Freedom of speech is a myth under Bush

Bush spoke of spreading freedom and democracy around the world in his SOTU speech last night. Funny that while he was discussing freedom, Cindy Sheehan was arrested because of her T-shirt. I understand that a supreme court ruling in 1971 regarded message t-shirts as free speech.
So, in one evening Bush violated the 1st and 4th amendments. To refresh your memories (from The Constitution Explained website):
1st Amendment protects the people's right to practice religion, to speak freely, to assemble (meet), to address the government and of the press to publish. The 4th amendment protects people from the government improperly taking property, papers or people, without a valid warrant based on probable cause (good reason).
I am very, very angry about the direction our country is headed in....to hell in a handbasket!
