It's almost cliched to talk about all the ways the conservative movement yaks about free enterprise and competition and then does everything it can to make markets unfree.
But I found this one particularly interesting. Apparently in Louisianna and Oklahoma, the states have passed laws banning the use of names of armed forces personnel who have been killed in combat on products like t-shirts and bumper stickers. There have been two bills introduced into the House this year to ban such products nationwide.
Apparently, it's ok for Fox News to use public airwaves to say whatever misleading things they want, but a t-shirt manufacturer can't sell a t-shirt saying Bush Lied, They Died.
Of course, these lovely t-shirts are ok by the conservative kingmakers. And I'm sure everyone in the military feels this way.
