If you are a cop killer, baby-raper or terrorist bent on the destruction of America, the ACLU are your go-to guys. A severely handicapped woman who can't tell you what she wants? The ACLU says starve her to death...they can't let those right to life types have a victory. Mrs. Schiavo is merely collateral damage in their political games.
The ACLU is a stealth organization, founded and funded by forces external to the United States. Have you ever heard of a case where the ACLU help a normal person?
