Ramblings and Rants From An UnCensored Woman

A Little Too Far

Ok, so the Freeman case has made the news again. I disagree with the ACLU's statement that we have violated her religious freedoms by requiring her to lift her veil for an ID photo. Hey,, babe..driving is a priviledge, not a god-given right. CNN reports that she was given the option of having her picture taken in a private room, with a only a female officer present. Freeman also cited this "attack on her religious freedom" when the social workers came to investigate repoted bruises on the foster children in her care. This woman, in my opinion, is an outright jackass. I truly believe that Ashcroft is whittling away our inaliable rights...and this type of person is getting major press for infringements that are her own choice. She provides a lack of credibility to any other foreign person with a case against Ashcroft's wannabe police state...CNN also did a nice job of comparing our policies on the veil issue with other Muslim countries.
Here's my final question...only I would notice this!...she cannot show her face....but she can wear eyeliner? I don't get it!
