Cmon, the ACLU isn't evil incarnate, folks...

The ACLU sided with Rush Limbaugh when his medical records were grabbed by the police after he was found popping pills.
They sided with Jerry Falwell against a Virginia ban on incorporation of churches.
They just fought a proposed ban on Baptisms in public rivers in Stafford County, Virginia.
They helped wn a settlement with Utica, MI Community School district over censoring a student's yearbook entry which contained a passage from the Bible.
Along with the US Chamber of Commerce, they protested the McCain-Feingold campaign law because it unfairly limited CORPORATE free speech.

What they do is all about precedent. Ban a Nazi from march, and later your own free speech could be at risk from that very same decision. Let the police grab Rush Limbaugh's medical records, and someone could legally grab yours tomorrow. I don't agree with everything they come up with by a LONG SHOT, but I see them protecting us from ourselves. Boy, do we need a little protection.

Oh, let's see now. The ACLU sides with conservatives and traditional family values once in a blue moon now and that somehow makes them a mainstream civil rights group?

The ACLU has attacked everything decent and honorable in this country icluding, the flag, organized religion, people of faith, tradional family values, the 10 commandments, the pledge of allegiance, Christmas, nativity scenes and on and on and on.

I will repeat it again. The ACLU is the most dangerous, radical left wing subversive group in this country today.

Nice try, but don't try to piss down my collar and then tell me it is only raining.
