See post 10.

Citizens have complained. The cops are doing their job.

I have no problem with the sheriff.

So, if you had a sign that said something bad about Obama and the sheriff told you to remove it, you would be screaming “Free speech” and you would be right. It’s only hard to protect free speech when you don’t agree with it.

I'm not going to waste my effort on arguing this...I think it's despicable...but there is plenty of precedent.

The use of the "f" word in this situation is a perfect example of free speech.

He has not stood on a street corner, screaming it at a bunch of pre-schoolers, he has not blasted it from his truck windows in a trash rap situation, he has simply displayed a bumper sticker that has offended some folks that are not really offended by the obscene connotation of the word, in and of itself, but the fact that he would display it, period.

Tough.

Because if I chose to display a "F" Hillary bumper sticker, which is my right...I'd fight to the death over it.

The most I've done (and still have displayed) is a sticker of "Calvin" urinating on the word "Obama".

I've gotten numerous outraged protestations from liberal snowflakes over it and even been accused of racism...but I will defend it under all circumstances.

This the United States of America...I shed my blood on the shores of a foreign country in defense (however misguided) of the US Constitution and all Amendments, thereto.

I will defend this cretins right to display a harmless, if tasteless, bumper sticker.

And for me, now, this subject is closed.
