Sorry to rain on your Bush hating parade (no seriously, I do like Bush hating parades) but there's already a thread on this. I figured I'd tell you and save you the trouble of being flamed.

The charges were dropped, so it doesn't even matter. However, at the same time a Republican congressman's wife was removed for wearing a "support the troops" T-shirt, so I guess it's even handed.

Honestly, I don't think she should have been removed, but it wasn't on Bush's order.

Republican Senators wife was removed too. And she was pro war. Now, run along before Eutrusca shows up to hate you.

What about those people they locked up in a Warehouse for protesting at the Republican Convention last year. Or that one time the president made a speech there was a 'Free Speech' area about 6 blocks away and was nothing more than a giant Fenced in Cage. Yeah you can speak your anti-War views but only in the Cage where the President will never see you, all the suck ups can go and see him now.

Don't know about un-American, but he's certainly the most un-Christian president I've ever seen.

Never mind the wholesale disregard of the 6th commandment, both as governor of Texas and President, there's that whole bit about 'it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven'. And the bit in Matthew 6.5-6.6 about praying in secret: 'And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee'

lol @ you responding to the least serious post

:D

That's not necesarily unAmerican. There are other Americans to think the same thing. Plus all those countries would still be in America.

How would you like it to split anyway?

I second that motion.

The normal people can have one section, and we'll ship the extreamists (both left and right) to the other. Then everyone will be happy. Extreamists aren't happy unless they're fighting, and the normal people will be left alone.

I'm glad you put five exclaimation points in your title. Four really wouldn't have gotten the point across...much less only one.

Someone once told me that if America splits, there would be several countries.

East coast and a bunch of guys boardering canada.

West coast and a bunch of guys also boardering Canada

Alaska.

I dunno about Hawaii

And everybody else.

Personally, I think all the Blues should break away from the Reds. They can go preach their moral values to themselves.

Apparently, there're laws against protesting at the state of the union address, and usually no one gets arrested for it or even charged so there are often no law suits about how blatantly unconstitutional and stupid the laws are.

Actually, there aren't.

“We screwed up,” a top Capitol Police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

He said Sheehan didn't violate any rules or laws.



So the officers f****d up.

I consider Truss' dislike & disapproval a badge of honour on NS General.

I thought there were? Hmm, oh well.

In any case, the officers at least were fair about it and removed protest from both sides of the same issue :p


It's not like they jailed tons of protesters in concentration camp esque conditions.

She was removed as was someone else who supported the troops. Why do people make big deals out of something that goes both ways?

That commandment has been ignored almost completely since about Constantine. Bush is just continuing the trend.

I understand some Christians find bisexuality to be morally wrong or something.

Actually, protests on capitol grounds are illegal. She also had a banner with her too that she tried to unfurl as well. Then the Anti-war t-shirt.

Then you have a Congressman's wife being tossed out for wearing a support the troops shirt.

If citizens are getting shat on by the powers that be, the fact that they are getting shat on regardless of their political leanings doesn't help.
