Good or bad?
After all, they support (some)of the bill of rights,if you are not a member, are you are lower than whale poop? Can't we just overlook the issues we disagree with and send them money?

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.

Are you serious? No true red-blooded American who loves freedom could support the ACLU. They are about as far left as you can get. This type of nazi group is hellbent on taking away all our freedoms for their elitist nazi agenda.
I wonder why they don't have to compromise like other orgs?

You've got it just backwards. The ACLU works to protect YOUR rights.
Here's what the ACLU does -
The American system of government is founded on two counterbalancing principles: that the majority of the people governs, through democratically elected representatives; and that the power even of a democratic majority must be limited, to ensure individual rights.
Majority power is limited by the Constitution's Bill of Rights, which consists of the original ten amendments ratified in 1791, plus the three post-Civil War amendments (the 13th, 14th and 15th) and the 19th Amendment (women's suffrage), adopted in 1920.
The mission of the ACLU is to preserve all of these protections and guarantees:
Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.
Your right to equal protection under the law - equal treatment regardless of race, sex, religion or national origin.
Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.
Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.
And your problem with that IS???
IMO the ACLU has done some good in defending civil rights. But others see those rights they defended as not worthy of defense (like Nazis marching in Illinois). Also, IMO, they go way too far in trying to defend freedom of "exposure to things" like Christmas. If 3 people in town don't like the Christmas display, they can bugger off. What happened to majority rule?
The ACLU detests the Second Amendment. Like most people and groups, it picks and chooses the rights it chooses to support and defend.
All in all, again this my opinion, the ACLU does far more harm to America than it does good. As noted it is an extremely Liberal organization. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a former high ranking member of the ACLU. Anymore need to be said?
Too old to live...too young to die...
With what the aclu does, it makes sense that they only want to stir up things here.
Does anyone else think we need to re-light the fire under the GREAT AMERICAN MELTING POT?
Bottom line, I despise them.
Answer: Nada. They want the American public disarmed. That is their marching orders from Karl Marx. A totalitarian government cannot exist where the public has the power.

other than the Union of The Holy Spirit, of course!
If the ACLU showed 1/100th the interest in the 2nd Amendment as they do in the 1st, I would support them, but they seem to pick and choose the rights they want to defend.
BINGO!

Ok, let's see, if Adolf Hitler gave to the Red Cross, that means we can like and support him because he does SOME good........ are you nuts??? the ACLU is always on the wrong side of the truly red blooded American way of life. They hide behind their creed of protecting civil liberties but they do FAR MORE HARM than good. I cannot believe ANY gun owner would have ANYTHING nice to say about those creeps. I've seen you post some nutty stuff before but this one takes the cake.......[V][V][V]

The ACLU was protecting the "rights" of NAMBLA The North American Man Boy Love Association. With the help of the ACLU these freaks would like to legalize child molesting. No way Id support them.
I beleave they were trying to protect there right to speak and publish THEIR message, which I beleave they lost.They did so on the principle that if the government can shut them up, who's next.A pro-gun group in DC or Chicago?
That was then, this is now? Fair enough, judge them by their present-day actions. They are intent on subverting the U.S. The causes they champion all weaken this country. I'm with Michael Savage on this, they should be rounded up and prosecuted under RICO statutes before this country goes completely under.
Let me set you all straight.
You may not like what the dudes that the ACLU defends have to say.
But as soon as they don't have the right to say it, YOU'RE NEXT.
There are two ways to protect yourself against government interference- the Courts and the Gun.
The GOP is doing all it can to prevent you from access to the Courts or a legal remedy. And if you think it is doing anything to protect your 2A rights, think again.

The ACLU is a commie organization and has been since it's inception. If you doubt that you are as blind as they come.
Just look at the cases they choose to take on.

You are right Oklahoma, in that this organization founded by a communist is so far left they rival Hitler's propagandist machine.

All you other ignorant folks just google "ACLU gun rights"
But I'm still betting they have an ulterior motive. They just don't do this type of thing.

Wasn't concerned with whether you were "hoping" for my approval, you started this insanity by making such crazy comments about the ACLU being something that resembles GOOD...... They are at the heart of everything evil in the country and opposed to everything good. If you believe otherwise, you are deeply deceived or naive'. It's amazing to me what people are willing to believe or accept as truth.

I don't want to hear about all the "good" the ACLU has done. Even a broken watch is right twice a day, and the ACLU is as useless as a broken watch.

Far worse than a broken watch in that broken watches have a great many elements of beauty whereas the ACLU is downright ugly.
Sucks
