Just as I was starting to feel completely overwhelmed by all the craziness going on in this country these days, a friend forwarded me a link to this posting on the blog Pharyngula. It's about an anti-evolution and anti-ACLU rant. Here's a bit of what was quoted:
Well, there's nothing like good old-fashioned ACLU-bashing to cheer me right up.(Note to all those who send us hate mail: you might be dismayed to know what a kick we get out of your emails. We circulate them to each other.)
I must confess to being confused by this part of the rant, though:
Funny, last time I checked, we sue the government. We don't generally worship there.
Today, hundreds of public institutions live in fear of an ACLU lawsuit. ACLU can be proud of this achievement. It is the single greatest agency, next to the United States government, for the repression of divergent opinion. Some might call it McCarthyism but I wouldn't disgrace the name of Joseph McCarthy by associating it with ACLU.

I must confess to being confused by this part of the rant, though:
The fervor of the hostility of the ACLU and other secularist and Leftist types smacks of the intolerance of religious fanatics that they often smirk about. They are the priests of the The Religion of Man in The Church of Government.

"We don't generally worship there"... ah, but you see...YOU SHOULD then you would have the support of the right wing and maybe even get to be featured on the 700 Club!
Looks like he's helping to get card carrying memebrs for you too...look for the 20 dollar check in the mail :-)
"Your rant against the ACLU just convinced me that I need to belong. I always considered it a weak organization for middle aged yuppies trying to atone for their lost leftist zeal, but if it still cheeses off people like you, it can't be completely useless."
"it can't be completely useless"
Wow, our heads are swelling with such praise.
Here's a witty, but not particularly substantive critique to add to the mix. From the Hagerstown, Maryland Herald News Online:
"I was just thinking that the ACLU needs A-C-L-U-E." - Glenside
