I'd mine the yard!

SHORELINE - Ken Potts calls himself a patriot. That's what his front yard tells you too.
Metal American flags are staked in the ivy beside the driveway. A red, white, and blue pinwheel spins near the front sidewalk. One flagpole flies the American flag. A second flagpole carries the banner of the Army's 101st Airborne.
Even his mailbox on North 185th Street in Shoreline sports the image of the Airborne's screaming eagle.
But he says that in the last year the mailbox has been blown up twice with fireworks. The house has been egged. Paint has been thrown on the house too. The flags have been torn down and ripped up more than once.
And the 101st Airborne flag has had the word "murder" and a swastika written on it with a permanent marker.
"It's really difficult for me to see something like this and not feel sad," Potts told us of the vandalism that started around election day last year. Especially, he says, since the 101st led the charge in World War II to defeat Nazi Germany.

??? Please explain.
Say what?
Huh? Who is an easily identified idiot?
The guy who paints Bush Nazis on his house.
Oh, OK. Had me wondering there for a minute.........
Good for Mr Potts.
I was confused by the story myself.
I'd mine the yard!
Still a hero.
He must have some of those "tolerant" Liberal neighbors.
This is nothing new. It was the most under reported news story of the 2004 election. Brownshirts for Kerry were vandalizing homes, businesses, and property to intimidate Bush supporters. There were even episodes of violence.
The Civil War that is brewing has already gotten to the violent stage. I'm just glad there wasn't a revolt because of the election.
Hate Crimes laws protect religious beliefs and sexual beliefs (there is no "wear the clothes of the opposite sex" gene), but offer no protection for political beliefs.
Political correctness sucks.
Such attacks were not an isolated event:

I'll bet that ticked off the lib neighbors that vandalized his house and flags!!
