Roger Baldwin, the founder of ACLU in 1935, said: "I favor socialism, disarmament and abolition of property owners. I seek public ownership of property and government control of business and industry."
The ACLU supports abortion; the ACLU supports pornography; the ACLU supports gun control; the ACLU opposes Nativity scenes on public property; the ACLU opposes a moment of silence in school for prayer; the ACLU opposes posting the Ten Commandments in schools and courtrooms.
The American Civil Liberties Union is neither American, civil nor liberty-loving.
Today, ACLU has 250,000 members, 70 staff lawyers, 5,000 volunteer lawyers, a yearly budget of $14 million and handles as many as 6,000 cases at a time.
