Duke says she thinks the guards were looking for pro-life pins in the wake of the March for Life.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is what they were doing.

In any case they should be disciplined or fired.

This is so unfortunate. The couple of instances I saw security guards the day of the March, they were completely professional. They did ask for the signs to be left outside but never said a word about the 4 pro-life buttons I had pinned to my coat.

"The pin, they informed me, was a 'religious symbol' and a symbol of a particular political cause and it could not be worn inside a federal building," Duke continues.

This canNOT be the whole story. If it is, we're already over the falls.

I'm starting to wear my little feet pin everywhere these days.

But just for admission of wrongdoing, and the guards losing their jobs. If you go for money, we will all pay for it.

No, it is the guards who have been traumatized. There they were, good union men, napping away at their posts, when suddenly they were confronted by a pro-lifer, probably a Christian, likely a conservative, and maybe even a Republican. Imagine the horror.

SHE NEEDS TO SUE!! Money is the only thing these morons understand. If people start routinely suing for these types of things - only then will they get the message. SUE!!

Hm, I think I may have to pay a little visit to the National Gallery this weekend. Fully decked in pro-life pins and my own crosses and religious medals. Let’s see what happens.

I think I'll pull mine out and start wearing it. Because I will be only too happy to sue anyone who interferes with my right to wear a pro-life pin!

What, the 300,000 they saw last week wasn't enough?

Investigate where these bright lights got their inspiration to do this. I'll bet it goes up towards Rahm or one of his boot-licking sycophants. 'Cause pro-lifers are proving to be the Kryptonite to his daddy's magical healthcare trip.

Pro-Life-Pin-Gate-alert.

They should be smacked on the back of their numb skulls. I work in a Federal building and I have Ephesians 6:10-18 on a shield on my office wall. There is no Federal rule against this stuff being present. The guards should be fired, for being idiots, if for no other reason because they are going to shoot some kid with a cap gun.

Fired???!!! A federal employee???!!!

There is no way on earth to fire a federal employee. Unless he's a Republican...

Let's get ourselves over the outmoded idea that federal employees work for us -- the citizens. They, in fact, work for the Democrat party.

They do not allow ANY Political Signs of any kind in the Museums,when we attempted to go into Air and Space Museum after the 9-12 March they would not allow any signs in either

The Precious Feet pin, one could argue, is not a political or religious statement of any kind, but rather a work of art unto itself. It’s an accurate reproduction of a pre-born baby’s feet at 10 weeks of age. When a person looks at those feet, it’s up to them how they interpret it and what it gets them thinking about. You are not making any statement other than to visually present a reality.
