option 2 -- positively horrible people.

It could be a good organization if it did not take things to extremes and have a left-wing political agenda that seeks to advance pernicious political correctness.

Mixed record, though in general I think they're better than NOW. Obviously they are biased, but they represent one side of the debate and play an important role in doing that.

Freedom Fighters.  Standing up for civil rights even when it becomes unpopular.

I honestly find it amazing that a majority on this board considers the ACLU horrible.  They are by definition freedom fighters.  If you dislike freedom, and therefore dislike the ACLU, you should still vote 'freedom fighter', and then explain in your post that you are a fascist.

The ACLU expelled its communist members in 1945 I believe.

Freedom fighters, though it would be great if they would STFU about abortion and focus on stuff that I agree with them on. Tongue

If you're going to be against freedom, you have to expect the ACLU to work against you, Ebowed.

Hey good for you, Speed of Sound, for being a member!  I would join but I imagine the authorities take a hostile interest in those that do.

Freedom fighters, though sometimes they can be horribly misguided in their good intentions.

Depends on what side you stand on.  Freedom fighters if you support what they support.  Horrible People if you dont support the causes they represent.

They pick and choose which rights to defend. That alone warrants no respect to them.

I named one issue that I (vehemently) disagree with the ACLU on - how does that make me anti-freedom?

Well, clearly it means you are against the freedom to abort, Ebowed.

I'm all for said clump of cells, I just want it to stand on its own two 'feet', like any good American individualist would expect.
