Any organization never enjoys complete approval or dissatisfaction. Any NORMAL organization. There is absolutely nothing that I can ever find that I hold in common with the ACLU, even when keeping a completely open mind. Given its make-up - predominantly liberal, predominantly espoused by Jewish lawyers - it is utterly amazing that they hold such extremist views to where they even probably deny the existance of the Hollucost! Having been born in Evantson, IL, I am ashamed that the ACLU is headquartered there!:(<br><b>References : </b><br> I cannot believe that the ACLU is espoused by either political party.

For instance, libertarian Republicans should support the same rights, while neo-conservative Republicans are against. Liberal Democrats should agree with the ACLU most of the time but they might be against on some issues like the Nazi's rights to march. Looking at the list on their website, it looks like most of the social issues at this time are supported by more Democrats. Update - Wow, an American who has no beliefs in common with the ACLU! That would exclude freedom of speech, assembly, press, religion...Must be one of those 'freedom-haters' we've been hearing about.<br><b>References : </b><br> I don't think they fit either, they are non-partisan b/c they take the side of the Bill of Rights, and both parties have members with opposing views.

They are committed to thier cause, which includes everything from defending communists' rights to publish thier manifestos, to neo-nazi's rights to free speach, to a lot of really more reasonable things in between. Maybe they're not as down on political correctness as they should be, betraying a bit of lefty sentiment.<br><b>References : </b><br> Niether, really.
