Secret Service now investigating someone for an "anti-Obama" bumper sticker!  Very scary.

What a crock of $#it!!!! I don't care to get into political discussions too much but I'll express my feelings on this one. For starters, the gentleman's rights the freedom of speech were clearly violated, but what really bothers me is that the SS was present at his home and asked to do a 'walk-through' to make sure he wan't involved with a hate group?!?!?!? What kind of right do they have to interfere, investigate, and search this US citizens home after the mans rights were violated to begin with???????? Did he break a law???......No he didn't,...he was exercising his right to speak freely,..or in this case, expess his feelings with a sign on his personal vehicle. I could understand the SS being concernned if this gentleman had a prior record of "hate-crimes"/civil disputes etc., etc., but I feel they had no right to even ask him to if they could perform a "walk-through" if in fact he does not have any back ground with this particular type of,..."crime"?!?!?!?!? Is it illegal to say that you hate someone?!? If I said that I hate some high ranking government official, does that neccesarily mean I'm threatenning him or her. I think not!!! There are probably quite a few congressmen and congresswomen that we'd be better off not haveing around and wasteing our tax-money to fund their over-paid salaries. If you drive down the interstate and see someone with a Calvin takeing a leak on the image of the president or your state senator window sticker,...does that mean you are a threat to that person,...no it does not,...It means you just don't like them very much,....and probably for very good reason. Just more of the same politically correct BS chokeing the life blood and fiber from the rights of every American citizen that our beloved Fore-Fathers blessed our great country with. The same crap that our over-zealous leaders are trying to strip from us every day. That is a scarey thought!!! God Bless America,....even if we are cursed with the 'out of touch' idiots running our country. tjk
PS I'm finished venting now, and I apologize if I hurt anyone's tender feelings.

... and on a similiar vein ... check out this little tidbit that was referenced on the RAF Forum this morning, showing how far the "Police State Mentality" has now crept back in the UK ...

I'm all for Obama, AND freedom of speech. There must be something more than an anti-Obama sticker involved.

I have an anti-Palin sticker on my family's truck.

You will be probably be getting a visit very soon, but with a reward.
Its not who you are against any more, its who your for.
As long as people blindly follow with the status quo, they will be
considered a "good ol' boy".
The second you call it as it is, bull, then
that is exactly what is on your back, A bulls eye for hack politicians to target.

Sometime I wish I could say how I really feel about things here...:) I would be tarred and feathered quickly and my house burned down..:) or better yet the Secret Service would hall me away until the next election..:)

What is any different now than 50 years ago when bumper stickers like that were on cars and trucks about other presidents. What's so special about Obama that we cannot put bumper sticker slogan's on our cars and trucks today. Can someone explain this...:)
