And these three Oregon school teachers who were kicked out of a Bush rally last week for simply wearing T-shirts that said -- hold on, this is the subversive part -- "Protect Our Civil Liberties":

And yes, really, that's all these women did.  They expressed support for their own freedom... to express support for their own freedom.  And for that they were hauled away.  This was too dangerous to allow near the president, who's important because he's busy protecting our freedom.

AAAAAGGHHHH!  Irony overload!  AAAAAGGHHHH!

So... which country would you rather live in?

(Thanks to reader Chris for the tip.  Also, thanks to Kevin at the Washington Monthly for pointing me to Digby's blog, which had a shorter, earlier post.  Digby, in turn, points to Common Dreams, who point to KGW, which is... yes, the original source of the link I got from Chris.  Escher would have loved the 'net.)
