The whole point of free speech is not to make ideas exempt from criticism but to expose them to it.

The ACLU Chimes in on Kooiker Censure

That evil socialist pagan cabal which dares to include the words "American" and "Liberties" in its name once again reveals its true agenda for all to see.

Bill Fleming said...

Good ol' ACLU. Every once in a while, even them that hates 'em needs 'em.

Michael Sanborn said...

Who hates the ACLU? Are you implying that Kooiker hates them? That's rather like implying that he's a wing-nut, also which by now, you should know is not true.

Bill Fleming said...

Mike, why so touchy about this? I'm not implying anything about Sam. I'm just amused, much as Wayne seems to be, watching the neocons squirm when they have to acknowledge that the ACLU is not just a bunch of pinko commies. Or are you trying to tell me that conservatives are by and large card carrying members of the ACLU like I am?

Bill,

Why don't you address the points I have made (which have only scratched the surface) instead of personally attacking me and using mockery to spin this issue? Have you done research into the ACLU's 1992 policy? Have you done research into the founder's "true agenda"?

Bill Fleming said...

Sibby, if you mean research like this, yes.

But if you mean research via "Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing..." with apologies to the Bard... umm... no.

Steve Sibson said...

Bill,

Not surprised that you would continue with mockery.

Bill Fleming said...

Come on, cut to the chase, Sibby. What's your argument.

Steve Sibson said...
