Anti-ACLU Rant of the Week 4/14/05
Once again,..giving time over to Jay777 and the Anti-ACLU Blog:
Let me make one thing perfectly clear. While
Roger
Baldwin, the founder of the ACLU, had strong Communist ties and
even declared it as his ultimate goal, he was never actually a member
of the Communist party.
Unfortunately, the same can not be said about those who joined him to
form the organization. His first Board of Directors were Elizabeth
Gurly Flynn and William Z.
Foster, both of whom would later head the Communist Party in
America.
Baldwin was very open about his goals, unlike many of today's ACLU
leaders. They try to rewrite Baldwin's history as a simple
"flirtation" with Communism that only lasted a brief period.
However, Roger grew up in a family of radicals and socialists, and at
the ripe age of fifty he said, "I am for socialism, disarmament,
and ultimately for abolishing the State itself as an instrument for
violence and compulsion. I seek the social ownership of property, the
abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who
produce wealth. Communism is the goal."
He made his first trip to Russia in 1923. After returning, in his book
Liberty Under the Soviets, Roger admitted that their government had
instituted "complete censorship of all means of communications and
the complete supression of any organized opposition to the
dictatorship or its program."
So, did this supposed champion of civil liberties condemn these
actions? Not at all!
He said, "Repression in Western democracies are violations of
proffessed constitutional liberties and I condemn them as such.
Repressions in Soviet Russia are weapons of struggle in a transition
period to Socialsim."
In 1934, Baldwin wrote in the Soviet Russia
Today,"When that power of the working class is once
achieved, as it has been only in the Soviet Union, I am for
maintaining it by any means whatever."
The ACLU reflected this attitude. Of the ACLU Board members elected
during its first sixty years, almost eighty percent had Communist
affiliations. Ninety percent of its cases involved defending
Communists.
As a result, it was labeled a "Communist-Front", and came under the
investigation of the House Un-American Activities Committee.
On August 20, 1939 Roger was betrayed by his greatest hero, Josef
Stalin. Stalin signed a non-aggression pact with Adolf Hitler.
In 1940, the ACLU felt a need to distance itself from the Communist
Party, at least in public perception. In what is known as the 1940
Resolution, the ACLU Board declared it "inappropriate for any
person to serve on the governing committees of the Union or its Staff,
who is a member of any political organization which supports
totalitarian dictatorship in any country, or who by his public
declarations indicates his support of such a principle."Source
This was very unfortunate for Elizabeth Gurly Flynn, who was a member
of the Communist Party at the time of the 1940 Resolution.
It would be nice if this were the end of the story, however by the
mid-1960's the ACLU no longer felt the need to seperate itself from
Communism. So, in 1967, the board voted to effectively rescind the
1940 Resolution and welcomed communists back into the Union. They
later rescinded Flynn's purge, and elevated her to "hero" status.
They came under investigation again and were debated in Congress in
1961.Source
Despite all the the denials to the contrary, the evidence is
overwhelming that the ACLU is still working toward the end goal of
Communism.
William Kunstler, as a member of the National Advisory Counsel stated,
"I am a double agent, working within the system to bring down the
system."
Just study it's policies and case history and it is obvious they still
seek Communist and socialist goals.
Unfortunatley, many Americans are still fooled, and hold the members
of this organization as heros. In 1981, Jimmy Carter awarded
Roger Baldwin the Medal of Freedom-the nation's highest
civilian honor.Source
Help us wake America up to the goals of the ACLU! We are trying to
raise money to help expose the ACLU through advertisments and
commercials. It is very expensive. Please help us with what you can.
Visit our Bulldoze
The ACLU Store, and buy a bumper sticker. Every little bit helps.

Great Post... I would say that I would join the ring, but I have done so many damn posts on the evils of the ACLU that I can barely stand to think about it anymore...gets my blood pressure up and all that...
What would this entail? ;)
Ala,...e-mail Jay,..his e-mail addy is about halfway through this post
Thanks man! Hope to see you at the chat tonight!
The ACLU is never interested in being fair nor just. It only uses the legal system to promo its agenda.
Too bad there will never be a Federal prosecutor with the balls to go after them for sedition.
You're right, Vulture. You will never find a fed prosecutor to go after the ACLU. They are, despite any political differences, still a member of the same club - comprised of not only the judges and lawyersbut, in many cases, law enforcement officials.
In-fighting is one thing in the judiciary... but an assault from outsiders? Never. They will circle the wagons, as they are doing now.
