American CIvil Liberties Union
It seems that I am the only sane person on this website! I am not a "neo-nazi terrorist scumbag" but i do support freedom of speech, whether it be flag burning or KKK rallies, and i do not support the government holding untried prisoners in foreign countries where they are routinely waterboarded. I don't think that any religion should be present in schools, or any other pubic place for that matter, but what people worship in their homes or churches id fine with me. Call me anti-American all you want, but isn't it you that is being anti-America by not wanting what is in the best interests of the population?
This country is built on patriotic dissent. Lve with it, you closed minded, neo-conservatiove hate mongers.

A group of lawyers dedicated to preserving the freedoms layed out in the American Bill of Rights, especially the first-amendment rights of freedom of speech and assembly.
The ACLU are often maligned and mischaracterised as being "anti-Christian" since they oppose state-sponsored religion. They have gathered considerable controversy for defending the rights of free speech for unpopular groups such as Neo-Nazis.

The proud, courageous, politically diverse group of legal professionals who defend the rights of this great nation and who are hated by the following: Southern Baptists (and all other misguided people who call themselves Christians), white supremacists (although, dammit, the ACLU has defended their right to freedom of expression before), anyone who hates freedom and tolerance (read: conservatives), and all the real terrorists in this country who'd like to undermine the Constitution.

A diverse group of lawyers and legal officials, whose objective is to defend the rights of the people of the United States from corruption that has run through the system. Often hated by Racists and especially Christians, because of their views on pro-choice for abortion, gay rights, and the like that the christian church opposes. They stand by the words in which America was made so long ago, they stand by America's true purpose, which many have lost sight of. Freedom, Liberty, and Privacy.
The ACLU is one of the few remaining organizations that hold by the principals through which America was made.

An organization that has socialist roots, not to mention it was originally an anti-war movement in the 1920's. Lately they have been leading the Pro-Choice front(oh look a condom!) and the war against Christmas.
Generally the standard ACLU infantryperson(note political correctness) is equiped with a Membership card, and a big book of law suits which have been filed in the past. The ACLU takes small cases that have been won in small towns(because small organizations and local schools can't fund defense against huge amounts of cash) and projects them onto larger cities and areas, eventually certain thing's are banned on a state wide basis. Not to mention a suitcase filled with cash, please note that many people unsuspectingly donate to the ACLU(including progressive auto insurance coughboycottcough).
The ACLU also uses the media to gain proponents, they are hailed as a good and rightous organization but really deep down they're stripping our liberties away. They may make a few cases that are truly good, but those generally are just a cover up for what really is going on.

Misguided fools that don't understand what the American Civil Liberties Union is all about. The aclu defends people and organizations that face threats to their Constitutional Rights. The Constitution is meant to protect Americans from the powerful government, corporations and/or individuals. Remember everyone is created equal? The aclu takes on cases to defend people's civil rights, particularly those in the 1st Ammendment: freedom of the press, religion, speech and assembly.
ACLU bashers are usually just misinformed fuckwits, however some neocons actually are opposed to the idea of a group defending the rights of the little guy.
