Your thoughts on the ACLU

[Dis]

The conservatives continue to bash the ACLU, I don't quite see what the problem is.

the only problem I have is their defense of NAMBLA (north american man boy love association). How could they defend such scum?

I suppose they do have a little bit of a leftist slant. But the important thing is they are still defending civil liberties. Though I wish they could also defend more of the conservatives rights as well to be a little more fair.

I really admire what they do.

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
-- Voltaire

That sentiment is the very essence of what made the Enlightenment what it was, what makes the West what it is, and why the ACLU is essential even when we disagree with them.

The ACLU has an agenda which they push through the courts. Some local chapters though are not too bad.

It's called 'free speech'. They defend the right of NAMBLA to state their opinion - not some (non-existant) "right" to **** little kids.

Yeah, the agenda to allow everyone to express their own agenda.

the NAMBLA webite provides instructions on how to rape little kids. You agree with that?

In dedication to the ACLU:
"The Blowhard Always Wins"
By Elok

How many roads must a man walk down,
before he gets tired of sore feet?
Why must he stay in the kitchen so long,
if he always complains of the heat?
How can he talk in mixed-metaphor whine,
without getting thrown out on the street?
The answer? My friend, I'll yell it in your ear:
IT'S HARDER TO WORK THAN TO *****.

That's ****ed up

I am afraid to even go to their website or do a search on the organization.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I voted for:

"They do some questionable things- but I still support them"

Overall, they are ok, but some stuff they do is just moronic.

[David Floyd]

I agree with Imran.

[JohnT]

Yup, that's how I voted (I agree, but...) as well.

[Japher]

I hate 'em!

The feel that protecting freedoms means taking them away and locking them a safe box where no one can hace them is "protecting"...

[Kirnwaffen]

I support the ACLU in principle, if not always in substance.

[Dinner]

I wish they'd try to support the constitution more then just left wing political adgendas.
