The ACLU just is obsessed with sending me "push poll" sort of "surveys" in which they goal is to rile me up before the important "And how much will you donate?" question.

They're the mirror image of the "push poll" surveys I get from conservative groups. The amount of junkmail I get trying to ensure I'm outraged enough to open my wallet, from both sides, is entirely absurd. I guess that's what I deserve for subscribing to a range of magazines instead of plugging into the online outrage engines.

Yeah, the ACLU definitely feels more like a political super PAC (the Democratic counterpart to the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity, perhaps) than it does a civil liberties union.
