Yea…yea…yea…all conservatives say the same thing over and over: “How can anyone seriously try to claim that the ACLU is helping our country these days? Which of their causes [is] noble and admirable?” Yet, when conservatives and conservative causes are in trouble – really, really in trouble – they don’t go the Fox News or conservative pundits; they go to the ACLU. Conservatives know who really defends personal liberty in this country.
Consequently when religious liberty – real religious liberty – is under attack, it's the ACLU who comes to the defense. Here's a short list:

When “rabid right wing wackos,” such as Rev Jerry Falwell, Rush Limbaugh, and Bob Barr, are under attack, they run to the ACLU:
