Anti-Recuiting

http://www.progressive.org/mag_mc101305

A perfect example of a first amendment violation. A student at a university who is also an air force veteran stood several feet in front of a recruiting table at a job fair with a sign on chest saying, "Recruiters Lie, Don't Be Deceived." He was told he needed a permit to be at the job fair, he said I’m just standing here as a student at my own university, I don’t need a permit. So he was arrested for exercising his freedom of speech, which is a felony in the United States of Bush. The university is conducting an investigation and may drop the charges. Obviously the ACLU has stood up to defend the student. There was the start of a clash between the anti-war Air Force vet and a Marine that had just gotten back from Iraq. I want to make an insulting comment about the intelligence of the flyboys vs. the jarheads, but that would be rude. And I’m not a big fan of insulting people who are trained to inflict pain without remorse. The battle is not over, the tides are turning. Its like a Rocky movie, we've been getting beatin on by the big russian guy of a few rounds, he seems not even human, when finially the under dog starts wearing him down and the hostile crowd swings cause of the undeniable heart of Rocky. Its been a long fight but were not down yet, and the big russian is starting to wobble, he hasn't hit the mat yet but hes hurting. We still need to land the big right hook to drop him for good, we may need to wait till the 2006 elections to take the congress back before we can get a ten count. I have not yet begun to fight.
