HONK IF YOU LOVE DEMOCRACY

An Eastpointe, Illinois, man was accosted by police in nearby Ferndale on July 10, and then handcuffed, and thrown into jail. Was he a terrorist? An escaped criminal? A drunk who had barged into church and grabbed the offering?

No. Fifty-five-year-old Victor Kittila was just standing quietly by the side of the road. He even had all his clothes on. He also was holding a sign that read siimply, "Honk if you want Bush Out."

Police say holding the sign was not illegal, but they seized it and charged Kittila with disorderly conduct because "asking people to honk was becoming too noisy in an already busy part of town..."

HAW HAW HAW...Is freedom of speech alive and well in this country, or what?
