Bill of Rights' Implausible Defenders
|
An incredible deception is underway. Ultra-leftist groups with long histories of supporting totalitarianism are posing as the chief defenders of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights against the current onslaught of police-state legislation. The Establishment media, of course, are assisting these pro-Communist poseurs, led by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR).
I'm a bit unclear on this one. The claims in the opening few paragraphs sound like liberal-bashing from the far, far right, but the author then proceeds to back up those claims with some claims of evidence. I can't readily verify those claims (they are based around events in the first half of this century), but if true, it would require that we look again at the ACLU as a defender of liberty. While the ACLU has admittedly held their nose and refused to support 2nd Amendment rights, their record in other areas is impressive. This guy's credibility meter isn't that high. But I'm curious what others think. |
