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

Get the American Civil Liberties Union mug.A social libertarian is a person who believes in social liberty, i.e., individual independence and communal autonomy from overarching government or state control.
A social libertarian typically rejects the concentration of decision-making authority into distant, oligarchical, centralized bureaucracies - federal or monolithic - favoring instead the diffusion and localization of that decision-making authority.
Social libertarians support a political, social, and economic environment which allows voluntary accession to associations, but also permits a person to choose to remain free of restraint by society, except in cases in which an individual's claim of freedom interferes with another individual's right to be free from unwarranted, aggressive coercion or harm.
Social libertarians regard free-market capitalism and democratic, communalistic socialism as equally conducive economic means towards the ends of generalistic liberation from tyranny.

Murray Bookchin's support of decentralized, non-hierarchical communal autonomy, coupled with a belief in individual liberty, indicates that he and his adherents are social libertarians.

Conservative Libertarians are conservative in political nature, such as foreign policy, homeland security, and economics while strictly interpreting the constitution as it states. They believe in free rights, liberty, and the opportunity for everyone to make it to the top. Conservative Libertarians leave it up to the individual to determine what is right and wrong for themselves, and leave it up to the states to deal with murder and unjustified actions. Conservative Libertarianism is also a political position that deals with morality and ethical beliefs, based that all men and women are created equal. It is also a political party that does not allow religious beliefs to get in the way of allowing all people (regardless of their background, ethical standpoints, religious standpoints, or sexuality) the promises of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Jim: Hey, John! Did you hear about conservative libertarians? They believe that it is up to the individual to decide what is right for themselves rather than making ridiculous laws that are aimed at 5 people, but directly effect the rest of the state's population! Like the 21 drinking age!
John: Yeah, I heard! And one of their best beliefs is to disregard all religious thinking when running the country to get things done, thinking on morality rather than religion.
Jim: Exactly! It's a shame that they haven't run the country yet because of the damn sheeple we have in this country...

Get the Conservative Libertarian mug.A middle school in suburban Colorado offering grades 6-8. Full of middle to upper class white kids pretending they're drug dealing rappers, this school has enough money floating around the student body to promote pretentious cliques and shameless tormenting. Any perverts looking for booty shorts and yoga pants will not be disappointed as any of the girls would happily wear no clothes at all given the option. The Starbucks down the road is a common hangout for malevolent white girls and their hackneyed boyfriends. Legend has it that multiple white girls live at this Starbucks, having never been seen without a Frappuccino or Pumpkin Spice Latte.
White Girl Wynona and Bonehead Blondie will happily tell you to kill yourself strutting down the hallway of Liberty Middle School with Starbucks in one hand and iPhone in the other.
