Yep, I am a card carrying member of the ACLU

"So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy." - ACLU Founder Roger Baldwin

I am a "sustainer" of the ACLU. Yes indeedy. Ever since conservatives vilified the ACLU, I have wanted to literally fit that stereotype of what they call a "card carrying member of the ACLU". Well, now you can see that I am. And a proud one at that.

(from their site):

The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.

These rights include:

•Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.
•Your right to equal protection under the law - protection against unlawful discrimination.
•Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.
•Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.
The ACLU also works to extend rights to segments of our population that have traditionally been denied their rights, including people of color; women; lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people; prisoners; and people with disabilities.

If the rights of society's most vulnerable members are denied, everybody's rights are imperiled.

What kind of people would be against such a thing, and what does it say about their character and what they value about the United States of America and it's Constitution?
