As vandalism goes, it’s a very minor thing.
In respect to the US Constitution, however, it may be much bigger.
Someone stole my Obama sign last night.
I had purchased two signs last spring, and they were both taken during the summer. The latest sign lasted about a week.
I have to wonder if this is someone’s idea of political protest. Is Obama merely a candidate someone doesn’t like, or does it go deeper?
Are there racists in my neighborhood?
Of course, I’ll never know, because I doubt that whoever took my signs will come forward and admit to it, but I am sad that this would happen.
We need to be able to disagree, without trying to silence opinion that differs from our own. For myself, I am quite capable of letting my neighbor’s McCain sign stand proudly in his yard, without feeling the urge to pull it out of the ground.
Wish others had felt the same way.
