The ACLU protects your rights, numbskull. Comparing them to the Taliban makes you look ignorant, at best. I suggest getting a better fitting tinfoil hat. The lasers are getting through.

[Big diff between protecting my rights and defending those of our enemies in foreign countries. I suggest that you put a tinfoil hat on just to keep your miniature brain from slipping out of your left ear. -ED]
I love it.

So sad, but true. Do think the ACLU will help me get off from a speeding ticket if I claim the Taliban made me do it?

Rant on, eddobloggo. As a member of ACLU, I can promise you that we'll always defend your right to post whatever you like. We've got your back!

[You've got it backwards. I defend your right to rant but ACLU stabs Americans in the back by defending foreign enemy combatants' rights over those of their interrogators. As a result, the calendar has gone back to 9/10/01. -ED]
Don't forget, the ACLU only fights for the rights that THEY think you should have. Look at how hard they fight to take away your Second Amendment rights!!

That was great Eddo! I always love great satire especially if it reveals the truth. Thanks again.

The best investment our government could ever make would be to pay for convention of every single ACLU lawyer in America on some remote south seas island.....and then turn all the Guantanamo prisoners loose on the island with "weapons of mess destruction. Oops, excuse me, I meant "mass destruction". Must've been a Freudian slip. It would be a fun exercise to test just how deep the ACLU's belief in the rights of terrorists runs. Some of those shyster lawyers might change their minds about who has what rights. If we lost any, or all, of the ACLU lawyers, most of The Nations media would publish the event under the heading of "CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS".

EDDO, I am not gonna ask what you were drinking...but maybe you should keep drinking it! I especially like some of the comments on the bottom of your blog pages. Good stuff!

ACLU, does that stand for Atheists, Communists, Liberals and the Undocumented?

Just don't let them get the DNA on the water bottle or the wrapper they take back, with evidence like that you are doomed regardless of the charges brought against you.

Amusing piece eddo!
This reminded me of something Ann Coulter wrote about the tendency for Gitmo prisoners to gain weight while there. A veteran prisoner tells a new Gitmo prisoner "If you think Allah is great, wait 'til you try our dinner rolls."

I am still a fan of General 'Black Jack' Pershing and what he did in the Philippines, but we have moved into this new touchy-feely paradigm of waging war...

Gone are the days that I remember in which Americans frowned on those who burned cars in the streets, broke windows of retail stores while stealing the merchandize inside, beat on lookers who disagreed with them for now those are the same people who now run Washington…………Van Jones comes to mind! Who is now being honored by his fellow thugs! I think it’s time we all dusted off the book “1984” and read it again!

Lets' confer rights on everybody, illegals, murderous terrorists, everybody except for taxpaying citizens. We get the shaft on a daily basis.

Going the extra mile to
make our enemies into friends. Nothing bad

these people will never consider us anything but
their enemies so it doesn't make a bit of sense
to treat them as though they are our friends,
let alone our fellow citizens. -ED]
Good Saturday morning

In its own words, The ACLU seeks to defend and extend individual freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. They lie! The Bill of Rights includes the Second Amendment for the right to bear arms but not once in their existence has the ACLU ever done so! Hypocrites all!

Hopefully that window slams shut after 2012. With any luck at all it'll be Pakistan catching all the crooks, not America.

[As the administration pats itself on the back for its non-enhanced, fully-Mirandized approach to captured Taliban, the Pakistanis do the heavy lifting prior to turning enemy combatants over to US personnel. Thank goodness rendition is alive and well, but don't ever expect our hypocritical administration and the slobbering media to ever let the true story leak. -ED]
