ACLU unable to oust patrolling Minutemen

I used to routinely get mad at the American Civil Liberties Union, whenever I heard about their ridiculous antics. In my area, for example, the ACLU's biggest accomplishment to date is the removal of a cross from a water tower! And I knew they weren't really defenders of liberty when they tried to have Walter Polovchak, a Ukrainian teenager, sent back to the Soviet Union. That was totally unexcusable, and Polovchak only got to stay here because his case dragged on until he turned 18. I changed my mind about the ACLU, though, after they defended Muammar el-Gaddafi, in the aftermath of the 1986 US bombing of Libya. Now I consider the ACLU the most perfect political barometer yet devised by man. If I don't know where I should stand on an issue, I look at which side the ACLU takes, and take the opposite side. It hasn't failed me yet.
