No Jane, it only seems that way because you don’t know much about the ACLU. The comment you used fits your bias, not the facts.

Call them up and ask them about the Whites they have represented, that ever includes El Rushbo. I asked them for a list a while back of all the Christians they had represented who’s rights had been violated and I received two very long list.

You can get that information from them and then share it at your next Klan meeting.

Please consider we have millions of visitors to the USA every year who pay taxes during their visits and they don’t get to vote. They aren’t citizens of this country.

Millions of Americans go to Florida every year who pay taxes during their visits and yet do not get to vote for our governor. They aren’t citizens of Florida.

People from Santa Rosa County often shop in Escambia County and pay sales taxes on their purchases but don’t get to vote in Escambia County politics. They aren’t citizens of Escambia County.

I spend money in Century and pay both property taxes and sales taxes but don’t get to vote in Century politics. I’m not a citizen of Century.

Automatic citizenship isn’t conferred except American citizenship for being born in the USA. Citizenship — including the right to carry weapons — can be lost due to conviction for felonies and is not automatically restored. Courts have accepted this obvious and reasonable fact.

So do I.

David for good citizens

and with that self-correction out of the way:
“It seems the ACLU only helps felons and minorities”

Ultimately, aren’t we all some sort of minority?
There are more people weighing either more or less than we do, so that makes us in a minority.

If we are white, there are far more Asians in the world than whites, so that makes us a minority.

No matter what our age, there are more people either older or younger than we are, so we are in some sort of minority: either of old geezers or of young whippersnappers (like me).

The American Civil Liberties Union doesn’t only speak for minorities or felons or even limit themselves to Americans. I read recently where they sued to have certain non Americans taken off the No Fly List so they can fly to America. They don’t have visas, so they can’t enter legally, but they may not have to get through the gate, just on the plane.

Now to be honest, the ACLU didn’t insist they be taken off the list, just that the government explain why they’re there in the first place.
It could be an honest mistake, in which case they should be allowed to fly.
It could be a grudge on the part of some minor government worker, in which case they should be allowed to fly.
It could be that information shows they would be coming to blow up planes or commit some other acts of terrorism and that knowing how we know would help them kill whoever ratted them out and protected us.

Further, it’s possible that the reason these 13,000 haven’t been notified is that they are keeping out of sight because they’re sought for other felons.

and good voters

Now, if they HAVE been restored, that is another matter. Then they should be treated the same as non felons other than the fact only a fool would hire some of them based on past practices.
