“There should be rules,’’ says Polite.

Dude, you're on the City Council. You want a rule? Propose it at the next City Council meeting, don't try intimidation. You're not very good at it.

Let's see, we've got the bogus notion of separation of church and state. I guess he wants separation of ... what? Politics and state? Personality and state? Republicans and state?

Isn't this intolerant hate speech on the part of Councilman Polite? I'm sure it is. Perhaps the State AG should investigate this virulent hate speech.

Great shot. There are apparently two official portraits of W used in Federal offices. This first one I cannot stand. The second is much better.

Flap erupts over photos of Bush at market stand - Democrat City Councilman Nelson Polite says the photos are inappropriate in a public place.

He feels it’s important to pass a law regarding hanging a picture of The President of the United States?

Democrats sure love totalitarianism.

And the Democrats don't understand why the Republicans are winning despite themselves...

Personally I'm offended by the FDR Memorial that is here in DC, especially today.

I believe that George W. Bush is President of the United States. “If it were Kerry that won, he’d be up there,’’ says Stoltzfus, who operates the Upper Crust stand.

Don't believe this is a political statement by David Stoltzfus.

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

[H]e will ask City Council to change the law so that all political items would be banned in public places.
Go ahead. Make our day.

“There should be rules,’’ says Polite.

There are rules, Mr. Polite. The highest authority in the USA, the "biggest rules", are embodied in the U.S. Constitution. I cannot imagine a more direct violation of the right to free speech and free press than the ban you suggest. You should be immediately removed from office for even suggesting such a thing as an elected official. To do so would be not only heinous in its illegality, but monumentally offensive to freedom-loving Americans everywhere.

Resign your office and hang your pathetic head in shame, Mr. Polite.

Do you think he has or had a picture of Bill Clinton in his office? That is also public property. There should be rules!

Because it is bad form to post peoples home phone numbers on this site. Something about bad press and stuff like that.

Of course that's just my opinion.

I'm telling you folks, these people are truly your enemies. They hate you, your family, your religion, your life, your car, your house, everything about you. They will never like you or want to like you. They hate you for existing. Unless you are a liberal / leftist / communist / socialist, you are their enemies. Being an American means nothing to these people. They care nothing about being "American." They only care about their socialist wants and needs. They are just like the Soviets. They would rather see you DEAD if you are not RED. If you don't believe that, you need to examine the playing field again. One day, this will all blow up in another civil war. The left vs. the right. They hate you that much. Never forget that. They HATE YOU!

"Democrat City Councilman Nelson Polite"


The EPITOME of Girly-Man names! And he salivates well when he hears the VRWC bell ring!

Here Nelson! Here Nelson! Let me tell you about private property. No--YOU roll over. Play dead.

There are several excellent anti-ACLU pro-Conservative legal groups that come right to mind--

Rutherford Institute
Pacific Justice Institute
American Center for Law and Justice
Liberty Alliance
for starters....

"Obviously Polite is another strong supporter of 1st amendment rights. We ought to FReep his a$$.",

Done, here's mine
"From Lancasteronline.com 12/3/2004 “The market is public property and displaying political paraphernalia, no matter what the intent, says Polite, is inappropriate and divisive.”

So displaying a political sticker on an automobile on a public road (public property) in Lancaster is what?

You’re being ridiculous.

A reminder: “

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”"
