Pro-Bush pizza shop given some heat to go (IT'S FREEPIN' TIME TO GET INVOLVED!)
The Boston Globe Online ^ | July 24, 2004 | Heather Allen

A 24-foot-long ''Go Bush" banner hanging on a pizza shop across from the FleetCenter has drawn plenty of attention amid preparations for the Democratic National Convention this week. But yesterday, a city inspector stopped by and slapped Halftime Pizza with a citation for hanging an unlicensed banner.

Luis, as a friend I feel I need to point out that Virgil is saying some things you should be aware of. In 198 he write:

Boy, you're really in love with the strawman you've created out of Luis's post #122. You gonna marry him?

Somehow he thinks you would want to marry a member of your same sex. I do not think this is true nor is it proper for Virgil to make such assertions.

Virgil, I think you should take it back and apologize to Luis.

Just because he refuses to acknowledge the US is his home or mother-country despite being a citizen does not mean he is the way you indicate.

I never claimed Luis is gay, nor do I care.

But the loving you're giving your strawman tallhappy, gives me doubts as to your sexual orientation.

Do you, by chance, have a friend named Mr. Hat?

And where the hell did you get the "Virgil" thing?

Seeing as I have been here as long, or longer than you have, I am no newbie nor am I a troll. I am just a monthly supporter who would prefer we kept the forum reasonably clean.

I am in total agreement with Mr. Pasquale and am sorry to see the thread go off on the hand gesture. However, those of us with certain moral standards feel compelled to defend them, even as we feel compelled to defend conservatism, Bush, mom and apple pie.

Uhhh...ok. If you say so, you got me on that one.

I'd love to stay online all night and argue with you over your senseless posts, but a thunderstorm draws near, and the lightning is popping awful close.

Mr./Mrs./Ms.tallhappy, I bid you goodnight.

Watched on C-SPAN as the owner of this establishment was interviewed. He declared he IS a Bush Man.

How about all of us that are not in the Boston area do a distance FREEP by "ordering" a pizza from this guy (not to be delivered of course) and send him $10.00 (or whatever) to help him cover this week's closing?

Help!

I'd be delighted to and thanks for the heads-up :-)

I'll be sending this fine American some cash to assist with any damage/fines and will also call the Mayor's office tomorrow to object to abuse of his right to free speech. I believe this gent's sign is EXACTLY the type of free speech our Founding Fathers intended... not the virtual child porn that was recently deemed free speech by the Supremes.

Looking forward to making that call in the morning and thanks again :-)

Thanks for the thread on this, you have garnered a great deal of help and support for an admirable American who truly needs and deserves it.

Regarding the ridiculous harrassment you've received regarding your choice of graphic? Folks are free to dislike it, but many here descended to the level of petty attacks and insults.

And either some folks are as dumb as stumps or they deliberately misunderstand your statements and are playing head games... either way, not worth your time.

Thanks again for helping us assist this gent in Boston :-)

"Regarding the ridiculous harrassment you've received regarding your choice of graphic? Folks are free to dislike it, but many here descended to the level of petty attacks and insults."

You and Luis are above petty attacks and insults? Give me a break. To people who disagree with him, Luis is one of the most insulting posters on these threads and you're not far behind him. His personal attacks and petty comments to those who would criticize him deservedly beget more of the same.

Profanity isn't petty, and it is also not protected speech. A society that resorts to its common use eventually degenerates into a society which not only permits the pornography you are fighting, but oppresses truly protected free speech from fine citizens and patriots like Mr. Pasquale. Of course people like you aren't bright or intellectually honest enough to understand the connection.

I was already well aware of Mr. Pasquales predicament. He will receive a donation from me despite Luis, not because of him.

Incidentally, it is possible to both support Mr. Pasquale and his first amendment rights and to attack Luis's profane picture.

Hey Jim.

You would have suspended me by now if I had done one tenth of what this poster has done to me on this thread, what's the deal?

You mean the profane picture designed by US vets that Luis used, don't you?

"Profanity isn't petty, and it is also not protected speech."

And since when did you become Judge, Jury and executioner?

If Six Flags plays it right the Dancing Guy will be a cultural icon for this generation.

I apologize for bumping into your ivory tower. You really need to sit down and listen to yourself sometime... your entire post was almost word-for-word what I get from a neighbor Greenie when he's on one of his Politically Correct rants.

Did the vets make you post it too?

Stop trying to pass the buck.

Vets or not vets, we are all capable of doing wrong.

Funny, that's exactly what I thought about your post, which was far more offensive than mine. I think it is you who needs to take a good look at yourself sweetie and the things you write.

As hard as I may try, Tamsey is far, far better at it than am I.
