    An example of another dense hardheaded rightie.
    Move on nothing to see here folks.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    Good one. People should take notice.

    Apparently the righties think they do not have to go by the rules. They are good whiners though.

    I keep thinking of that study that showed that whiney children grow up to be conservatives.

    k, maybe someone could actually cite what law or ordnance was being broken by that poster being on school grounds, since the two officers there couldn't.

    and trespassing charge? I'd have challenged that officer on the spot.

    Actually, it is very much the America we had to suffer through under the previous administration. Are you forgetting the greatly-expanded "free-speech zones" ? They were used here in Pgh. every time bush visited. I'm sure you were just as vehemently opposed to the idea back then, too.

    "Free speech zones were commonly used by President George W Bush after the September 11, 2001 attacks and through the 2004 election. Free speech zones were set up by the Secret Service, who scouted locations where the U.S. president was scheduled to speak, or pass through. Officials targeted those who carried anti-Bush signs and escorted them to the free speech zones prior to and during the event. Reporters were often barred by local officials from displaying these protesters on camera or speaking to them within the zone.[3][4] Protesters who refused to go to the free speech zone were often arrested and charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct and/or resisting arrest.[16][17] A seldom-used federal law making it unlawful to "willfully and knowingly to enter or remain in ... any posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted area of a building or grounds where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting" has also been invoked."

    Sure she has forgotten them. She screams about our rights being taken away and that, too was started in previous administrations!

    We just watch them march away, one by one...

    That is sort of strange that the officer responded "Not anymore".
    There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

    finding out now that this guy isn't a cop, he's school security.

    SECURITY? WTF is he doing enforcing non existent laws? Was he issued a gun?

    When I ran my caucus at the local high school I was informed that NO posters were to be placed on anything, you could hold them but not put them up anywhere.


    It was to keep the school clean of political posters that the staff would then have to remove.

    Because this school officer could not state the law very well deosnt mean anything that you claim it does.
