since they have a single purpose to their mission. They only pursue "civil rights" and don't seem to balance that against anything else like the security of the nation or economic impact - the assumption being protection of civil rights insures economic success and national security. That is great, I'm sure the founding fathers would approve.
However, the ACLU doesn't seem to me to be protecting all of our civil rights with the same devotion. I'm trying to find some examples of the ACLU defending the right to bear arms. Also, while they are pressing hard on freedom of speech, they apparently require their employees to sign a non-disclosure agreement that prevents any employee from expressing critism of the ACLU. Last point on this topic - I see no evidence that the ACLU is protecting us against the IRS which takes real property from families and takes money right out of our bank accounts (with aide from the banks that don't want to be the target of IRS ire). Is the IRS found anywhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights? I don't think so...
So, if you are an ACLU supporter, GET A GRIP ON YOUR EMOTIONS, and recognize that they are playing some game, they have some secret agenda, and you are very unlikely to be the beneficiary of their efforts by any means other than luck.
