One would have to be blind not to know that the ACLU only protects things that are anti American and those who are not christian.

as much as I hate most of the organizations you cited, that the ACLU might have stood up for, the underlying principle is very simple.

you and I can't be the ones deciding which groups are free to speak and which aren't.

once any person or groups of persons is given the authority to make those choices, then you never know who is going to be deprived of their rights.

so as much as i hate the nazis and the klan and the man-boy lovers and all the rest, if they are denied the right to speak, the next group denied could be the christians or the artists or the farmers or the vegetarians or the republicans or any other group.

so we gotta let the people we don't like express their views or soon we won't be able to express ours.

its really simple and its work for america for a couple of hundred years and nobody has come up with a better document than the constitution.

The ACLU is the most dangerous organization in the history of America.

I guess I wonder even about the need to plan everything AHEAD -- permits, schedules, estimated numbers, etc. What if a group of friends just decided, spur of the moment, to use the Square in Lancaster to hold up peace signs, light candles, speak, or <gasp> pray? Isn't that what the Constitution guarantees us? I know the city prefers otherwise, but aren't our rights our rights, and didn't one of the signers say, As long as we can hold on to them!
