Distrusting the ACLU[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#8)
by Anonymous User on Fri Jan 20, 2006 at 10:42:04 AM PDT

It is difficult to fathom that so many people fail to grasp the fundamental idea of protecting our Constitutional rights when those rights are exercised by those with whom we disagree. "The ACLU has championed so many dubious causes and taken so many outrageous positions..." "Dubious" and "outrageous" apparently translate to "I disagree." "...that I trust them even less than I do the Justice Department." I trust them to try to protect my free speech rights. I even trust them to defend your free speech rights, even though I disagree with you. That's what they do. That's all they do. Why is that so hard to grasp?
