If we don't stop them they will own America

By Guest: Carolyn Hileman on Sep 04, 07


They disguise themselves as a purely American group, whose sole goal is the civil liberties of American citizens and as such are funded by our government because who would want to deny funding to any organization who was for our civil liberties. However, this group is about a lot more than civil liberties for the American people as a matter of fact they have been fighting the very country they are supposed to be representing over civil liberties for people whom those liberties do not even belong. They have fought long and hard even to the extreme that it is highly unlikely they would have the time to handle a true case of civil liberties gone awry for an American citizen, the ones they claim to protect.

They have had their name attached to a myriad of cases in the past few years such as civil rights for terrorists, Standing toe to toe against our own government over whether we are allowed to use torture to gain information on suspected bomb threats and they have won they have done such a good job that the pentagon now will not deploy a ray gun to disperse crowds in Iraq which could save lives simply because they are afraid that it will be considered a torture device. They have effectively tied the hands of our military to the point that we must ask terrorists nicely if they know when the next attack will be and how many they estimate will be killed and they call themselves American.

1. After reading that ignorant screed,
One would be tempted to say "yes."

3. I would like to think
that a propensity for voilence is evidence of a lower functioning IQ but I don't know that for sure.

4. This person can't even write
"They have had their name attached to a myriad of cases in the past few years such as civil rights for terrorists, Standing toe to toe against our own government over whether we are allowed to use torture to gain information on suspected bomb threats and they have won they have done such a good job that the pentagon now will not deploy a ray gun to disperse crowds in Iraq which could save lives simply because they are afraid that it will be considered a torture device."


How about some punctuation in there?

Ray gun? What the hell is that anyway? I guess it is lost on her that the ACLU even protects HER rights.
