On a recent walk, I came across a neighborhood littered with the yard sign in this photo. It seems the provocative platitudes we’ve seen on bumper stickers for a century have now taken root in our yards.
And for the same reason: To tell the world that the sign-planter holds wonderful beliefs that he’s willing to impose upon and attribute to the rest of his family. It’s surely not because the sign-planter thinks he’s persuading anyone of the rightness of his position, as if the neighbors reading the sign will say to themselves, “Gee, ‘Democracy dies in darkness’ is a great point. I’d never thought of it that way.”
OK, people preen. And leftists impose their beliefs on others. It’s what they do. But this one is stupid.
First, “Science is Real” is gibberish. The issue is not whether science is real or fake. The issue is whether enough data has been collected, sorted and analyzed correctly to arrive at a factual explanation for the particular subject under investigation. Science is not a thing, but a methodology. Science is the process of collecting data and rigorously analyzing it to understand a natural phenomenon.
To say “Science is Real” shows a fundamental lack of understanding about science. It’s like saying, “anthropology is real” or “chemistry is real.” I’ve known many scientists and not one has ever said, “Science is Real.”....

they all mean a “good german” lives here.
Your church hates trump for 5 years? Why do you continue to attend this said church?
Cheap way to virtue signal.
add a hammer and sickle
What these signs say to me is Please don’t vandalize my property or beat me up. It is a kick me sign and the planters don’t know it.
They’re all over the Bay Area here in San Francisco
There is usually six things rainbow colors and I can have some variety
Black Lives Matter ; water is wet. blah blah blah
Back in 1968, lots of white people placed THIS HOUSE IS NOT ARMED or SOUL BROTHER signs in their windows. It didn’t last long.
“Platitudes we’ve seen on bumper stickers for a century have now taken root in our yards.”
Signs on lawns are just pathetic Christmas gifts.
I once asked a retired professor in Berkeley, “Why are there so many bumper stickers on the cars in Berkeley?” He said, “Because there are many people in Berkeley who did drugs, destroyed their memories and use bumper stickers as reminders.”

Israel is Real.
Science is whatever the available evidence and logic lead one to conclude, with the clear admission that at any moment newer evidence and superior logic will lead to a different conclusion.
haha
I wish Irreparable weren't misspelled on that.
Wear a red “MAGA’ cap while passing on the sidewalk and see how far ‘kindness’ is extended.
Not the church per second; just many of the parishioners, who I am prompted to love regardless of their crazy ideas. Leave the church? How is that going to help anything?
Ask the black small business owners in Minneapolis who have been burned out / looted out how well that works.
I had something like this on my vehicle a few years back. One of my coworkers saw the sticker at a distance and said, “you’re not one of those people, are you?” I said to look closely at the sticker. After he did, he broke up laughing.
Yep, I see them all the time in the Triangle region of NC while I’m out working. The sad thing is you can stereotype what they are going to look like when they come out of the house.
I tell my son that they are just like the no guns signs. When the feral crowd decides to get rowdy guess where they are headed first.
