Political signs and stickers

Post by mekender »

Am I the only one that isnt comfortable putting signs in my yard or stickers on my car?

Its not that I dont support the candidates, but that I know how violent, insulting and insane that the leftists can be.

I guess I'm concerned about a brick being tossed through my window or some nutcase trying to run me off the road.

We live in a hugely conservative area, with lots of flags out on flag poles (not the little ones stuck in the eaves - REAL flag poles) with service flags nearby on many of them. Also, when you live on a dead-end street, you don't get much non-neighbor traffic. :D

Despite now living in a military town I too am still very cautious about those things because I went to college at the University of Wisconsin (trying to out Berkeley, Berkeley since the 60's) and they would pull that kind of stuff there.

I don't put them on my work trucks because that's just bad business. I live in a fairly conservative part of NJ (yes, they do exist) but I see no point in alienating a prospective client because of a bumper sticker. Obama supporters' money is just as green..

I don't put them on my car because I don't want to mar its pristine bumper ;)

I will probably throw up a McCain/Palin sign in my yard, though. Not that it will make much of a difference in NJ. Even if Ghandi were running for the GOP, our electoral votes are going to the Jackasses.

Edit for spelling.

I'd rather not put stickers on my car but I'm putting the NRA and McCain/Palin signs in my yard and God help the first person I catch messing with them.

Someone slashing tires in my neighborhood is a good way to get shot by one of the neighbors.
