OK! Now this just makes my blood boil. Since when is supporting our troops a "political" statement. Supporting our troups has nothing to do with political positioning. Whether you agree with the war on terror or not, you still support the men and weomen that are defending your country. Bicker and fight over the propiety of the war all you want, but do not call caring for our troops "political" statements.

<sarcasm> I could call support for breast cancer research a "political" statement, because I believe the money could be better spent providing abortions to unwed mothers. <End>

I don't hear anyone at U of O calling the display of stickers supporting homosexuality, beastiality, or blow-up-doll-ality as being "political" statements, when they obviously would be such.

If the U of O administration honestly thinks that displaying a sticker supporting our boys that are fighting and dying for our freedom (and the freedom of the Iraqi people), would constitute a "political" statememnt; then they need to have I hate my country branded on their foreheads, for all to wittness their hatred of America.

The left marches on!

KEZI-TV in Oregon reports that a maintenance worker at the University of Oregon was forced to remove “Support The Troops” stickers from his truck because they were deemed political statements.

The worker, Pete Baker, had the stickers on his trucks for months but was forced to remove them after an employee on campus complained last week.
