Banned in Dracut

There was recent news out of some county in Wisconsin where the Republicans have been banned from the Labor Day Parade. 

Now comes Dracut disinviting the Republican Town Committee, as a Committee, from Old Home Day.  The Home Page for Dracut Old Home Day can be found here.

I’m told that the deposit for a table at Old Home Day from the Dracut Republican Town committee was returned because the committee running the event has decided not to allow political activity.

What happened to all that civility we were going to have after the murder of that Federal Judge and the shooting of Representative Gabby Gifford?  Banning doesn't enhance civility.

UPDATE:  "The Marathon County Labor Council has reversed a decision that excluded Republican politicians from participating in the Labor Day parade in Wausau."  I loved this line from Wausau Mayor Jim Tipple:

Sure. Anything can happen. It's America. You can really kinda do anything you want. You could have a tea party and anybody can show up. I would think that at the end of the parade, people could do anything they wanted to.

It's America!  And I am proud to be a part of it.
