People always say the ACLU is bad, but the truth of the matter is that they fight for cases of all different sorts that range from far left to far right. As the name implies, they fight for civil liberties in America, regardless of whether or not all Americans agree with the opinions and beliefs of those involved in the cases.

It's unfair and and rather biased to say that the American Civil Liberties Union "criminalizes" our liberties, just because you may not agree with some of the stances they take. They fight each case on an individual basis, not as part of a whole bigger agenda. I'll certainly admit that, more often than not, they fight on the opposite side that I would, but that doesn't make them evil or criminals.
