No man is the USA = to make Bush analougous to the USA was the cruelest, yet most effective, cornerstone of the NeoCon power grab. Bush is by far, whether you love him or hate him, the furthest thing from an Average American man possible....but not in the good way like other presidents have been (Where their academics and/or military services or govenorship were exempleary )
bout time says.....
Love Big Brother, he's here to protect you = constant fear mongering by men in stations we were all raised to respect grew this quid pro quo: they're in a position to know, like my forefathers leaders, so we need to trust what they say & be very afraid! If we need to be less free and more monitored , even though we pay our taxes and are a zero level threat not needing the resources to watch me, it is so more than necessary!

The irony of a father's pride & joy on a tank as an avatar on this sort of site = I've done my military service & love my country, but the only thing that has me fearful is what our beutiful angels, our children, will endure because of what we are allowing now.....their bodies will be maimed & blown assunder on foreign soil and/or their fortunes will be severly curtailed because of privatization run rampant.

People this is not funny we are starting to see, how Mr. God in the white house sees himself of grand and omnipotent, this some scare thing I am telling you, not good.
And by the way it goes beyond freedom of speech this is imposing a leader to the ones that did not vote for him.

Maybe you just missed the point. Private organizations and individuals put up these billboards, not Mr. Bush. If it bothers you to drive past one, just remember the song:
Keep your mind on your driving
Keep your hands on the wheel
Keep your beady eyes on the road ahead
Or, take another route.

And Marge, since when is the highway considered "personal space"? I thought that the highway's were for the use of "Public" transportation, not private.

This is a nice opinion, but everyones got one. You're from NY, so you should get it. i am not sure how the NeoCons caused me to love or hate Bush. That is pretty diluted thinking with some paranoia thrown in for good measure.
lighten up, is just a joke but any way I do give the bird when somebody invade my space in the highway.

Saerlaith, I completely agree with you on your points about Clear Channel and what they represent. So, when an elected president's picture is posted on the highway, why is that wrong? Like I said before, if you don't like it, just wait 4 yrs and it'll be replaced by our next tyranical presidnet bent on world domination. That's the beauty of this country, we get to bitch about a new president at least every 8 yrs, sometimes less.
clearchannelsucks.org states....
They outright own the tours of musicians like Janet Jackson, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Madonna and N'Sync. They own the network which airs Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, Casey Kasem, and the Fox Sports Radio Network. With 103,000,000 listeners in the U.S. and 1,000,000,000 globally (1/6 of the world population), this powerful company has grown unchecked, using their monopoly to control the entire music industry. Clear Channel Entertainment (aka SFX, one of their more well-known subsidiaries) owns and operates over 200 venues nationwide. They are in 248 of the top 250 radio markets, controlling 60% of all rock programming.
Clear Channel (legally) bought up hundreds of smaller companies, using broader laws passed by the FCC. And if you go up the food chain, the FCC is populated by friends of the current regime. All perfectly legal, since the laws formerly preventing conflicts of interest and monopolies have been stretched and rewritten since Bush came to power.

But Halo 2 has been a nice diversion for a few weeks

But yeah, under current laws, Clear Channel can put up all the Bush boards they want. And under current law, I can be hauled off to Gitmo for protesting that. A lot of ugliness can happen in 4 years, and that's not counting a creepy billboard of our great leader
