Hey, they helped defend Rush Limbaugh and several religious conservatives including that scumbag, the "reverend" Fred Phelps.\nThat proves there impartiality.\n\nHERE ARE SOME EXAMPLE OF THE ACLU DEFENDING RELIGOUS FREEDOM INCLUDING 2ND ADMENDMENT RIGHTS,TAKEN FROM THEIR SITE:\n\n    September 20, 2005: ACLU of New Jersey joins lawsuit supporting second-grader's right to sing "Awesome God" at a talent show.\n\n    August 4, 2005: ACLU helps free a New Mexico street preacher from prison.\n\n    May 25, 2005: ACLU sues Wisconsin prison on behalf of a Muslim woman who was forced to remove her headscarf in front of male guards and prisoners.\n\n    February 2005: ACLU of Pennsylvania successfully defends the right of an African American Evangelical church to occupy a church building purchased in a predominantly white parish.\n\n    December 22, 2004: ACLU of New Jersey successfully defends right of religious expression by jurors.\n\n    November 20, 2004: ACLU of Nevada supports free speech rights of evangelists to preach on the sidewalks of the strip in Las Vegas.\n\n    November 9, 2004: ACLU of Nevada defends a Mormon student who was suspended after wearing a T-shirt with a religious message to school.\n\n    August 11, 2004: ACLU of Nebraska defends church facing eviction by the city of Lincoln.\n\n    July 10, 2004: Indiana Civil Liberties Union defends the rights of a Baptist minister to preach his message on public streets.\n\n    June 9, 2004: ACLU of Nebraska files a lawsuit on behalf of a Muslim woman barred from a public pool because she refused to wear a swimsuit.\n\n    June 3, 2004: Under pressure from the ACLU of Virginia, officials agree not to prohibit baptisms on public property in Falmouth Waterside Park in Stafford County.\n\n    May 11, 2004: After ACLU of Michigan intervened on behalf of a Christian Valedictorian, a public high school agrees to stop censoring religious yearbook entries.\n\n    March 25, 2004: ACLU of Washington defends an Evangelical minister's right to preach on sidewalks.\n\n    February 21, 2003: ACLU of Massachusetts defends students punished for distributing candy canes with religious messages.\n\n    October 28, 2002: ACLU of Pennsylvania files discrimination lawsuit over denial of zoning permit for African American Baptist church.\n\n    July 11, 2002: ACLU supports right of Iowa students to distribute Christian literature at school.\n\n    April 17, 2002: In a victory for the Rev. Jerry Falwell and the ACLU of Virginia, a federal judge strikes down a provision of the Virginia Constitution that bans religious organizations from incorporating.\n\n    January 18, 2002: ACLU defends Christian church's right to run "anti-Santa" ads in Boston subways.\n\nSO I GUESS THAT SHOW THAT CONSERVATIVES ARE WRONG  AND DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHATS REALLY GOING ON WITH THE ACLU OR REFUSES TO UNDERSTAND.

I think the generalization comes from this site.  We are all incognito behind our computer screens and that makes some people feel invincible.  I have been sent hate email and hate posts and even had a question posed about what an ugly liberal lesbian I am (I can take it in stride, though, I know who I am).  In the grander scheme of things, I don't think that Conservatives are hateful.  I simply disagree with their ideals.  On this site, however, if one disagrees, one must prepare for the onslaught of name calling and anger and hate.

Liberals are known as being opportunists. They look to gain from others missteps or misfortunes.  That being the case, they don't try to solve problems, they only look to tear down the right wing.   Although Republicans are disliked,particularly these days, at least they take actions rather than wait to feed off of others problems

Perhaps you're referring to the ACLU (American Civil LibertiesUnion)?

LOL! Are you Bill O'Reilly? You ask a question and then tell the answerer to shut up. You should thank the ACLU for your right to free speech.

Good, deep, question, my friend.\n\nLiberals (not as individuals, but overall as a group) hate Jesus and Christianity for two reasons.  One, they worship Bill Clinton, so there is no room for another diety in their world.  Two, the word of Jesus teaches morality, responsibility, honesty, and self-determination.  That all runs completely counter to everything liberals believe in.\n\nSorry liberals.  I hate to call you out like that, but look at your heroes and tell me they aren't a bit challenged in these areas (the Clintons, the Kennedys, Michael Moore...).

