Enemy of the State
Matthew Barganier at Antiwar.com found these nice T-Shirts being sold, containing the acronym ACLU (where the C is, of course, you get it, a hammer and sickle) and the subtext "Enemy of the State".
As Matthew Barganier writes:
Since when is communism anti-state? And since when do conservatives, much less self-styled libertarians, consider "enemy of the state" a pejorative?
(One could argue about the communism bit). Once being an "Enemy of the State" becomes a pejorative, it's time to prick up your ears and listen to those marching boots, slowly coming closer. Thump thump thump thump.
