Is it illegal to flip off the Resident?
Just wondering. He will be flying right over my farm tomorrow and they come in low to land right over the barn and I want to run out and flip him off. I hung a banner on top of the barn that says Re-Defeat Bush* but it is pretty small and looks pretty amateurish. Severe storms are possible so it may not be there by morning. I am going to flip him off anyway but I wondered if it was illegal.

1. Absolutely illegal

Would you like a hacksaw or a file in the cake I bring when I visit you at Guantanamo? :shrug:

Nah....I dunno, although in these days of Bush*, nothing would surprise me.

5. That was why I asked.
He is so damned touchy and if I went to the event I would be stuck away in a Free Speech Zone. It isn't much but it will feel good.

8. I flipped off the president and I'm not in Guantanamo.
It was very satisfying, in fact.

9. You know Agent Mike is watching DU?
You soon will be in Guantanamo.

Make sure to pack some sunscreen. ;)

4. I don't think so.
Although that still probably wouldn't stop Bush from trying to harm you in some way.

Personally, if I ever had the displeasure of meeting him I'd spit in his face and then turn my back to him. Bush, to me, isn't even a human being. No real human can be so heartless and cruel -- he is a freak of nature -- an amoral animal not worthy of decency or respect.

7. I consider spitting an assault, too...
You want to argue with me? That's cool. You want to expel bodily fluids on my face or some other part of my person (intentionally only)? So not cool.

11. Weeeelll!
I'm sure it could be debated whether or not it was an accident or not. I mean this is after all the country where a woman was able to sue because she spilled her hot coffee on herself, and complained because it wasn't labeled.

I'd just counter sue Bush for emotional trauma, emotional harassment, and emotional abuse. After all he is telling the country that, because I am gay, I am less than a citizen of a nation that I was born in. He did send my Brother In Law off to a war in Iraq. He causes me considerable embarrassment every time he opens his mouth. I find that the majority of the actions he does despicable, deplorable, inhuman, indecent, amoral, unjust, questionably legal, and flat out evil.

I wonder who'd have the stronger case? ;) The poor guy who got spit on, which was a direct result of my emotional state due to prolonged abuse by a vile man, or a young man who has been emotionally tortured over the course of three and a half years. A young man who has been imprisoned within his own country, and made out to be a criminal and a second class citizen by his own elected officials -- which even the term "elected" can be brought into dispute!

:P

10. LOL on the barn banner!
:thumbsup:

reminds me of that movie with Kirsten Dunst where they hung a banner for Nixon to see after his departure from the WH. It read, "You suck Dick"......which is kinda appropriate for the Chimp in Charge, too.

:evilgrin:
