"I told her that I hoped the second independence day would be starting this coming November with America's declaring itself independent of an interfering, rapacious, over-taxing federal government."

Yeah there's nothing that will win votes for conservative principles like obnoxiously shoving politics and ideology in someone's face while they are trying to go about their job.

Yeah there's nothing that will win votes for conservative principles like obnoxiously shoving politics and ideology in someone's face while they are trying to go about their job.

And there's nothing like over-extrapolation of what someone wrote (together with a presumption of omniscience, viz "obnoxiously shoving"). The person I was talking to is an immigrant from the PRC who I've known for over a year and wasn't the person who put up the sign.

Yes, better to draw attention to conservative principles by not referring to their principal object of a people being able to live in peace, unmolested by an overreaching national government and contrasting this principle with its deliberate non-fulfillment by the current group controlling Congress and the executive branch.
