It is not like conservatives to steal Obama signs. Paddy's point is probably closer to the truth.
Besides all you are really going to do with it is put it in your fireplace on a spare-the-air day anyway.
Oh, sorry, thats right we can no longer heat our homes unless we pay the utilities.... "

Which brings up my last point - this letter was completely unnecessary. Who cares? Signs are stolen in every election. Some of mine were stolen when I ran for office. So what? It's part of the cost of doing business. Get over it. "

Knock it off!
The signs in my neighborhood are still there, all of them, for McCain/Palin and BO (no that many with Biden, surprisingly).
A nice turn I noticed, there's a house on Browns Valley Rd (maybe is First) that used to have a "Hillary" one and now it has a McCain/Palin one...I'm happy! "

Anyway, if anyone's counting, I had 3 Obama signs stolen, and 2 Kerry signs stolen 4 years ago. However, after I put a note out, the one who stole my Kerry sign twice returned it with a note apologizing for trying to interfere with my right to free speech. I appreciated his/her ability to negotiate and be fair. I certainly don't see that spirit in this election.
So, no direct attacks coming from me, only a cry in the dark -- "Why are liberals so hated for being so Christlike?" (And I say that not about me, because I'm not a Christian and don't pretend to be Christlike. I say that about others I have known, like my parents, good friends, leaders, whom I respect as I think I would have respected Christ for his principles and his compassion. It is clearly, in this day and age, considered "unamerican" to adopt and perpetuate those values. Only the values of intolerance and hatred seem to serve America's current purposes. And some wonder why others might find America imperfect and having a potential for improvement. "

Hardly.
If there is any hate out there, it is from the Liberal side. They are the ones who write and promote books and movies about killing President Bush, who compare him to Hitler, who constantly spew disgusting and vile personal comments about him and his family... "

The stolen signs are a metaphor of what they're doing to the election as a whole in order to usher in a new -ism, commocialsm, that will redistribute wealth and allow the illegal underbelly of society to gain a legal foothold in society and destroy the efforts of generations of Americans.
That's what happening to your precious signs. "
