Freeing suspected terrorists and trying to kill Christmas; not a good way to make friends.

It's like saying "What about all the good things Hitler did?".

But yes, they have been on both sides of the fence.
the key is "supsected ter'wrist"

christmas will never die tho it is the classic cluster-f*ck destroying the separation of church and state myth (n.b. myth). i'm jewish and christmas is not my holiday and personally, i do not think christmas s/b a legal holiday in a country with no state religion just like yom kippur should not be a legal holiday here in u.s unless we have a state religion of judaism but then again, who am i

as to "good old adolph", i'll pass if you please

now, with all that aside (you know i couldn't resist, right? ), yes, the aclu has had some pretty strange bedfellows such as those in favor of gun control and then the nra. the aclu does serve a purpose and i just wish politicians would stop using them to their advantage but like i said above, "but then again, who am i?"
