Firstly, as someone who IS a Leftist, I can assure that Obama is not.

Secondly, the ACLU has no "party line," and as a quick browse through their web-site will inform you, they have more than once come to the defence of right-wing extremists who had their 1st Amendment rights threatened by hate-crimes legislation and other statutes.

Thirdly, in my experience those like DICK Cheney who are worried about the 2nd Amendment never seem to care about the other 15.
