Yes, some folks in the ACLU are morons and they need to pick their cases better but someone has to keep the psychotic right wing holy rollers from sticking their noses in to our bedrooms (more than one conservative has questioned a right to birth control as not being explicitly laid out in the constitution) and business whenever they want to. What was it Ben Franklin said..if you are willing to trade security for freedom you don't deserve either one..or something like that. Point being, if all of the extremists would shut the fuck up and leave people alone, we'd all be a lot better off.
Clinton esculated the spending on the war on drugs by a higher percentage than the right wingers ever have. Had to like that dude though, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" CLASSIC!!! And the bitch saved the Presidential dress...gotta love it...he was a soap opera in the making! :thumbsup:
