    Hold on a minute. Are you saying that I should send money to an organization that has lobbied for speech detailing how to seduce and murder children?

    I'm a card-carrying member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (go ahead, mod me down just because of that, I don't give a rip about karama), and some of the actions of the Bush Administration concern me. I'm all for free speech, especially the type with which I disagree, but the ACLU doesn't deserve my money if its used to defend hollow-point-deserving-freaks like those in NAMBLA.

    McCarthyism is a myth perpetuated by a liberal American media. Read about it.

    No, they blocked the 4 most objectionable nominees

    They also had no constitutional right to block those nominees. But why would they let a little thing like the Constitution get in the way of their partisan bickering?

    Ah yes... But if it was up to the liberals, you wouldn't have a gun in your house to protect you against such TYRANNY! Isn't it funny that the very people who are outraged about some esoteric courtroom bullshit are the very people who want to remove a CONSTITUTIONALLY guaranteed right. The very same people that believe a nativity scene at a public place some how translates into the government ESTABLISHING a national religion.

    It only applies if your not talking about Nazi's. I'm not sure that's true in this case. We have a concentration camp in cuba already...
