What has the ACLU done to benefit America?

Question

All they do is protect everybody but Americans.

Answer 1

I totally agree.

At one time, they really did mean to protect our freedoms- ALL americans... Now, they have a personal agenda- to legalize every form of perversion possible, while making conservatives look like the evil ones.

Currently they are attacking our free speech rights. Conservative talk shows are being attacked with the "Fair Doctrine Act." The only people it seems to be fair to are liberals- go figure.

Answer 2

sure it relatively is. It supplies a voice to the "little guy", minorities, much less universal concepts,and so on. It promotes and protects everyones civil liberties. Many open minded human beings help the paintings of the ACLU. because of the fact that, the ACLU defends the rights of those no longer continuously interior of maximum folk it relatively is often disliked via maximum folk. united statesa. desires the ACLU.

Answer 3

The ACLU played a huge role in the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case.

Answer 4

HELLO!!! Darth,

As for me I have not see any good they have done. They are always causing trouble, getting Congress to listen to them and Congress claims no special interest groups. Bull !!! it is to depressing to name the bad things they do every day and most of us have no idea what is up next.

I apologies for being so far behind but I am on a dial up system. The darn computer acts like it just wants to upset me.

On to your next question,

Answer 5

Here's a site with a short history of the ACLU - http://arar.essortment.com/acluamericanci_rmal.htm

Whether or not the ACLU has done anything beneficial is, of course, up to you to judge.

Answer 6

I would not have a problem with the ACLU, but they seem to pick their fights. If it has anything to do with religion, they are against it. But if a religious person was being persecuted and their civil liberties were being trampled, I don't think they would come to their aid. If they picked up the boxing gloves for everything and everybody that was having their civil rights violated, then I would consider them a legitimate organization.

Answer 7

I thought about this, Darth, and I drew a blank. I can't think of one thing the ACLU has done to benefit America. They've tried to do some things that might have eventually led to something beneficial, but not to who they should be helping.

Funny how the libs flipped their lids when their own ACLU jumped in to help the embattled Senator Craig, who in my mind was wronged in just about every way possible by some overzealous municipal cops.

Answer 8

They take on any case to protect anyone's rights. Even Rush Limbaugh's.

Answer 9

The ACLU defends the rights of people to speak freely, to practice the religion of their choice and to be treated equally before the law. In addition, the ACLU defends other fundamental rights of freedom outlined in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution: the right to be free from unlawful searches and seizures in our homes and offices; the right to a fair trial and to legal representation; and, the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.

What's wrong with that?

Answer 10

Sadly, the ACLU has become corrupt over the years. I think it originally started out for the good of the people. However, It has gotten more and more radical each year. So has our country in general though. I think the end days are here my fellow Americans. San Fran-sicko gets more perverted day by day, people are trying to remove the word "God" from everything, and we are on the brink of WWIII. Laugh if you will, but I think some crazy stuff is going on and the worst is yet to come.

Answer 11

When the answer "I can't think of anything" gets the most votes, you know the viewing audience is top notch.

"Yeah, I can't think of anything either. I agree with not being able to think of anything"
