Say It on a T-Shirt

We were pleased to learn today (via the Tulsa World) of an Oklahoma T-shirt company that is fighting the good fight.

Pawhuska designer Ryan Red Corn is producing a line of "lefty" shirts with messages even a conservative could love. Example: "I [heart] free speech."

Red Corn's company, Demockratees, also has shirts blessing "everyone" (not just America) and criticizing Indian mascots. Another popular design, "Petrolcide," depicts a gas nozzle as a suicide weapon, a commentary on the high price of gas.

As you may have noticed, AltTulsa celebrates free speech, even when we don't agree. Red Corn's T-shirts will surely rub some people the wrong way, but in our view that's a small price to pay for free speech.

Decide for yourself. Red Corn's products can be viewed at his website, www.demockratees.com.
