Earlier this week, an Oklahoma City man was pulled over by local police for a sign affixed to the rear of his vehicle that read "Abort Obama Not the Unborn". The sign was confiscated as possibly threatening to the President, and the Secret Service dropped by his house for a little chat. Soon it was acertained that the man and his sign was no threat to the POTUS, and he was reunited with his sign.
Now I'm foursquare in favor of keeping our President safe, but two things are troubling in this case. First of all, the man has a 1st Amendment right to free speech and that includes witty signs about the President. As for the sign being construed as a threat, that is simply not possible...because as we all know: abortion isn't murder, it's a choice. Not only was the poor man's free speech infringed, but his freedom of choice was stripped away as well. His bod...er...bumper, his choice.
I'm sure the ACLU is thumbing through the phonebook for this man's number as we speak.
