Well, if it had been a display of Soviet Union hammer and sickle flags, they probably would have saluted them.

She oviously has no concern for “upsetting” other people.

There are none so intolerant as the “progressives”.

Nope. See post 22 for her credits. Pretty thin list. “Aspiring”, indeed.

“their idea that they can vandalize, steal or destroy other people’s property, private or public, at will and get away with it.”

Liberals are “angry with the world”. They often live in rage.

To the left, “Property is Theft”.

Yes I am upset every time I see Obama or Hillary sticker. I am upset especially because it makes me realize the occupant of the car is both stupid and on the road. I Schlie saw a sticker yesterday that made me very upset which said yes we are better off then in 2008. This person was actually operating motorized vehicle.

Yep, property is theft and Leftism is a religion.

Those who fly the Confederate flag are heretics and blasphemers, whose heresy and blasphemy must be destroyed.

The only thing keeping hardcore leftists from burning conservatives at the stake is a fear of imprisonment because it is still illegal to murder people. Until conservatives (i.e., racists/misogynists/homophobes/Islamaphobes/climate-change-deniers, etc.), like fetuses, are declared non-persons, that is.

I like people that label themselves with "Obama", "Hillary!", or "Coexist" -type bumper stickers on their cars. Tells me that they're idiots and to be extra careful when driving near them.

I wish they'd slap the bumper stickers on their foreheads, would save me the time of trying to figure out if they were worth talking to.

I am a hopelessly aggressive driver. I can’t help it. I ignore cars with Obama, Hillary, Coexist stickers. And, when I say ignore, I act as though they were not there at all. Still not hit by one. They must be timid or great crash avoiders.

You're a whole lot closer to the truth than you think.

Of course, liberals would actually *execute* people who disagree with them. No, it wouldn't do to get their hands dirty.

But they'd not lose a second of sleep over finding someone else to do it, and with making a nice long list for them to work on.

I'm upset every time I see an Obama sticker on a car - a reminder that many people are still so malicious or stupid that they support the communist terrorist occupying our White House. Despite being upset, I do not damage their property. They are both legally and morally permitted to express their sympathy for evil. When it comes to something much milder, such as the Confederate Battle Flag, there is no excuse for theft or vandalism.

Eloquently stated, along with good advice/examples of how to behave within the law.
I read so much stuff here that is just beyond reason and sanity, but it's real.
It's beyond disrespectful to treat any Confederate flag like that.
In Minnesota, the Union troops captured a rebel flag of the 28th Virginia Infantry at Gettysburg, PA in July of 1863 and sent the flag to St. Paul Minnesota and held it as a war prize until as recently as 3 years ago.
Last I heard, the flag has been painstakingly restored over the years, shown as a centerpiece at the Minnesota Historical Society.
I hope the state of Minnesota will finally do the right thing and return that flag to the citizens of Virginia.
Our present governor Mark Dayton is a gold-plated horse's ass and here's what he had to say regarding the flag of the 28thVaRegt: “Well, it was taken in a battle at the cost of the blood of all these Minnesotans,” Dayton said today. “And I think it would be a sacrilege to return it to them. It was something that was earned through the incredible courage and valor men who gave their lives and risked their lived to obtain it. And as far as I’m concerned, it’s a closed subject.”

I would really like to know exactly what it is with liberals and their idea that they can vandalize, steal or destroy other people’s property, private or public, at will and get away with it. We see it over and over again, leftists smashing windows, jumping on police cars, rioting, looting, burning, caught on video, and almost never any consequences whatsoever.

Someday there will be consequences for their behavior. That is probably why they want to ban guns. They think they can forestall the eventual day of reckoning by controlling others. And yet, the only way they could do that, would be to control their own behavior.

If the liberals are so upset with the Confederate flag because of the killing of 9 in Charleston last year, the n why are they not protesting the Fag flag over the 49 killed in Orlando?

I call that "moral cowardice". It is like the people who criticize hunting but then have no qualms about buying that pink stuff under cellophane at the grocery store.

Mostly, I try not to park next to them. Saves my car from getting dings and dents from their inattention.

Story time with WBill... I worked on a college campus during the 2012 election. I expected every car to have an "Obama" bumper sticker on it. There were surprisingly few.

However, every single car with an "Obama" sticker could be counted on to be illegally parked. And we're not just talking double-parking, or maybe a little bit over one line or the other... It would have made an excellent running gag on a sitcom.

They parked on sidewalks, in the middle of the road, in the middle of lawns. My favorite was the idiot (I saw it happen, suggested that she move her car, and when she didn't, called public safety to get it towed) who left her car parked *ACROSS* the exit to the main college parking lot - thus blocking in hundreds of people.

"I'll just be an hour or so!", she said with a wave, when I called her out. Self-centered idiot.

Just looked them up.

She's a registered Democrat and the father is a registered Republican in North Carolina

Stupid lib acted stupidly, and the loving father protected his daughter.

Yup, that's why I said that I don't blame the dad for backing his daughter.

Though, I'd not want to be on the receiving end of what he had to say around the supper table the next night. When I was a kid, it either would have been very very loud, or very very quiet. Neither was preferable.
