From The Right Side

The following letter to the editor appeared in the Monday, July 23^rd Democrat and Chronicle

Homeowner litters lawn to expresses views

Imagine a Rochester where every resident decides to post a sign (or signs) in their yards proclaiming their personal views. Imagine them spouting hand-lettered, divisive and one-sided comments. Every house, every season, every homeowner deciding that his ideas should be posted for all to notice. This is how our town would look should we all decide that rather than using available forum to discuss politics — letters to the editor, radio shows, blogs, the Internet, etc. — our views should be stuck by the side of the road and forced upon every hapless passerby. This is what one resident on a main road in Irondequoit does.

I know, freedom of speech: He definitely has the legal right to post any sign he wants on his property. I would ask, though, that he also consider if he would like to live in a town where everyone decided to do the same thing he does. Would that be an attractive, welcoming, civil neighborhood in which he would wish to live?

My Response

I love driving liberals crazy and letting them expose their hypocrisy.  My signs are a small but very popular attempt to get the conservative view out when the overwhelming majority of the media is liberal, biased and prone to publishing half truths or outright lies.  The newspapers limit letters to no more than once in thirty days.  The radio limits calls as well.  That is why I started a blog, www.fromtherightside.us, as the paper would not let me write a weekly column.  My signs have been a source of entertainment to many people and aggravation to the liberal Obama lovers who have knocked down, torn up or even stolen them.  Does she consider as litter signs promoting yard sales, joining the girl scouts or the local remodeler. And the political season is coming so she can post her favorite political sign in her yard.  Or put her own sign up---oh yea, that would be littering.   She mentions free speech but I suspect she means free speech that agrees with her.

As far as being divisive and one sided they certainly are not divisive.  They are an answer to the lies and propaganda coming out of the most corrupt administration I have ever seen.  Class warfare is not classy!  This is the most divisive administration ever.
