Nicole and Jeffrey Rank from West Virginia were handcuffed, arrested, fingerprinted, and briefly jailed for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts at an Independence Day speech the president gave in 2004.
After the couple had been removed, Bush told the crowd: "On this Fourth of July, we confirm our love of freedom, the freedom for people to speak their minds. ... Free thought, free expression, that's what we believe."

Reminds me of the name of the column written by local author Roland C. Eyers, "Everyone's Entitled to My Own Opinion."
