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.”....

My brother basically does whatever his wife tells him to do and his wife is a hard left wacky doodle. So for his birthday I got him a weinermobile sign. It was his 80th and I tried to get the weinermobile itself to visit his house but they’re not doing that because COVID.
“We believe in science.”
Put it next to “The Germans are the Master Race”
In one of the liberal bastions in my town I see a lot of rainbow flags and BLM signs. All white people.
Just sucking up ,LOL
Recently, I was driving by that church, and they were having a fund-raising car wash. There were young teenage girls with signs laughing, yelling, jumping enthusiastically up and down, waving the car wash signs, looking for all the world as if they were raising money for their cheering squad, softball team or something like that.
As I drove by, I could see they were having a car wash to support Black Lives Matter.
Those poor, young, brainwashed fools are who Rush Limbaugh used to refer to as "Skulls full of mush".
It saddened me, and really stuck with me.
Yes, stupidty.
I want a sign that says, “In this house we don’t care what you believe”. Those “We Believe” signs are still up around the neighborhood. They’re so trashy.
Hi.
Doesn’t “He Hate Me” live in that neighborhood?
5.56mm
Mine says, “Want to meet God? Enter these premises without permission”
Usually the people who post such drivel are the most hateful racist intolerant jerks you will ever meet.
There is a home in my town with a big banner hanging from the port porch which reads: “A diverse community is a strong community.” The lawn has had no attention whatsoever for a year and it’s the worst looking house on its block.
The one I liked the best was an NRA sticker in the window that said something to the effect of *This house is defended by a gun owning member of the NRA four days out of each week. You guess which four.*
that’s outstanding. I hate a thief!
When I see these colorful yard signs they seem that the people are claiming they love everyone, but they hate you.
Put up a Sign that says “THE ONLY GOOD COMMIE IS A DEAD COMMIE” and every DEMONCRAT who sees it will take it as a threat.
Virtue signaling is cheap
It’s free
The Woke are the new church lady
No shit when I was a kid religious folks pointed fingers some....holy rollers
Now the woke occupy the smug self righteous perch of superiority
It’s the same motivation
To feel accepted and to be morally superior
It happens even here...
Remember the old harpie packs that roamed the forum screaming for zots over criticizing Bush or Sarah Palin or being a bigot or racist or anti semite or any smear imaginable or if you were anti Bush amnesty....yes it is true kids
The main target were paleos like me and Matt bracken and Marine Inspector or Jackelope Breeder or objectivists and libertarians like OWK or tpaine or mercuria ....and so forth
It was a much bigger tent here then...but what I noticed was otherwise good posters would go wobbly and join the herd simply from fear or wanting to be accepted
It’s human frailty
And virtue signaling so easily converges there....
I think anyhow
YEEESSSS!
Finally a thread just about these horrid signs!
Where can that be obtained?
I like that too. Where get?
