Bush etc.

Yes, I disappeared for a while. Planning a wedding will do that. I am getting worried with the current state of affairs after having read two articles today. One pointed to 'Kill Bush' tshirts on Cafe Press. I clicked through the tshirt in the news article to see what the fine print was and it had already been removed from Cafe Press who noted that they will not allow 'hateful' messages on their site. Then I read that the Secret Service was visiting a college art show in Chicago where a student created a mock stamp with a picture of Bushy with a gun to his head. So much for creative expression and freedom of speech! Apparently some other college student got a visit from the Secret Service after having drawn an image of Bush's head on a stick or something. Are you kidding me? I thought that was part of the fun of America...to be able to say what you feel with out worrying about the men in black coming for a visit. Sheesh.

This isn't America...at least, not to East Coast Liberals. The US has been taken over in the last twenty years by a swing towards the religious right. Now, you're free, so long as you believe what the religious right believes. Pro-Life, Pro-Firearm, Anti-Gay, Anti-Women's Rights, Pro-Religion, Pro-Censorship...kinda scary, really.
