5. We just about cross posted. Free speech?

We no longer have it. The government is monitoring the internet, our phone calls and arresting the mothers of fallen heros.

Ironic enough?

7. If this isn't the most ironically Orwellian moment, I don't know what is.

Yet, we have idiots like "Ruggerson" in some other thread claiming Cindy wearing a T-shirt at the speech in honor of all the fallen U.S. Soldiers was a "Publicity Stunt" and that she deserved to be taken away by the authorities. Buy that man a Brown Shirt - Zig Heil!!! Jeebus.

There are idiots in this world, and then there are idiots, you know what I'm saying?

8. Freedom on the frog-march.

9. Ironic, isn't it?

[tyedyeto]

10. It's only a democracy when a country votes for those....

this administration wants them to. When the 'wrong' party or candidate' is elected, they are no longer democratic.

11. Maybe she'll get to wear it on the floor of the Senate!

[ddeclue]

12. How about "Bill of Rights" t-shirts?

How about we all get t-shirts with the Bill of Rights on them and select a nationwide day to wear them? I mean - Given how the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Seventh Amendment, Eighth Amendment, Ninth Amendment, and Tenth Amendment have all been thrown out the window by the Bush administration?
