[size=3]The aclu does need to have its wings clipped more than just a little.[/size]
[size=3]What's especially intriguing about this proposed bill to limit legal fees in establishment cases is that it was drafted by Rees Lloyd, former aclu staff attorney, who now opposes them! It would appear that at some point during his employment with the aclu, Lloyd saw the light. Wonder what his beef was.[/size]
[size=3]Lloyd now represents the American Legion in the Mojave veterans memorial case, where the aclu sued to have a cross monument removed.[/size]
[size=3][QUOTE] {Excerpted}[/size][color=black][size=3]These lawsuits are nationwide, coast to coast, and run literally into millions of dollars in the pockets of the ACLU in "attorney fee awards" - although in fact neither the ACLU nor its mascot plaintiffs have incurred any actual attorney fees. [/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]It has to be recognized that the ACLU's mission is political. It is an organization of elitists convinced of their sincerity, goodness, intelligence and right to social-engineer American culture and government without ever having to be elected by the people they would govern, and to accomplish their purpose through people like themselves: equally elitist lawyers sitting as judges over mere mortals.[/size] [size=3] [/size] [/color][size=3]What common sense would dictate a lawsuit against that lone cross in the Mojave Desert honoring World War I veterans? And persecuting the Boy Scouts? The philosopher [color=black]George Santyana once said, "Fanaticism is the doubling of passion, while halving reason." There you have modern ACLU fanaticism. [/color][/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]The Boy Scouts are not the enemy of America. Veterans and memorials that mark their service to the nation are not the enemies of America. Symbols of our American religious history and heritage in the public square are not threats to our American freedom. [color=blue]Those symbols which the ACLU now so fanatically attacks are but reminders of our American roots, our American heritage, the foundation from which this magnificent edifice of American freedom arose. [/color][color=blue][/color][/size] [size=3][color=blue][/color][/size] [size=3][color=blue]The ACLU is much too politically correct to ever be expressly or rhetorically anti-Christian. It would react with horror to the suggestion that it is impure. [/color][color=black][color=blue]But it is objectively anti-Christian. It is indicted by what it does, not by what it says....[/color][/color] [/size][size=3] [/size][url="http://www.legion.org/includes/prin...=pub_mag_values"][size=3][color=#f07005]http://www.legion.org/includes/prin...=pub_mag_values[/color][/size][/url] [/QUOTE]
[size=3]It's also heartening that citizen groups are lobbing for limitations on standing required to bring these establishment cases. How hypocritical for the aclu to bilk taxpayers for these fees![/size]

Your post reminded me of another acronym with "Confederate" in it, but one that's unfortunately disappeared. When the "Confederate Air Force" became the "Commemorative Air Force" I about blew chunks.
.308 would probably get the job done, but I can see you want to make sure your shot counts.

Where have I been! Oh, and .308 is a lovely choice. :smoke:

Yeah, they're out of Midland now. Read it and weep.

I find the 168 BTHP in .308 is nice, but 30-06 can handle the big 220s and such.
