Grandmother Escorted From Polling Center Because Of Button - Colorado

[MA-Caver]

It has nothing to do with freedom of speech.
It has do with the law. There is no campaining allowed in the plling area - most places that I am familair with say no campaining within 100 feet.
She broke the law and paid a price.
The fact that she is a "grandmother" also has nothing to do with it. Why should someone who is a "grandmother" be allowed to break the law?

Also, take that same grandmother and send her back to the same poll wearing a button that says "fight terrorism" and you have the liberal left screaming about it.

Well geez might as well all not say ANYTHING at all and just be big ole' dumb cows then huh?

They defended the American Nazi party. Can't get much more right wing than that.

That, of course, depends on which limited two-dimension political spectrum you use. I don't think I would put them in with libertarians, equality of right (as opposed to equality of outcome), and laissez faire capitalists.

One thing's for sure the flawed line spectrum sure gets abused a lot.

It would be nice if something like the political compass below was used to help describe where people stand politically. Maybe something kind of like this:

I doubt that the person would have been escorted if she wore a peace sign or a button that simply said "Peace", or even if she wore a button that said "Fight Terrorism."

"Grandmothers for Peace" is an established political action group that campaigns for a set agenda. As is Greenpeace, the Gun Owners Action League, and the Christian Coaltion.

At least I am on top.
