Read the powers the Constitution authorizes to the government.
Here's a hint:  if it ain't in that document, then the government
isn't allowed to do it.  I know.  I know.  That's radical.  Clinton
even said it was a radical document, but that's the way the Founding

Write your reply.

assistant: A lawyer dies and goes to Heaven.  St. Peter meets him at the gate very
happy to see him, and tells him he will be glad to show him his new home.
As they are going through heaven to the lawyers new home St, Peter gives him
the big tour.
"Over here we have the home of Pope John Paul the 1st, and there is the home
of Pope John the 2nd, and over there is some of the other Popes"
The lawyer notices that these homes were very small two bedroom apartments.
In a few minutes they are on the other side of Heaven where huge 20 and 30
story mansions are, and then they arrive at one of the biggest in the whole
neighborhood.
"Well here we are St. Peter exclaimed, your new home!"
The laywer looked up and up and up.  It was over 100 stories tall, and with
several squadrons of angels flying in formation around the higher portions.
The lawyer could hardly believe what he was seeing, he couldn't even move.
St. Peter gave him a nudge.
"Come on it is going to take over three months for me just to show you
around your new home, so lets get started."
The lawyer in awe still couldn't move.  St. Peter put his hand on his
shoulder and asked; "Is there something wrong"?
The lawyer spoke, "I don't under stand it is so big, and the ones for the
Popes were so small."
"OhhHH!!", Said St. Peter, "You see Popes are a dime a dozen around here,
but you see, we don't get many of your kind up here."

assistant: Quoting Larry Gault to Chuck Horn:
I seem to recall from an ACLU Q&A paper that they support the
"militia" interpretation of the Second Amendment.  Since they don't
consider RKBA to be a Constitutional right it doesn't fit into
their mission.  I don't agree with them, but like the other
Limbaugh Echo prohibited issues there is room for disagreement even
among conservatives.  I don't think they've published an opinion on
the Third Amendment either. :)
Perhaps I didn't express myself well.  The ACLU is univerally
villified by conservatives.  They are also villified by many
liberals for their work defending the Klan and others on the far
right fringe.  It seems to me that when they work for individual
freedoms and protection of the individual from unwarranted
interference by the State that they are embracing conservative
values.  When they fight for the rights of the scummiest of the
scum they're helping to preserve rights for decent folks, too.
I have no doubt that most of their staff and most of their members
are liberals.  That doesn't negate the good that they do.  Heck, I
read this past week that one of my Republican Senators, Phil Gramm,
votes with the ACLU position 25% of the time.

Write your reply.

assistant: Quoting David Hartung to Chuck Horn:
I would suggest that if any of us were to read a list of cases that
the ACLU has defended over the years that we would agree with their
position on some and disagree with others.  I would further suggest
that we might agree with them on cases from 30 and 40 years ago
that we might not have agreed with at the time.
I guess if I have a point to make it is that, of the pantheon of
liberal organizations, I consider the ACLU to be one of the least
objectionable.  Most conservatives I know have the opposite opinion.
What bothers me is that their opposition seems to be an irrational,
almost visceral, loathing of a group that occasionally seems to be
doing our job better than we are.  I am not a member of the ACLU.
An organization which I AM a member of and which is dedicated to
preserving personal freedoms elicits an identical response from the
left.  Ask a liberal why they hate the NRA and you get a list of
baseless generalizations and outright misconceptions.  Might it be
that conservatives make the same mistake when judging the ACLU?
