The Anti-Civil Anti-Liberties Union

I think it is hugely ironic that an organization that claims to defend the civil liberties of U.S. citizens, is neither civil in its attempts to do so, nor really liberating anyone. Instead, they use threats of law suits and other bullying tactics so that weenies don't have to suck it up and learn to get along in a pluralistic society simply because they're "offended." So what. Get over it. 

Their most recent attempt at defending civil liberties is to threaten a law suit (that's the anti-civil part) against the U.S. Naval Academy to force them to stop the non-sectarian, completely optional/totally voluntary moment of prayer before each noon-time meal (that's the anti-liberties part). This is a tradition that has been in place since the founding of the Academy. (ACLJ.org has the whole deal.) What part of non-sectarian, and optional/voluntary, do they not understand? This is a joke.

I'm sure that since its founding, 1000's of ir-/non-religious cadets have gotten by without their dainty sensibilities being ruined by this 2-minute (if that) prayer time. 

The ACLU's attempt to expunge any expression of Christianity (Islamic expressions are A-OK with them, though) from the public, and now military, sector are laughable and infuriating at the same time. 

Why don't they actually spend time and money defending liberties, like the liberty of Freedom of Religious Expression? Or the liberty to not have to send a kid to school within eye-shot of a convicted pervert? Or how about the liberty to ignore or otherwise not participate in someone else's "offensive" behavior? 

Get over yourselves, ACLU.
