Those 4x8's aren't cheap! My daughter bought one for her front yard (which has so far been left alone) which cost $169.

My own yard signs that I got from campaign headquarters were stolen several times. We immediately replaced them and had to take them in at night to protect them. One night I was on the front porch just as 4 drunk college students came up on my lawn and started kicking at one sign and taking down the other. I told them in no uncertain terms to get off my lawn and two of them came right into my face and started to confront me. Like animals! My husband came out and chased them for blocks before they finally ducked into a building somewhere. What's really weird is that the signs that had been stolen have started to reappear on my lawn...one every few days! LOL.

It is sad to think our society has come to this. I can remember at their age being afraid to be anything but respectful of others and their property. The kids today, some of them, have no concept of that.

My friend who walks all over town with her Bush pins and sign every day has been assaulted, spit on, pushed down, yelled at, cursed at, and threatened. She is an older woman and no one seems to let that bother them at all!

If we don't do something, the hatred (misguided as it is) will only fester and boil over. But what? This is a frustrated society that suffers from the effect of the burn-your-bra crowd who failed to be parents to their kids. The damage runs very deep.

Misty, I don't know what we can do, but I do seeing this escalate & some innocent person is going to get hurt badly if something isn't done!

Most true statement I've seen in much too long. Thank you.

And it's a self-perpetuating cycle. It's a lot like the welfare system - get them it, it's hard to get them or future generations out. You know - the same welfare system that the left supports.
