    The ACLU thinks that taking money from people to support goals they like is ok, but if you take money from people to support goals the do not like it is wrong.

    The ACLU is about as objective as Bush is. Hell, the don't believe in the RKBA/2nd adm. becuase they see it as a 'collective' right. Its the only right in the bill of rights that they see that way, funny how that works.

    In one case the ACLU says that people can be forced to pay out of their taxes for things they do not support. But on an issue the ACLU doesn't like it is suddenly wrong to force others to pay taxes for things they do not support.

    I am not comparing those two issues, I am comparing what the ACLU says on those issues.

    In one case the ACLU says that people can be forced to pay out of their taxes for things they do not support. But on an issue the ACLU doesn't like it is suddenly wrong to force others to pay taxes for things they do not support.

    That isn't consistant, is it?

  15. The ACLU isn't sane. on Part Of The Patriot Act Shot Down · · Score: -1, Troll

    What follows is from another site but it shows the ACLU isn't as consistant as some say they are.

    Quoted text follows.

    Explaining their support for taxpayer-funded abortions, they say this:

    http://www.aclu.org/ReproductiveRights/Reproductiv eRights.cfm?ID=9039&c=146

    What about those who are morally or religiously opposed to abortion?

    Our tax dollars fund many programs that individual people oppose. For example, those who oppose war on moral or religious grounds pay taxes that are applied to military programs. The congressional bans on abortion funding impose a particular religious or moral viewpoint on those women who rely on government-funded health care. Providing funding for abortion does not encourage or compel women to have abortions, but denying funding compels many women to carry their pregnancies to term. Nondiscriminatory funding would simply place the profoundly personal decision about how to treat a pregnancy back where it belongs -- in the hands of the woman who must live with the consequences of that decision.

    Yet when they describe their opposition to school vouchers, they say this:

    http://www.aclu.org/ReligiousLiberty/ReligiousLibe rty.cfm?ID=10778&c=140

    School voucher schemes would force all taxpayers to support religious beliefs and practices with which they may strongly disagree.
