2. I wondered why the right wing attacks the ACLU....

So I looked to their mission statement:

The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty. We work daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Our job is to conserve America's original civic values: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Now I know why.

3. A lot of people only think

the ACLU is the group that keeps their Bibles and prayer out of the public sphere. They should be thanking them for their work, for they may keep that statue of "fill in any other religion's God" off the courthouse lawn!
