was a little encouraged (as a boy). This is long gone now.

Also have American Indian ancestors, but not that recent. That is cool. Also have unusual blood type (B-, 1%), and blue eyes. Boring brown hair though, except a majority of it isn't on my head anymore ;)

Is my annoyance showing?

Okay here's the thing. We all need to claim our true heritages. For instance if you are one-quarter any minority the Govt let's you claim it, except white. Now most of us are not 100% 'white'. Think about it. All the way back from my mother her family was Ashkenasi Jew. Hitler would have wiped them out but they were too smart to be where he was doing his deed. My father was a half breed American Indian. My grandmother wasn't made a citizen of this Country until 1914, the year he was born! She was born at Paint Rock, Texas (Comanche Territory). So when you are asked your Nationality you should say ''American". There is no such thing as a 'white person'. My father's skin was Mahoghany colored (very red skin). I am an Alien. Check it out...Red Hair, Green Eyes and Type A Negative blood. Check the percentages of someone like that. Less than 3% on the blood type, and about 15%on the red hair, green eyes and combine it all = Alien! I'll bet we could upset the Apple Cart!

IMHO, somewhere along the line the American Civil Liberties Union morphed into the American Communist Liberal Union. The obsession with race and playing the race card is only one clue. I lost respect for the ACLU a long time ago.
