Rush Limbaugh is reporting that the media is all out of shape that people are getting rambunctious at McCain-Palin rallies. Mary Mitchell at the Chicago Sun Times is complaining that Sarah Palin is bringing out the worst in her supporters but what about Obama’s friends, Acorn and their outright attempts to steal the election?
And yet, all the time, every day, on national stages and in local places, democrats lie, steal, cheat and do whatever it takes to win.
Something happened today that just totally disgusts me.
I went to the Republican headquarters yesterday to pick up a McCain/Palin sign. I proudly put it out in my yard near our driveway where it could be seen clearly. I came home for lunch today and it was gone.
Typical Democrats.
They can’t stand to see big support for Republicans. I called the Republican headquarters to see about getting another sign and the woman who answered told me that this has been happening a lot. She told me that one neighborhood out in Fianna Hills, (a very affluent area) woke up one morning and all of their McCain/Palin signs were gone. Not only are they taking the signs, they are leaving nails in driveways and doing some damage and malicious mischief at some of the homes.
One large sign on a fence in a neighborhood on the East side of town was torn off and thrown in a ditch. The person seen doing it in broad daylight was driving a Chevy Tahoe. The police were contacted.
Now, I’m not just automatically jumping to conclusions that Democrats were the culprits but there was an Obama sign a couple houses down from us that was untouched. Republicans are more tolerant it seems. We like to see Americans expressing their preferences and it can’t but warm our hearts when we see so much support for our candidate in our own hometowns. Even if that were not true I for one could not imagine taking some one’s sign. That’s not the American way.
I blogged the other day about the proliferation of McCain/Palin signs around town. It must be driving the Democrats crazy.
But they’ve been that way for a long time.
When my husband was a teenager his paternal grandfather was the state Game and Fish Commissioner of Arkansas, appointed by a Democrat. His entire family were Democrats. Once, when he was dismayed by something his uncle had done he was talking to his father about it. His dad said, “Son, we’re Democrats. You can get away with murder if you are a Democrat.”
That chilled his blood. Never did he ever want to become a Democrat.
Thankfully, later, my father-in-law, in his last vote in his last presidential election voted Republican.
UPDATE:
The police are getting involved in these cases because it’s getting worse.
Another UPDATE:
It’s not just happening here. It happened to Ed Morrissey too.

I feel your indignation...My McCain sign dates back to the uncontested (in PA, anyway) primary, and thus lacks "Palin" unfortunately, but perhaps that's why it has survived many weeks in my front yard. My car, with its saucy "Sarah!" sticker wasn't so fortunate last week on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania on the day of the Palin/Biden debate, as I wrote about here: http://www.amusedcynic.com/wordpress/?p=171
Anyway, keep the faith!

[...] But if I had caught that SOB, s/he would have been on the ground in about 2 seconds, and his/her keys would have ended up in the sewer….which is what I did to the last person I caught keying my car, back when Bush-Hitler was, you know, stealing the Florida election. Right down the sewer grate. No such luck this time. Related: Laura Lee Donoho had a similar experience with the oh-so-tolerant Obamakins…. Category: Uncategorized | Comment (RSS) | Trackback [...]

wow...I just love your spirit and attitude so much. wish i would've found your blog a long time ago.
i agree...it's time for everyone to be more tolerant. i've OFTEN thought this about politics and religion. that there is always 1 group that seems more tolerant and they are typically the ones who are least tolerated among other groups. it's just sickening!

I guess I'm lucky - nobody is molesting my McCain/Palin sign and in fact the young fellow who takes care of my lawn was extremely careful when he cut my grass yesterday - took it down carefully and returned it to its place just as carefully when he was done.
Nobody is bothering my sister's sign either - but then she has a pit bull in her yard! Nobody needs to know that he is lamblike in his behavior!

I've just found this blog site and like others came home to find our McCain-Palin sign missing from our front yard. However, there were a number of Obama signs still standing. We like others, went to the campaign headquarters to purchase a new sign and learned this is happening throughout our community...in fact, meet a neighbor who was there to replace her sign for the third time!
Just think...if they are so bold to take a small election sign from our front yards, what will they do with our liberties for life and freedom! We must not stand for such disrepect within this great nation. Many have given their lives to preserve our freedoms...we must stand for the rights of all people!
