Product Description

As a result of the work of the American Civil Liberties Union and their war on America, we now live in a country where the church has been progressively silenced, parental authority has been undermined, children are less safe, and human life continues to be cheapened-both at birth and death. While the ACLU and its allies in the media have positioned themselves as the great defenders of freedom, they are in reality eliminating the freedoms of millions of Americans. Sadly, most Americans are unaware of the extreme positions of the ACLU.

But there is hope. Many Americans are waking up to the dangerous agenda of the ACLU. The ACLUvs. America will clue readers in to the culture wars afoot and will equip them to become effective agents for liberty and freedom against the ACLU's onslaught.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Biggest Threat To American Freedom Exposed, September 7, 2005

By	RaiderXL - See all my reviews

The American Civil Liberties Union has cloaked itself in the garb of patriotism and has been successful in that campaign of deception for nearly a century. This book lays waste to several popular myths about this dangerous, anti-democratic organization. The first and most enduring myth, that ACLU started out as an admirable group of patriots that has taken a wrong turn in recent years, is thoroughly discredited by Sears and Osten. In fact, the ACLU was established for the explicit purpose of toppling the republic as established by our Founders. This is not mere conjecture, but convincingly affirmed by the words of none other than the ACLU's own founder Roger Baldwin on subjects such as marriage, liberty and his ideas of governance ("Communism is the goal.") The apple has not fallen from the tree at all. The ACLU's current leadership has honored Baldwin's vision. The current ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero illustrates this perfectly saying, "It is clear that we can no longer count on the Constitution alone to protect fundamental freedoms in the United States." ACLU President Nadine Strossen is actually ON RECORD as supporting polygamy and all forms of pornography (within the prism of "women's rights" - huh?). What is clear is that ACLU continues its audacious assault on the law and culture despite continuing attempts at attractive PR packaging.

This only scratches the surface. Sears and Osten peel away the ACLU's agenda an issue at a time and demonstrate how frighteningly anti-American, anti-family, anti-children, anti-marriage, anti-religion/religious expression and anti-Christmas this dark organization really is. From its defense of the child-rape promoting North American Man-Boy Love Association (while working feverishly to shut down the Boy Scouts) to its search and destroy mission to eliminate ANY public acknowledgement of our religious heritage (even on memorials to war heroes), the ACLU's impact on American society can only be measured on a scale of extreme intolerance.

This exhaustively documented work, heavily-laden with references to the ACLU's own words, deeds, policy manuals and legal briefs will shake the faith of even the most loyal "card-carrying" member of the ACLU if read objectively and dispassionately.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, August 30, 2005

By	James - See all my reviews

This book is fantastic. Alan Sears and Craig Osten expose the ACLU and its un-American track record. It's clear that this book was researched meticulously - every assertion is backed up with evidence, often straight from the mouth of ACLU leadership, press releases, or court documents. The biggest surprise was learning more about the origins of the ACLU - it was not an organization that started with good intentions and just "got off track." Roger Baldwin, the ACLU's founder, was an agnostic and socialist who demonstrated Communist leanings and founded the ACLU to systematically undermine the freedoms of millions of Americans. This book has given me the tools to provide accurate information about the ACLU's agenda for America. A must read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars America's Most Dangerous Enemy: The ACLU, September 8, 2005

By	Thomas J. Morr TTEE (Williamsburg VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Alan Sears and Craig Osten have carefully and thoroughly documented the origins, the history, the objectives, the goals, tactics and strategies of the ACLU. One cannot escape the conclusion that the ACLU presents a far more clear and present danger to American society than does El Quaeda. The ACLU has systematically tried to destroy the fabric of America's judeo-christian values and morality and transform our nation into an atheistic, socialistic society similar to what is found in Europe. They have operated virtually unopposed until the organization Alan Sears leads was established and began to confront and confound their efforts. The Alliance Defense Fund is our best hope for leading the battle and winning back our first and most fundamental right in this country: our freedom of religious expression.
