    What good does the ACLU do for America? What bad does the ACLU do for America? Overall is it bad or good?

    I'm interested in hearing what (if any) good stuff is in that list, thanks!

    Well other than making the oppression of terrorists within and near our nation nearly impossible to achieve, they're not half bad... ;)

    ... *cough* </sarcasm>

    Anti-everything that had to do with founding this country! They are also very anti-christian in most of what they do, as if they have a vendetta against Christians.

    i don't think everything the ACLU does is bad, but on a whole, generally, it supports bad things.

    I agree, no one has the right to not be offended and civil liberties also apply to the majority.

    Although I agree with lorien in saying that occasionally they do a good thing but on the whole they are out to destroy freedom of speech and move our country into a state-run secular society.

    Geez, do any of you voting in the poll even know what the ACLU is? I'm guessing you don't seeing as the poll is 5 to 1 against an organizatin dedicated to protecting the constitution and bill of rights.

    The ACLU is an organization I once dealt with when I was looking for legal help. They always have an agenda and they always want cases that can damage the government. They make a living getting donations from those who hate corporate America. I think that they do some good, but overall they are led by greed and the desire to profit from making it in the news by any means necessary. IMO they stand for absolutely nothing morally speaking.

    Really? So rich people, parents, business owners, christians, and society in the whole do not have constitutional rights I suppose.

    The ACLU is selling society an inaccurate image of America.

    The ACLU is probably going to Sue to stop this thread. Why?

    1) Because the Porn industry has not had equal time on this thread.
    2) Font size discriminates against poor who prefer Lucida Handwriting instead of Times New Roman.

    Therefore, DP must pay damages of 1,000,000,000,000,000 to compensate the terrible and tragic predator perpetration against these underprivileged people.

    Didn't the ACLU pass an internal rule saying members couldn't criticize the ACLU? Isn't that just a tad ironic?

    LOL! On a more serious note though I feel that is exactly the reason I don't like the aclu, they fight for the restriction of the rights of others so everyone can be "equal"(communism?) as well as the expansion of government to see that this "fairness" quota is met.

    Why don't you just sign up with some Islamic bomb squad, I'm sure some of your DP buddies can refer you to a good one ;)

    so not only does yo-yo fear 78% of americans; he actively wants to work against them. In a few months, yo might be talked into beating some up. Then who knows where the fun ends!
