ah yes the old bubble life........*sigh*
..........I think the very fear mongering some accuse bush of regarding the wot ect. is evident here in just another intellectual ( I hesitate to use that word when speaking of the aclu but I''ll try) venue.

The bushshit after 2000 and the supposed rip off of the election, then 911 then the inordinate horror of it all , librarians being frisked etc. of pat. act, did it for them. I’d say that was an effective propaganda campaign that the aclu could not have thought up on their own, but are the clear beneficiaries of.
I wonder who did? Or better yet, who created these as viable points of protest as they were framed and made sure they were creamed from the rooftops??

And of course the irony here is; there IS an ACLU and it does what it does unencumbered and unsilenced…….
