I have agreed and disagreed with the ACLU many times over the years, but I always thought that they were fighting the good fight and defending the constitution.

They are fighting for things now that are blatantly anti-constitution and it's not even debateable.

They have been co-opted by the militant left-wing and have thrown out even the guise of fighting for our constitution.

What happened? The same thing that happens to all organizations that get overtaken by leftist agendas. They abandon reason.

FY 2016: Grants and Contributions: $106,628,381
FY 2017 (Post-Trump): Grants and Contributions: $274,104,575

Follow the money. Pandering to rich liberals has paid off in spades.

The ACLU was always satanic, imo.

Its leadership got taken over my progressive academics more interested in pushing a social agenda than protecting liberties common to all Americans.

The recent internal debates surrounding the defense of controversial speech is alarming.

From there response to recent critiscm

quote:

Nonetheless, it seemed clear to us that guidelines would help ACLU affiliates and national staff in considering cases that might pose conflicts between our values. We are a multi-issue organization, and some cases may present conflicts, such as between gay rights and religious freedom, privacy and women’s rights, or speech rights and equality. The guidelines, which have been distributed to all ACLU staff members, are explicitly designed to help affiliates and national staff think through various factors in case selection decisions.


Do they really think we cant see the bullshite within.

This is what happened to the ACLU. They abandoned American ideals for a leftist agenda.

Nothing. Their mask is coming off. They always had a communist orientation.


ACLU founder Roger Baldwin's candid vision:

I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.

Agreed, I was lukewarm to the ACLU but over the past 2-3 years they've really engulfed by progressive bullshite.

Thankfully I've never supported them financially.

Yea, I don't give to political organizations of any sort, so that was not an option for me.

However, even when I disagreed I could see where they were coming from.

I used to be a huge fan of the ACLU. I thought they were a Libertarian Institute similar to the Cato Institute.

They haven't been that way for a very long time.
