a diverse organization of American Patriots better known as simply the aclu that works to protect the basic freedoms gauranteed by the U.S. Constitution
The American Civil Liberties Union believes in:
Free speech,Free press; this applies to everyone even those with radical or unpopular beliefs, defending a persons right to speak is not the same as an endorsement of that speech
Freedom of religion/Seperation of Church and State;There can be no freedom of religion without a seperation of church and state if government favors one particular religion it infringes on the those who believe in other faiths. The religious right claims inaccurately that not allowing government to force people to practice Christianity is somehow being anti-Christian which of course is ridiculous, many Christians are ACLU members
Protections against unwarranted search and seizure (privacy) protected by the fourth amendment the ACLU opposed the Patriot Act and other abuses by the Bush Administration
Opposition to "Cruel" and "Unusual" punishment which is prohibited by the eighth amendment, this includes the death penalty
The ninth amendment states that our rights are not limited to those specifically mentioned in the Constitution, basically America is a free society and the government needs to show a compelling state interest before criminalizing any private personal behavior
The fourteenth amendment gaurantees equal protection under the law, this includes gays and people of all races and religions

economic strategy promoted by corporate owned Republicans involving the expansion of corporate power and the oppression of the working class, so as the corporate CEO's become the lords and the working class become the serfs
Neo-feudalism involves busting unions, moving jobs overseas, and a general opposition to anything that benefits workers; OSHA, minimum wage, health care benefits etc.

A strange phenomenon in which someone usually a Bushnesiac suddenly switches from being a Bush Basher to being an Obama basher
George W Bush was a disaster as president he took a record budget surplus and turned it into a record deficit, wrecked the economy and started a senseless war in Iraq, many people rightfully bashed the Bush administration for these things. Now however the Bush to Obama phenomenon has many of the former Bush bashers blaming all these things on Obama and bashing him.
