Put another one up!

I don't know if it's happening elsewhere - but there has been a rash of defacing and stealing of property going on recently.

What are they defacing? What are they stealing?

Bush-Cheney signs. Sometimes cars or homes that are stating their political preferences are also feeling the wrath of hatred. Homes are getting egged. Cars are getting keyed.

Many of you know my vote - I will be voting for Bush. I will not get all technical as to my reasons why but this will be my vote come November 2. Not only that - I recently received my ballot and I will be voting Republican across the board. If there is a Democrat running, I don't care if they found they cure for AIDS, I will not vote for them.

Your party has shown their colors and their asses for all to see and it a shame. How dare you! If you are a Democrat and you are saying..."Who me? I didn't hurt you!" Your party did and it is a reflection of your belief system. So you are all for one in my opinion.

I work with Democrats that wear their pins everyday. I live in a neighborhood where Kerry signs are stuck in virtually every yard. I never say a word, I never get into a political discussion with them. They are my neighbors, my coworkers, the guy sitting next to me at a Morrissey concert. Sometimes - I try to strike up a conversation with them, not telling them my views or feelings. I just ask why. The main reason they will be voting for Kerry, is because of their immense hatred for Bush. They cannot give me a specific reason as to why they really think Kerry would be better, they just hate Bush. The word hate pours from their lips like they just sucked the venom from the leg of a wounded man.

Their hate then flows into their everyday lives. If you have a Bush/ Cheney sticker on your car - prepare for it to either be covered or drawn on. If you wear a button - prepare for a speech and word for word quotes from Farencrap 911. If you have a sign in your yard - prepare for it to be stolen, torn or even worse your home or your car vandalized.

There is a war at home folks. I have a sign that I am frightened to put up in front of my home.

My home... how dare you!

Voting is my right that Susan B. Anthony fought to achieve for me and my daughter and all the women in our family. I have a voice just like you. My opinions and views do not give you the right to try to scare me, bully me and ruin my things. I have looked at your Kerry signs and pins for months. I have seen the homemade signs on your cars. I may not agree with what they say - but I can tell you this I would never, ever rip them from your car or person. We have the right of free speech.

To try to silence me thru TERROR - yes I said it. Your no better than the terrorist who tried to silence us on 9/11.

So - my friends and family and people that I don't even know that have come across this behavior - I ask that you fight against them and take a stand. Continue to live your lives like the human beings and lovers of this country that you are and wear your pin proudly.

And to my friends J and A - whose yard was torn up from the pickup truck that decided to run over your signs ....
