He needs a good, patriotic ass-kicking.

As a disabled veteran I am ashamed and hurt that we have come to this point.:shocked:
Whoever did this is a coward , and yellow. Plus a lot of other unflattering comments that I cannot post here. You should be ashamed to be an American, honestly.

It is really illustrates my comments what I have pointed out here in previous post.

The sheer lack of Patriotism by some is troubling, in particular the person who did this alone is a criminal act. I hope somehow get caught.

The homeowner especially being a Veteran his whole family, friends, neighbors, and others like myself are saddened by this.

It is really, really sad.

Sorry that happened to you. There are a lot of people way too worked up about things way beyond their control.

The media on all sides is to blame for the most part and, of course, people who cannot control their impulses who act on these mob like responses. "Mob" as in a crowd that acts like through the worst people in it.

Incredible intolerance!
 
We hear over and over we should respect and tolerate other individuals viewpoint. That seems one sided. I have repeatedly had Trump stickers scratched off my mailbox door. Of course my mailbox is on the backside of the station so the vandals cant be caught.

That is SO wrong. I might not agree with some people politically, but I understand they have a reason for what they believe. Our priorities are different.

Did it ever occur to you that your insistence on shoving your opinion into everyone else's face by putting a trump sticker on your mailbox door was disrespectful and intolerable?

The same question about the trump flag. If you impose your political opinion on everyone else, and demand that they respect it - then you're being intolerant, and intolerable.

Take that particular flag down, and that particular sticker off, and I'm sure all your troubles will end. Just like if I put a JoeBiden flag on my flagpole, I'd expect some idiot to do something stupid as a result. You kind of have to be asking for trouble when you pull stunts like that.

tl;dr: don't force your opinion on your neighbors, and your neighbors will stop forcing theirs on you.

this is what scares me....that people are getting so 'jacked up' by the media hype that they are loosing it completely

I know how I would have reacted if someone tried to do that to something on my property and I saw it happening
the NY Times editorial stated Military Celebrates White Supremacy because of Ft Benning Georgia. This on the day that honors soldiers black and white who gave up their lives for the First Amendment that protects the press. What a disgraceful paper that encourages vandalism like you experienced.

So... No bumper stickers. No signs or stickers on cars or golf carts. OrangeBlossomBaby - Please go and talk to those people who park their anti-Trump carts with signs on the corner of 466A and Morse and tell them to stop shoving their opinion down everyone's throats. (Post when you're going to do this. I'd like to watch).

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 think that's what this country was founded on.
