Polite approached Stoltzfus on Nov. 12 and ask him to remove the pictures. The standholder has refused to do so, prompting Polite to say he will ask City Council to change the law so that all political items would be banned in public places.

Polite says political items do not belong in Central Market and if Stoltzfus refuses to take down the photos, he’ll take the matter before City Council to get the city law changed to ban all political items in public places.

“There should be rules,’’ says Polite.


And when re-election time comes I am sure Polite will not put up any campaign material or signs in public places. After all, "there should be rules."

Of course, as politicians have done since the beginning of time, he will have the law written to exempt politicans campaign material.

Everyone who does business with Polite should refuse to accept presidential pictures from his wallet!

Even if Kerry had won, he’d be asking Stoltzfus to take the photos down, says Polite.

Yeah. Right. Sure.

Let them keep on turning off potential and existing Democrats. They keep up this behavior and they'll be the minority party forever..

Another liberal attempt at censorship, but they're too stupid to even realize it. If the city council overturns it, let's organize a fund to supply the owner with a year's supply of tees with the President's picture on it.

What the hell? This sounds like those "separation of church and state" fanatics almost. Of course you can make political statements in public. We have a first amendment! If you don't like it, don't buy from him.

Another telephone call to make. What is this councilman/idiot's phone number? Or better yet, his fax number. I want to fax him a portrait of President Bush.

There are rules. The US Constitution bans bills of attainder. I believe most state constitutions do also.

Doesn’t matter, says City Councilman Nelson Polite. “It should come down. This is a public market.”

Hey Nelson, go see a doctor and have your head removed from your colon! STAT!

K - here's what I sent...

Mr. Polite,

Regarding your comments about the President's photos in the Central Market baked-goods stand - the last time I checked, this was not a fascist state. Perhaps you would be more comfortable if you moved to one.

Merry Christmas!

If this was 60 years ago I'd venture a guess and Councilman Polite would be just another dipsh!t NAZI instead of today where he is just another dipsh!t neo-nazi

It's really very simple. If you don't like the way the man's business is presented. Don't patronize it. It's the American Way. Of course, more and more, the American way has become, "if you don't like how somebody does something, sue them to get your way."
