It seems that once again the American Civil Liberties Union is back in form attacking harmless outfits like the Boy Scouts simply because they require their members to express belief in God. There's something to be said for an organization that focuses its most vigorous energies on destroying an American institution that has historically proven to be nothing but beneficial for this country's youth. But much like the Democratic Party, the ACLU seems to be living in a world utterly out of touch with the rest of America.
Wherever there are children who dare recite the Pledge of Allegiance in a public school, judges who think the Ten Commandments should be displayed in the halls of justice, school principals who dare recite a prayer at a commencement affair, or citizens who dare suggest that offensive sexually explicit material should be removed from the hands of sexual predators, there you will inevitably find the ACLU valiantly persevering in its culturally dissonant crusade against them, until the cautionary voices of reason are finally silenced.
