UPDATE:\u00a0 The battle of the Yes on 8 sign continues unabated at our local elementary school.\u00a0\u00a0 The last one I put up (the third replacement I put up, to replace one someone ELSE had first installed, in a public area with many political signs) was defaced by having the YES torn out, and the word NO put on with a marker.\u00a0 I left it there, as was; it seemed a good way to illustrate to passersby that those demanding tolerance were the most intolerant of all.\u00a0 This morning, when I took my daughter to school, someone had replaced that sign with a fresh, new YES on 8 sign.\u00a0 I smiled, knowing there was a fellow traveler out there somewhere.\u00a0 But when I picked up my daughter today, that new sign had been completely stolen.\u00a0 NO other signs in that area are touched, ONLY the YES on 8 sign.\u00a0\u00a0 The lesson is clear, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

PREVIOUS POST: Earlier, I reported on all the Yes on Prop 8<\/strong> signs that are being stolen and defaced.<\/a> (More at the link.)<\/p>\n

When I came back, the sign I put on the corner of my property was gone, again. I will never, never let any person from the Left tell me about how the Left is about tolerance of diverse viewpoints. I have observed many instances of the Left shouting down the (very) rare speaker from the Right on college campuses, while the reverse virtually never occurs. This is my first experience with it happening on my own property, and in my own relatively rural community, however. Bottom line: the Left is about shutting up the opposition, not merely about winning the argument. The Left is not in favor of diversity, the Left uses diversity-speak as a tool, plain and simple. Pay attention. You will hear this material again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since that post, I’ve put up several signs, and had them stolen or vandalized (sometimes they just rip out the YES, and scribble NO on it), both off my own property and on public property where other political signs are left alone. Uniquely, I have not heard of or noticed any missing or defaced signs for candidates, just Yes on Prop 8 signs.<\/p>\n

Here’s my latest attempt on my own lot:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the corner of my 5 acre property.\u00a0 I added the additional sign “My Land, My Sign, Hands Off!!” just in case some Lefty miscreant thinks that it’s public property and so he can do what he wants to my sign….\u00a0 Not that I expect it to do any good.\u00a0 But you do what you can.<\/p>\n

So, I’m taking bets:\u00a0 this sign went up today at noon.\u00a0 How long will it last?<\/p>\n

And I have quite a bit more information now, enough to know that “NO on 8” signs in my community are being left alone, and no candidate signs are being touched…\u00a0 it seems to be ONLY Yes on 8 signs.\u00a0 So none of this “moral equivalence” nonsense, please.\u00a0 Everybody isn’t doing it.\u00a0 It’s the Left, period, around here, and apparently statewide, from all reports.<\/p>\n
