He should wear it as a badge of honor.

You know they are out of bullets when they try the old racist trick.

Hasn’t the word “racist” become a dog-whistle for the word “racist”?

Contents of the signs ...

Like his handwritten signs that say: “Romney, if you want to be president, you have to say this: ‘If I’m elected, I will not bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia” and “Obama, I built this business working 7 days a week, you didn’t.”

I will probably be flamed for saying this, but why would a small business owner publically support either ideology at their place of business. Its their right, but running a business is hard enough without losing a percent of your potential business to people who dont agree with your ideologies. I vote with my wallet often, you have a “no gun” policy, I probably wont buy at your store. (I dont even carry)
