While I may not always agree with the ACLU and what they choose to defend or not defend, I do consider them to be an important and worthy organization and one that I will continue to support.
I know of at least 2 cases where the ACLU has defended an individuals right to fly a flag. I'm not aware of a case where they've not supported an individuals right to fly a flag. I'm not saying they haven't, I'm just not aware of one.
As for flag burning...the ACLU may have defended the practice, but it was the courts that ultimately decided that flag-burning was a protected form of free speech.
