I don’t dislike Bush’s policies enough to risk being arrested because I was using my right to free speech in a public area. That happened here a couple years ago (before the election campaign) The guy was outside a building in which Bush was speaking holding a placard and it was an area in which all and sundry were pernited, including those who were there for reasons totally unrelated to Bush being there. However, he was told to leave by the Praetorian Guard (Secret Service) and foolishly thought he had a right to free speech in this country. Now it would have been one thing if he had tried his protesting in an area that had been restricted to only Bush supporters, but that wasn’t the nature of the area at all. That said, had the President been a Democrat, I’m sure the Praetorian Guard would have been just as obnoxious. I applaud them for protecting the President’s person, but their job description should not include prtecting him from hearing discouraging words.
You're pretty rebel today.
