So what are we to conclude from this statement? As vile as they are, the members of NAMBLA have no rights? The Boy Scouts can utilize public resources to promote Christianity, bar those who do not swear an oath to God, and discriminate against Gays? And in a pronounced deviation from its long-standing and strict adherence to its mission to protect individuals from oppression by the majority, the ACLU has suddenly become an advocacy group for pederasty and an organization working to eliminate groups which mentor children?
As a former member of the ACLU who worked actively with my local affiliate, a zealous advocate for social justice and human rights, and a father, I feel quite confident that the American Civil Liberties Union does not harbor a secret agenda to promote child molestation or to eliminate groups which serve the interests of our children. As a former Scout I can also attest to the fact that some of the BSA's heterosexual, "Christian" leaders leave much to be desired as mentors.
Allow me to cite Deroy Murdock from the same piece Marsha West quotes:
"An old friend of mine once said this about the American Civil Liberties Union: 'They're a bunch of whale-saving, criminal-loving pinkos - and thank God for them.'
This remark nicely summarizes the ambivalence with which many people regard the ACLU."
Obviously we have reached our conclusions about the ACLU by following very different paths, Mr. Murdock, but I concur with you.
And as controversial and extreme as they may be, I thank the Higher Power for the ACLU.
