People have a right to their opinion. I might not agree with it. But I respect that they have a right to voice their opinion. I sort of thing that's what this country was founded on.
I don't care who's doing it. If you thrust it in other peoples' faces, expect pushback.

A bumper sticker can only be seen if you're fairly close to the back of a car. A flag (of ANY kind) is prominently displayed and visible up and down the street. The placards on the FRONT of the golf carts (again - no matter who they're supporting) are inane, because people are driving with those things, which means they are limiting their visibility, and that is stupid, careless, dangerous, and disrespectful.

People can play these stupid games with their flag wars. This guy is waving THIS flag, so their neighbor will wave THAT flag, and that offends the other guy who waves THOSE flags, which is offensive to the other neighbor, and so on and so forth, until the entire neighborhood is peeved at each other.

No one is going to change their minds about which party they're voting for in November. Raising a flag depicting your candidate on your flagpole is just making up for the lack of ability to raise something on a different flagpole, as far as I'm concerned.
