Mr. Moonbeam insists I park my Kerry stickered van in the garage
he even totally cleaned out the garage so my van will fit. Insists I never leave my van out on the driveway, night or day, because of the Kerry and Democrat stickers. He works at night and worries. We live in Texas.

Think it's justified? It wouldn't be any big deal except we have no automatic garage door opener so it's quite the PITA.

1. Here in Austin I would not worry too much about it.
But if you lived in Midland or Mesquite, maybe.

3. You aren't too far off with Mesquite
so you think I should put up with the garage pain in the ass? Nothing has happened so far...

8. Well that is hard to say.
I have a yard nazi whom i suspect is taking down my anti war sign
but this is the worse i have to deal with.

While most in the more conservative towns are probably decent sorts I would not put it past some who may be closet brownshirts to vandalize things that may make them think.

This IS texas.

2. It would be more productive
to use a closed circuit video camera and get any vandels on tape. Then you could hit hard on the politics of fear and hate practiced by the Repos.

13. i think you can get a color video
and computer or vcr hook up for less than 200? Maybe a lot less. 70?

i don't know but I think those spy cameras they have in the pop-ups would work.

6. More importantly, what a good guy to do all that because he's worried
about you.

12. Ok ok ok
you guys convinced me. I kinda thought it was silly, but I'll put up with the pain in the ass of the non-electric garage door! At least until after Kerry wins!

(Oh wait, then I REALLY might be a target for some angry freepers, wouldn't I? Damn.)

Maybe we'll look into getting an electric garage door opener!
