| I just donated to the ACLU |
|
Probably not very uncommon around here, but surprising for me! I tend to be a "tough-on-crime" moderate-liberal and I also strongly disagree with the ACLU at times. If somebody told me even a year ago that I would be donating to the ACLU, I wouldn't believe it. But I looked at their core beliefs and what they stand for, and I think they are fighting the good fight, especially when you consider what the right-wing social conservatives want to do to this country. America needs groups like the ACLU right now.

| 3. There's nothing wrong with being tough-on-crime. |

But indefinite detention without a trial or police detectives who win confessions by beating the crap out of somebody ain't my idea of America.
The ACLU gets an unfair reputation because its principled stands are misunderstood.
