I certainly hope not. I just happen to have a soft spot for any organization that will fight to protect the rights of folks they don't even like and often do so at the price of public derision. (How many people have you met that despise the ACLU, over a singular case or issue? Like "prayer in the classroom" for instance.)

The ACLU is a needed counterbalance to the authoritarian tendencies of our Federal government. When I returned from Europe to the USA under Reagan, I contributed every year to the ACLU when pressured by my agency to contribute to the Combined Federal Campaign.

That is precisely my take on the ACLU. I like the group despite that I dislike some of their cases. I seem to faintly recall them backing NAMLBA getting them a lot of negative publicity.

You wouldn't need stickers for those bullet holes if you drive that truck around here with an ACLU sticker on it. We like children... and not in the way the ACLU/NAMBLA does.

Respectfully, go fuck yourself.
