Go to one of Dubya's public appearances, carrying a sign displaying your polite, non-profane, but firmly-held displeasure with the President.

Watch as you and those expressing similar sentiments are ordered to move to a designated "First Amendment Zone," too far away to be seen or heard, while pro-Dubya attendees are allowed to remain up close.

Refuse to move, on the grounds that the entire nation is a "First Amendment Zone."

Watch what happens.

Whoopee do. In 1960 I took a nixon sign (I know, I know) to a Kennedy rally. Black eye, bloody nose, torn clothing and a very pissed off mother. What's new?
