Defending Freedom – Or Terrorists? The ACLU’s Greatest Hits
by John Stephenson
You’ve got to give it to the ACLU. It has run one of the most effective PR machines in America for nearly a century. Founded by a communist subversive, today’s ACLU has honored its founder’s vision by carrying the torch as the nation’s pro bono Fifth Column.
The ACLU is the most unpopular organization in America, but that hasn’t translated into its demise. The ACLU not only maintains a mega-million-dollar support base and an army of Useful Idiots, but, maddeningly, is still viewed as respectable in many elite circles. Even so, every time the ACLU acts according to its seditious nature, my hope is renewed that all Americans will shake themselves awake, recognizing that the image of the ACLU as a “defender of freedom” is a carefully cultivated deception. But I’m not sure what it’s going to take. The evidence against the ACLU is already decisive – given a chance, the ACLU never fails to take the side of the enemy, especially since September 11.
A small sampling of the ACLU greatest hits:
Want to put New York City commuters and tourists at risk by suing to halt perfectly constitutional, common sense policies? The ACLU does.
Want to cripple America’s intelligence gathering capability? Want overseas terror suspects to be able to communicate freely with contacts in the United States? You’ve got a friend in the ACLU…even if you have never been subject to surveillance!
The ACLU has launched an initiative called the “John Adams Project.” The unmitigated gall in defaming one of history’s greatest Americans seems suspiciously flavored by the recent success of the HBO Adams miniseries. Yes, the PR machine hums along, no matter how laughable a stretch it is for the ACLU to link itself with great men. What is it? In a nutshell, the ACLU has assembled a “Dream Team” of attorneys with an $8.5 million budget to defend terrorists currently held at Guantanamo. Who’s the primary object of the ACLU’s affection? Khalid Sheik Mohammed.
