ACLU agenda

I want to state that I was unaware of the actions of the ACLU until recently. I was under the impression that it is a civil liberties organization and only trying to protect our rights from our encroaching government. I believe most people are in the same state of mind. Once someone pointed out to me some of the current controvertial actions the ACLU have taken, I started to examine them more closely. My eyes were opened and especially by the history of this organization. I'm sure there are local chapters which are perfectly fine and trying to do the right thing and helping people who cannot help themselves in legal matters. However, what is disturbing is the path that the national ACLU leaders have taken. I believe they have hijacked this organization and have taken it to the far left of the political spectrum. As with any organization, a few bad apples can spoil the whole barrel.
