Patriot, I feel have to step in clarify a few things. The first is that liberals and conservatives both fly off the handle without facts to support what they say. Second, support of the ACLU does not infer any political leaning. The ACLU is dedicated to upholding the United States Constitution; a very noble calling and one that is not easy but often called upon.
I don’t know why political extremists (I seem to notice more conservative extremists on this board, but that may just be the articles I’m reading) resort to name-calling and insult-slinging, but it is unnecessary. If you can’t calmly make a rational argument with facts then you shouldn’t make the argument at all. Passion is okay, but you can have passion in a calm argument. Let your convictions show through strength of argument, not strength of insult.
Lastly, Communism has nothing to do with religion. Communism is a system of economics that ostensibly places control of the sources of wealth into the hands of the producers of that wealth and equally distributes the gains therefrom. The fact that such a system has not worked within human memory shows more about humanity than it does about the system. It is coincidental that the most famous Communist leaders have been atheists; atheism is not a requirement of Communism. Okay, so not so coincidental since most Communists follow at least some of the teachings of Karl Marx and he was an atheist. But it’s still not a requirement. You can’t tell me that Cuba has no religion, and it’s a Communist country. As a parting shot – it’s not like America is totally free of socialism either. Any industry that is regulated by the government has a hint of socialism. Welfare is socialist. Social security is a socialist idea. Medicare and Medicaid are based on socialist principles.
Your fear of ideas other than your own, your fear of the ACLU, just shows that the terrorists have won.
(parting shot was a satire of the reasoning for so many encroachments on my liberties)
here’s the problem in today’s society: NO responsibility for their own actions. they would rather cheat the system or get money. the hall of shame should have included our elected/appointed officials that did not abide by the rules and take advantage of the system to get their but in turn, it was turned against them.
1) the sheriff who’s fraud cost him only 6 months at home (should have been in jail).
2) the firefighter who burned his wife’s car.
3) the judge who tried to go to the cleaners when he got his pants lost.
there are more examples. truthfull, the society is looking for what i call free money. either fraudelant or claims against companies who have money to supposedly give away. we allow them to boggle up the court system with frivilous lawsuits. we as a society allow them, the individual not to take responsibility when they do go to court. we truly think that we have money tree in our backyard. just like the federal government when it keeps spending money by giving it to foreign government and then forgive the debt. fact is we elected officials and in many cases, re-elected them back. if we want change we have to make the first step and make it ourselves. otherwise, it will just keep going downhill. remember, that this country is not just influenced by the president but also by those in congress. they have to make a bill and pass it. this also includes your local government as well.
You see; what they don’t say in this article is what would clarify all your arguments.
The faking teacher, the glass-munching gypsy, and even the bum-killing agent were Communist Democrats with Socialist tendancies and card carrying members of the ACLU.
Another little known fact; they all lobbied for Hillary and Mitt Romney to join forces and run on the same ticket.
I think they all may have been Canadian too. If they weren’t, they definitely wanted to be.
So you see; you’re all passionately incorrect in your own way.
