re resp:360: I think the ACLU is a heavily politically biased group. I've said so many times, so I expect that part doesn't come as any surprise to anyone here. I expect the ACLU to oppose conservative values and positions. When they oppose a novel venture by Tom Monaghan, it is what I expect, because he is conservative and pretty prominent. When they do so, it reinforces my view that they're politically motivated to support left- leaning causes. When the ACLU takes up causes such as Nazis, KKK, etc., I believe it is more to emphasize in people's minds that there are people like that, who are generally described as conservatives, than out of any concern for anyone's rights. Their support for Rush Limbaugh was: 1) Designed to embarrass Limbaugh, beause he is a prominent conservative 2) Lucrative for the ACLU 3) Consistent with a liberal position regarding illegal use of drugs But no doubt about it, I very deeply distrust the ACLU. I very rarely find myself in agreement with any of their positions or actions. When I do find myself agreeing with the ACLU on something, I evaluate whether I am really on the right side. Currently I agree with their position regarding the president's wiretap policy without court supervision, but I can't think of anything else.
