ACLU MUST LOSE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS
Gordon Bishop On The Issues
The American Civil Liberties Union is destroying Americafs culture and Constitution, while the federal government allows it to operate as a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization.
Itfs time the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revokes the ACLUfs free ride on the working backs of Americafs taxpayers.
The ACLU no longer represents the best interests in America, but the worst interests, from pedophiles and sex offenders, to Marxists and Communists.
The ACLU has become an ugly destructive force undermining the greatest nation civilization has ever known.
The ACLU is an insult to a nation founded on faith, freedom and opportunity. Instead of reflecting the glories of America, he ACLU now stands for the American Criminal Liberties Union because it represents more criminals than innocent, law-abiding citizens of America.
The best and fastest way to abolish the ACLU is to strip it of its tax-exempt status. That can be done with a stroke of the pen by the IRS commissioner. We need to put pressure on the IRS to make sure that all charitable organizations are in the public interests -- not the political interests of a group of socialist-Marxist lawyers suing innocent citizens, or suing local, state and federal governments -- and challenging the U.S. Constitution, which upholds the grule of law.h
The ACLU creates its own lawsuits to undermine the Constitution, the foundation of our 229-year-old Republic.
Whatfs more important? Our sacred Constitution, or a perverted organization defending the worst elements of our free society?

Old Europe and the U.S.: Its about that time
By Gary Schneider
America, for too long now, has been subject to the reflexive and unthinking old-European past-time of abuse, blind recalcitrance and blatant expressions of ill-will toward the United States and her people. This frequent stench of blathering hatred regularly drifts from across the Atlantic to U.S. shores from those who, at one point in time, were deemed to be American allies or even friends; Yet, like a blindly loyal puppy, the United States has ignored the affronts and, with panting tongue and wagging tail, come back for more with the guarded hope that such one sided allegiance would eventually be reciprocated or at least not wantonly debased. However, seasons do indeed change in the partnership of nations whereby anachronistic alliances must necessarily die, despite lingering feelings of nostalgia that unreasonably prolong them.
The two prevailing anti-American themes we're hearing in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina are sadly not new. Resentment of America's material success and stature as the world's preeminent symbol of Democracy and Capitalism have for decades now given cause to the radical left to engage in ad hominem and sophomoric vilification of her every move. What is new, however, is the heightened degree of the attacks and, more importantly, the broadened appeal and subsequent institutionalization of these sentiments throughout the media and the halls of government. So, what was once largely just fringe pap has now been elevated to mainstream news and opinion.
A number of the less intellectually honest among us would suggest the notion that The United States, and President Bush in particular, have somehow earned the disdain of our European partners. Rather, I submit that the cause is Europe's wholesale disregard of the fundamental tenets that have historically bound us together. This estrangement has been promulgated by the far left element in Europe which has attained near complete control of its cultural centers and subsequently dictate popular sentiment. The net result is a near continental group-think devoid of the sufficient ideological counterbalance necessary to provide context and gauge reason there.
Bouncing back after Katrina
By Felicia (Fee) Benamon
If there is anything I've learned from Katrina is that when it comes down to it, when faced with a disaster or hit on our nation, we are not Democrats or Republicans, but Americans helping each other. I was on a warpath to play the blame game like I've seen play out in the political arena. At this time, what good will it do? I've watched TV footage from the past week of such devastation, and finger pointing, witnessing such raw emotion. It all seems chaotic, and I don't want to add to that.
Instead, I want to uplift at a time such as this. America sure
has had her share of battles to deal with. But each time, we
spring back, and are even more resilient than before. And I fully
believe that the victims of Hurricane Katrina will come out of
this struggle and tragedy with a better quality of life. So many
caring people have stepped in to help...local states have
donated shelters, local churches stepping up to donate and
offer shelter, ordinary Americans opening their homes,
organizing relief drives, and donating where they can, etc.
There has been a tremendous effort to make sure Katrina
evacuees have what they need. In my area in Tennessee,
employers are offering jobs to evacuees so that they can
immediately get back to some sense of normalcy and get
back on their feet. Evacuees are even getting free beauty
treatments at the local barber and beauty shops! At the
college game...University of Memphis and Ole Miss, donations were taken up for Hurricane relief. I am glad to see so many cities willing to do all they can to make sure that evacuees are well cared for. The children, going back to school. This shows the heart of America. We are to take care of each other.
So to Katrina evacuees, we are here for you in every way. Don't despair or look back on a life you once lived. Because there are many people in this country who care and are willing to help you succeed after the storm.