The ACLU should be called the Anti-Christian Liberals Union.  One thing is to stand up for the rights of some poor uneducated person who just got fired for no reason and can't defend himself from the big corporation, etc... but to be so totally against religion that you would proactively and without a single complaint, spend time and effort to stamp out prayer, etc from all government ceremonies, etc., is just insane.  The lawyers who work for and the people who support the ACLU really should look at themselves and ask, "isn't the fact that I am against religion (which in its best form, molds family values and keeps kids from being raised in broken homes, etc.), make me participant to the destruction of the very thing I am trying to protect (the well-being of the average person).  It is actually leading to the deterioration of our values as a society instead of contributing to them.  Don't be fooled... unless you are trash in society, you will never need their help.  Who knows if you are trash?  Not me.  I don't know, but you should... and if you are, you still have a chance to remedy yourself. But remember, once you do, they will no longer be interested in helping you because there will be no news value to it.

No, they aren't racist. Just illogical and eager to twist the facts. Here's some examples of how conservatives 'debate' with liberals:\n\nor.... "Arguing without Listening" \n\nLiberal Lie: "We rushed to war on false pretenses." \nEducated Response: "You Hate America!" \n\nLiberal Lie: "The Constitution isn't a political tool." \nEducated Response: "Read the Bible!" \n\nLiberal Lie: "The Clear Skies Initiative raises pollution." \nEducated Response: "America Hater!" \n\nLiberal Lie: "There is no link between Iraq and al-Qaeda." \nEducated Response: "Traitor!" \n\nLiberal Lie: "The tax cuts clearly benefit the wealthy." \nEducated Response: "Stop hating America!" \n\nLiberal Lie: "They turned a surplus into a deficit." \nEducated Response: "It's Clinton's fault!" \n\nLiberal Lie: "The 2000 Election was a sham." \nEducated Response: "You hate, Hate, HATE America!" \n\nLiberal Lie: "I don't hate America." \nEducated Response: "Flip-Flopper!" \n\nRemember, it's not about being right.... it's about winning!

I find, as both a member of the ACLU and a Christian, that they are perfectly compatible.  Quite frankly, the only people it is not compatible with are the highly conservative "Christian" extremists, a la Falwell and Robertson.  Quite frankly, they merely use Christianity as an excuse for bigotry and hatred.  Ironically enough, historically, those people who you and I would really identify as acting in a Christian manner are those on the forefront of the progressive movement today.  For instance, the Christians who were anti-slavery in the 1850's, or those working for desegregation in the 1950's.  The fundamentalists were on the opposite sides back then.  If Robertson was alive in the 1850's I have no doubt whatsoever that he would be pro-slave. After all, there is much more biblical teaching that is pro-slavery than there is anti-gay.

Im firmly behind the ACLJ.  The ACLU is nothing more than a liberal wing of the Democratic party.  All the ACLU supports is Islam, Abortion, and the usual liberal talking points.

No, I'm a liberal and an ACLU member and I am rooting for Americans. Just because someone does not agree with you does not mean that person does not love his or her country.

I hate liberals that try to get laws passed that create the twisted world they want at the cost of everyone elses personal freedom. examples: you should not smoke it's bad for you.. phedophiles should get mental help instead of jail time. do not say things that are not pc. attack christians and thier symbols.watch American idol instead of Fox News. oh thats a law they would like. libs need to stop acting like spoiled brats and remember Americans think you are jokes.

The slow advance of facism is upon us.  Even with the recent election, many conservatives still support the Iraq fiasco and vote for stupid laws like the one you cite.  It says something about us.  It's frightening.  In fact, it's fear that is driving a lot of this supposed defense stuff.  Security at airports.  Now limits to the right to peaceful assembly?  \n\nThe only way to show how we feel about an unjust 'law' is to break the law.  Sit ins and teach ins helped with the Civil Rights Movement. Civil disobedience is our duty.\n\nIf we allow ourselves to be legislated into a corner, then what ever trouble that visits us, we deserve, don't we?\n\nIt's shameful to erode the First Amendment!  Yes, this 'law' is wrong and goes too far!  I would hope that Kansas and other states would be challenged in this case.  But, Kansas still thinks that Darwin is wrong.  How do you deal with that sort of stupidity?\n\nAre we sheep being led to the slaughter?  Are you?  Am I?\n\nWhat's next?

I dont know how they get away with it,but someone needs to do something about it.My conservative cousin went to a liberal college and they treated him like dirt.He wasnt allowed to voice his opinion at all yet liberals sit on the "freedom of speech" platform when in reality they only accept what they believe.
