Cop Forces Town Hall Protester to Take Down Anti-Obama Sign

"It ain't [America] no more, okay?"

So amazingly said a police officer at a town hall meeting in Reston, Virginia, Tuesday when he refused to allow a protester to display an anti-ObamaCare sign (pictured right).

I kid you not.

If we had an honest media in America, the following video would have been broadcast repeatedly over the past few days to demonstrate how free speech in our nation is indeed under attack (h/t Gary G. Howell):

Shocking.

Rush Limbaugh was quite right Wednesday when he told Fox News's Glenn Beck, "It is the most dangerous time in my life for freedom and liberty in this country."

It certainly is.

Too bad we currently have a media unwilling to report such tyranny and too stupid to understand that these restrictions to free speech will eventually affect them as well. 

*****Update: As a point of clarification, it has been discovered that the officer in question, Wesley Cheeks Jr., is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools' trained School Security Officer team and not a police officer.
