A Tale of Two T-Shirts

Call it the tale of two different shirts worn by two very different women:

A well-known peace activist who has agitated the White House and a lawmaker's wife who has staunchly supported the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

One, Cindy Sheehan was forcefully removed, handcuffed, arrested and jailed. The other, Beverly Young, wife of 18-term Republican U.S. Representative Bill Young of Florida was asked to leave, but was not arrested.

Gee. Do you think their politics had anything to do with why they were treated differently? And, beyond that, why the heck should either of them have been removed from the auditorium for either T-shirt?

Our trusty prez just told us how he's protecting our rights and freedoms--while he continues to illegally spy on us. This is why we can't allow our government to usurp our rights and powers. They have proven they cannot be trusted--over and over and over again.
