You really have to marvel at what they must put in the water in the Granola State.

Display Stirs Controversy In Land Park
Soldier's Uniform Hangs From Noose In Front Of Home
POSTED: 7:58 am PST February 9, 2005
UPDATED: 12:47 pm PST February 9, 2005
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Nestled in a quiet Sacramento neighborhood is a very loud political statement that is testing the very foundation of the right to free speech.
Hanging from a house in Land Park, a soldier's uniform in a noose dangles from a rooftop. The words "your tax dollars at work" are scrolled across the chest.

Funny how this 'pap speak' describes a uniform hanging rather than saying a soldier hung in effigy. |

If the people would just do something like hang flags or other patriotic symbols rather than just b****ing about it then perhaps would overcome what the nuts are doing rather than bringing their actions to the forefront. That is exactly what those candidates for Canadian citizenship want - publicity.

I guess I could goto the local planned parenthood and scrounge the dumpster behind the building for fetal material and place it in a large jar on my front yard with the label Mary, Johnny, Timmy, Julie....Your Tax Dollars at Work. _________________ "An activist is the person who cleans up the water, not the one claiming its dirty."

IB, that old part of town is called "south land park" there aint no north,east or west. At one time(60 years ago) it was an affluent part of sac. Of course its a part of town where nobody goes ( including blacks) because it has gotten so bad, it only serves as a bad example for all involved.-----it is such a small area! _________________ MOPAR-BUYER |

Can we find out where these folks are employed (if at all) and ensure we let the employers know how we feel and that a boycott of their business is next? A flanking movement could let them know how inappropriate their behavior is and how it should be treated.

Exactly what is hate speech? What would happen if I hung a manikin from my house holding on to the green & yellow colors of the gay community?

CWV,
Good question without good answers. The ACLU will defend your right to fly Swatikas but not US flags. The concept of 'right thinking people' has gone by the wayside. The world's turned upside down.
The OJ chase inspired the moonbats. They took to hanging painted sheets and cardboard on overpasses expressing whatever came to mind. CalTrans regularly removed these displays because they were obvious hazards and they didn't comply with Lady Bird's Highway Beautification Act. So, of course they got sued. The case found itself before the 9th Judicial Circus in April 2003. They found that the banners were protected political speech. Equity demanded that if CalTrans removed the signage/graffiti they likewise had to remove all US flags from CalTrans property. There could be no preference in political speech. If unpopular expression had to be removed the popular could not be exempt. Just how they co-value traffic hazards with the US ensign above a government installation reveals a truly irrational radicalism. |

My mistake the GAY flag is not green & yellow. It is rainbow and you can buy it now on EBay for $10 bucks.
