So they are arresting people for protesting in Crawford TX, but in Iraq we
are fighting for the the democratic rights of the Iraqi people? Can somebody
tell me why this is not hypocrisy and why our "liberal media" is not screaming
about this?




Is not the right to peacefully assemble and protest not guaranteed by the
Constitution? And do the people in Crawford who enacted the no camping in
the ditch law really think their little law will stop the landslide of anti bush and
anti war feelings? Bet ya they go to church, wave the flag, and consider themselves
real patriots. But to me the real patriots are Cindy Sheehan and company.

2. Yeah, but
If that group of campers was set up in Iraq, they'd soon enough get a US Air Force bombing run sent their way, eh?
================

Indeed, the very freedoms so many soldiers did sacrifice themselves for: The Right of Free Speech, is being denied and outlawed at the pretzeldented's raunch. Where is the outrage? Indeed, is there truly a free press? I think not.

I wonder, how close are the tyrants of the world getting to my little ditch and to the time they arrest me for exercising my free speech?
