1. ACLU is pro religious tolerance.
And pro tolerance of atheists, and pro constituion and freedom. That's why I like em.

5. I don't know that I would characterize it that way...
Edited on Tue Dec-26-06 08:11 AM by hughee99
It's a good website, that helps to show that the ACLU is not, by it's nature, anti-Christian. IMHO, characterizing them as "pro-Christian" would be like characterizing them as "pro-convicted murderer" for their work on the death penalty. The ACLU is pro-civil rights, and does not discriminate against anyone whose rights are being violated, regardless of that individual or group's other qualities or agendas.

6. aclu is not "pro christian"
any more than it is "pro nazism","pro judaism", or pro anything else. if one`s civil rights are violated then they will go to court to protect them. i find the use of the "pro christian" in this context offensive

7. I remember this one well. I used it to end an ACLU bashing fest by a RWer
She was going on and on about how the ACLU wastes our money defending freaks. To which I responded, "yeah, like Christians." Then I mentioned this story and a couple others and she shut up. http://www.aclu.org/studentsrights/expression/12845prs20040511.

Some one quickly changed the subject since she was a 'special guest'.
