The ACLU tries <a href="">to</a> <a href="">be</a> <a href="">balanced</a> , but considering the amount of effort they have put forth to inhibit Christian influence from/to the government, should a Christian lawyer work for them?,2004:site.38163 Mon, 27 Dec 2004 14:22:55 -0800 urlnotfound Write 500 times: Skools in Louisiana suk <a href=";c=104">'Gay' Is Not a Dirty Word.</a> The ACLU is outing a Louisiana Elementary school which punished a second grader for using the word "gay" when answering a classmate's question about his family. Not only did the teacher freak, sending little Marcus to the principal's office for using a "bad word", but the school made Marcus go to a behavioral clinic the following week and repeatedly write “I will never use the word ‘gay’ in school again.” Great use of a teachable moment for all.

Up to 8 percent of passengers who board flights will be coded "yellow" and pulled for additional screening. An estimated 1 to 2 percent will be labeled "red" and will be prohibited from boarding. These passengers also will face police questioning and may be arrested. <b><i>[More Inside....]</i></b>,2003:site.28170 Tue, 09 Sep 2003 11:01:12 -0800 Dunvegan No more Scarlet Letter! <a href="">Is this your fetus? Are you the one I slept with?</a> Remember when we discussed <a href="">this </a>before? Florida has now been forced by 4 plaintiffs and the <a href="">ACLU </a>to repeal the so-called Scarlet Letter law that forces women who are pregnant and giving children up for adoption to take out an ad local papers once a week for 4 weeks, stating her name and her sexual history in the last year, to let men know if they *might* be the father. <a href="">Here </a>is the ACLU legal brief.

Now, I like Falwell about as much as the rest of you, but he may have a case. To give the ACLU their due, they always stand by their principles regardless of whose rights are being violated and whose political sensibilitie it might offend. I hope however, this will keep ol' Jerry from villifying the group in his sermons from here on out.,2001:site.12729 Thu, 29 Nov 2001 10:43:25 -0800 jonmc The ACLU has been taken over by psychopathic haters in Hawaii. <a href="">The ACLU has been taken over by psychopathic haters in Hawaii.</a> The First Amendment Conference subcommittee of the state board had planned to invite Clarence Thomas to a public debate with ACLU national president Nadine Strossen, as part of a regular series of such debates that has included many big-name conservatives, including Antonin Scalia. But when certain members of the main state board found out, they flew into a rage and demanded the invitation be recinded. Just SOME of the reasons why these three ACLU board members members, all black, are refusing to allow Thomas to participate (note that these are all direct quotes, publicly stated by state ACLU board members): He is an an Anti-Christ. He is an Uncle Tom. He is an asshole. He is a Hitler. He is a Goebbels. And worst of all, he <b>married a white girl</b>.
