WTF?!Pennsylvania is in America isn't it?
I suppose next the City Councilman will demand that local television stations should be banned from showing the President's picture. After all, those are public airwaves they transmit over. If a picture of the President hanging in a market offends people, imagine how seeing video of him every day must make them feel. Are you kidding me? Have people lost the concept of what the 1st Amendment really says? For those of you who are unfamiliar, here is a refresher course:
Do you see anything in there about only being able to practice your freedom of speech in private? Do you see anything in there about only being able to say something as long as it doesn't offend anyone? No! Now get over yourself! I especially enjoyed the part where the councilman says that he shouldn't be allowed to put up the picture since the state went to John Kerry. So much for minority rights eh?
