What if your neighbor "rats" you out first? Maybe you better be extra nice to people from now on.

It's going to be so sad watching the ATS membership dwindle, as outspoken members are rounded up, just leaving the paid shills and us foreigners on here
Good luck Americans, it was nice knowing y'all!

Where is the ACLU in all this???
The ACLU is on the same side as Rand Paul. They just usually don't get any publicity unless the right wing is complaining about some church/state issue.

A dig at "right wingers" and "church/state" issues all in the same breath?

So your position is the right wing DOESN'T rag on the ACLU? And that the media gives equal coverage to all ACLU issues? The former already happened on this thread.
It's not automatically a dig just because it's an accurate description.

My position is that if someone doesn't stop digging, the hole will soon be so deep you'll never see the sun ever again.
Have fun while you still can. I recommend a new shovel - the old one is about worn out. If you're gonna dig your own grave, do it with gusto!

And you've basically said nothing here.
Expanding on my point, the ACLU is on the "good" side of quite a few of the concerns repeatedly expressed on this site, yet still get ragged by those who one can only presume are influenced directly or indirectly by the bad press generated from very selective complaints usually originating from the usual suspects from certain portions of the political spectrum. Even those "conservative" legislators who get support from the ACLU on some issues frequently keep silent about it for fear of political fallout.
