Hmmm, response to the ACLU thing. Crickets.
Well it IS pretty hard to defend the ACLU there I think.
Yesterday I heard President Obama and President Calderon, neither who has presumably read the Arizona immigration law, denounce it for the 'discrimination' it promotes. This despite the fact that it is explicitly stated in four different places in that law that discrimination/profiling etc. will not be permitted.
Yet President Obama does nothing to address problems of illegal immigration and President Calderon presumes to lecture US about discrimination?
So there's another way that the world looks very upside down to me.
It has long been my belief, that the ACLU is in reality a PR spin agency more so than actually protecting civil liberties. Sure they try and do some protecting of our rights but for the most part they only do so when it suits an agenda.
For instance, where was the outcry after the way the Obama administration has left the Patriot Act as is? it is a direct violation of a great many civil liberties yet no response from them since Bush left office... makes me wonder was it the Pat act they didn't like or who was in office?
Anyway thats my view of them..
