At the Moderate Voice today a little gratuitous piling on the ACLU in my judgment. There are plenty of cheerleaders for the Administration and for a super tough approach towards suspected terrorists. There are not that many effective public bodies which aggressively protect our freedoms. Our system and our freedoms depend on having an ACLU to push back against the government, which, after all, wants it all. It has always been governments which have sought to deny people their freedom and only a watchful people can ensure that the government is restrained. Does anyone doubt for a minute that our Founding Fathers would agree with this completely? Particularly finding out today that a possibly innocent man was gunned down in London (and everyone I mentioned the shooting to yesterday responded 'About time'), I am more thankful for the ACLU than ever. No harm at all will come from their watching out for us. Let everyone else do the cheerleading. http://www.themoderatevoice.com/
