How would you label people who are for reducing civil liberties then?

I think you should provide a bit of evidence for the "large numbers" of people in favour of "reducing civil liberties" on these boards.

Well for one, take a look at all the comments complaining that this is too political, or complaining about the dirty liberals on this site.

Nearly all (not all, but nearly all) the people who are against the ACLU are the people that you're looking for.
