They Just Don’t Get It.
That’s right, the ACLU just doesn’t get it. In scanning the ACLU’s news page, they illustrate that Karl Rove’s words were dead on.
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Mr. Rove said at the annual dinner of the New York State Conservative Party.
The ACLU fits that liberal label to a T. They have their knickers all in a twist over the plan to place parts of the FBI under the control of Director of National Intelligence.
The following can be attributed to Timothy H. Edgar, ACLU Policy Counsel for National Security: "Spies and cops have different roles and operate under different rules for a very important reason: to ensure that our law enforcement agencies stay within the Constitution. This proposal could erode the FBI’s law enforcement ethic and put parts of the FBI under the effective control of a spymaster who reports to the president – not the attorney general."
Perhaps they have forgotten one of the causes that led to 9/11, namely a lack of sharing between the FBI and the CIA. Putting the international pieces together with the national pieces. In no way does this errode the Constitution, nor does it turn FBI agents into spies. It gives them another route to get their information out and in the stream of Intelligence gathering, so as to potentially avoid another terrorist attack. The ACLU would prefer to live in a 9/10 world, rather then facing the facts that our world changed the following day, and that we need to change with it.
STOP THE ACLU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeh, and the really dangerous part is that the ACLU is framing all the debate; we “have” to use the terms as they have defined them! Witness the numbers of Anti-ACLU bloggers who have been so indoctrinated _by the ACLU_ that they spoke out against the Anti Flag Desecration amendment as something that would abridge First Amendment rights… because the Warrn court, pretty much at the ACLU’s bidding, created a “freedom of expression” right where none such had existed before…
Now, the ACLU pipes for us and we dance to their tune.
Thank you!
The ACLU scares me. Not as much as the sight of the faces of Hillary Clinton, Jane Fonda and Meredith Viera. No joke. All three of those women legitimately scare me. Clinton and Fonda because they’re commie nutjobs. Viera because she ruined Who Wants to Be A Millionaire.
