I would like to say that in fact, the ACLU had nothing at all whatsoever to do with making sure Bill O'reilly or anyone for that matter can say what they want. There was NO ACLU in 1776 nor in 1886. The ACLU is in fact a modern invention and does employ facist like attacks.

Some times they are on the "right" side of the issue...but just as often they (in my opinion) are on the wrong end of right and wrong. Actually I think they are one of the nations most hit or miss groups, with far too much power and money backing them.

Just an opinion there. I think they are needed, but I wish they would pick their battles a bit more...judiciously.
