Feminists given the boot at a Bush rally for committing the high crime of wearing a tee shirt

Apparently, if you don't wear the right clothes, then you're just less of a citizen.

Barbara Miller’s pro-choice T-shirt was confiscated as they attempted to enter Wendler Arena to hear President Bush speak at a rally, The Saginaw News reports. Later, after the Miller family had been seated, the same campaign worker who had taken their shirt arrived with a coworker and a security guard to escort the family out before the rally began.

According to The Saginaw News, Theresa Miller, 19, was wearing a Feminist Majority T-shirt with the slogan "This is what a feminist looks like" printed on the front. "I'm not an American? I can't see my president?" Theresa asked, according to The Saginaw News. Her mother added, "This is democracy under Bush."

Yes, democracy... Remember that dinosaur?
