Fascism at the SOTU

"Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get 'em up against the wall." -Roger Waters in "The Wall"

Whether you hate Cindy Sheehan with sinscere passion and think she's part of a great pinko conspiracy or you think she's the greatest thing since cel phones; We should all note this little act of betrayal to our constitution by our government.

From www.pnionline.com:

"Did you know that in 1971, the Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional to arrest a man who wore a "F--- the Draft" T-shirt into the courthouse? (Cohen v. California) So now Alito's on the court for 45 minutes and your civil liberties are already going down the toilet. You were warned."

Somebody at Daily Kos suggested that every American who's appalled by what happened tonight should -- on the same day -- wear a T-shirt that reads "2,245 Dead -- How Many More?? to work, school, church, court (by day's end, perhaps) or wherever we need to be. It's our right, after all."

Indeed.
