The Obama administration is indistinguishable from the ACLU.

Has the ACLU started investigating the Obama administration’s discrimination against white people yet?

Quote the Idoit ACLU dude: Therefore, I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the State itself as an instrument of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. Uh, HEY Idiot ACLU dude. You need a state to enjoy life under socialism/communism...you twit.

“Like most leftists, he probably believed communism could still work if done by nice people.”

The only problem with that view is that it has never happened, and not just for communism, for any totalitarian regime.

I guess you could argue that socialism works in Europe, but they are beginning to face Margaret Thatcher’s famous observation…..”The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money”.

Personally, I believe there will be widespread and severe violence in Europe in the next couple of decades, as the native young white population realizes the trap they are in. It will be interesting to see whether the government turns on the natives, or aligns itself with recipients of the largesse. It will be really ugly and chaotic.

To be fair, Baldwin probably didn’t know any better. Liberals who went to visit Russia only met the loyal party members, and were shown Potemkin villages. This is depicted in Amity Shlaes’ book THE FORGOTTEN MAN. Some saw through that. I don’t remember if Baldwin did.

It was the show trials that made him turn against the Soviet Union. Like most leftists, he probably believed communism could still work if done by nice people. That’s an ignorant view now, but communism didn’t have enough history behind it in 1940. Besides, people believe what they want to believe.

If Roger Nash Baldwin was truly for the benefits of communism, such as equality for all and the abolition of classes within society, then how did he explain the same old abuses in the Soviet Union? Such as the party members with their dachas, private doctors, exclusive stores, and better living conditions than the average Soviet. Or were these things just bugs needing to be worked out of the system? I know it’s wrong but sometimes I wish I had the power to banish the ACLU and other similar organizations from our country. Some would call that censorship. I call it purging the evil from the land.

“If the ACLU were really what it claims and looked at this Administration , they’d find Constitutional Abuse and do something.”

Damn straight! My first thoughts exactly.

If they started in the spring of 2003 then they were late. I suspect it was sooner than that.

The Center for Constitutional Rights (a truly vile far leftist group) filed their first motion in February 2002. Whatever we may think about the ACLU, the CCR and the National Lawyers Guild are worse.

At least Baldwin purged the ACLU of communists in 1940 — although, obviously, not for long enough. It was groups like the NLG that they moved to.
