Aw, Geez: neighbor just put up a lawn sign: "Vote for Holy Matrimony"

[MnFats]

discounting all vandalism and violence, what do I do with this shit? It's a big family of fundy church goers , right across the street. we go back a ways: Her Coleman sign was matched with mine for Paul Wellstone....but we manage to be cordial. last winter when she noticed we had no snowblower, she ran hers up and down my driveway till it was perfectly clear. Was a huge dump of hard snow and would have taken a couple of hours to move it.
So I can't be mean.
i need two things from the People of DU. what, seriously, would you do, and then, in your wildest (but not violent, demeaning or hateful,) fantasies, what would you do?

[GObamaGO]

1. Put up a Vote No sign

[madaboutharry]

2. Put up a sign advocating marriage equality.

I would fine a beautiful rainbow sign that says something about standing up for marriage equality along with a biblical quote about loving your neighbor, or something like that.

[MadHound]

3. In reality, I would ignore it

After all, this is America where everybody has the right to express their political opinion, even if it is a dangerous, stupid and harmful opinion.

But there are times when thoughts of flaming arrows run through my head.

[richmwill]

4. She sounds like a good person, just misguided.

I would allow her to have her freedom of speech, of course- as much as I disagree with it. My half-serious, half-joking response as a Christian would be to pray for her.

[LeftyMom]

5. I have some battery operated rainbow Christmas lights that were real cheap.

I wouldn't miss them if they accidentally wound up wrapped around somebody's political sign. Or if my bottle of spray glitter were suddenly half empty, I wouldn't really notice.

It's not vandalism. It's enhancement.

[ZombieHorde]

6. I might put up something that supported marriage equality in my window.

Or a bumper sticker on my car. Something that had a positive message over a negative message.

Fantasy: Regular gay pride parties on my front lawn.

[Auggie]

7. Let it go

Amiable neighborhood relationships are more important IMO.

Why not make a donation to a worthy liberal cause, instead?

[undeterred]

8. Your sign should say: Holy Matrimony is for all God's children

or A Vote against Marriage Equality is a Vote Against Justice

[MineralMan]

9. Put up a sign of your own that says:

Vote for Matrimony for Everyone! It's Only Right! Fight fire with your own fire.

[KurtNYC]

22. I like that -- it could be just "For Everyone"

simple

But if it were me I would let it go because there is no winner in a yard war like this. Love thy neighbor.

[HockeyMom]

10. The government doesn't perform the sacrament of Holy Matrimony

not even for straight couples.

[sufrommich]

11. I would put up a big picture of

Elizabeth Taylor and all 7 of her husbands.

[rurallib]

21. Limbaugh and his four wives might be more effective.

[rfranklin]

12. Is the vote on church weddings?

Probably not. There must be some clever response to that canard.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Put up a big sign of your own. Something like,

"Cast your vote against hate. Vote NO on the marriage amendment." Then send these folks a few bucks, if you can: http://www.mnunited.org/

[Politicalboi]

14. Put up a sign that says

Holy Matrimony for ALL. Or in fantasy, put For All on her sign.

[rfranklin]

15. Marriage is between a Man and a Woman and a Woman...Mitt Romney the Mormon

Or a woman and her rapist according to Deuteronomy 22:28

[dimbear]

16. Your new sign should read "First Kings 11 1-3"

An example of outstanding mating.

[lob1]

17. I know Holly Matrimony. She's proudly gay.

[Woody Woodpecker]

18. Vote for your Mom!

She is the Holy Matrimony!

slap that addedum to the stupid sign

Or just quietly place it in their sharpest shrubbery they got. Real deep (make sure you wear flannel when you do this!)

[dionysus]

19. put up sign of your own.

[longship]

20. Put up a sign saying "Vote for Wholly matrimony"

It states your position without confrontation. Your neighbor may even come over and ask you, "what's with that?"
It might serve as an educational moment for your neighbor.

But, if he has NRA or SYG signs, I would ignore my advice.

[ManyShadesOf]

23. find some roadkill

two squirrels or two of The Lord's critters so it ain't innerdenamenotional 'n such. Dress em up as bride and groom. Mini shotgun with mad papa would be a nice touch har de har har. Set em up in front of the sign. With some flowers.

[CK_John]

24. Need sign "Divorce is the problem", this takes no for or against and keeps local peace. But...

it makes your neighbor and everyone else who passes this sign think about the whole issue.

[Major Nikon]

25. I'd do nothing

A sign like that just advertises their ignorance and intolerance. Some people manage to make complete asses out of themselves and don't need help. Fortunately my HOA has a rule against signs like those.

[jp11]

26. Stick up a sign that says

"Just Vote"

With the election date on it.

[Zanzoobar]

27. Be a good neighbor until you have to get stabby.

Or, put up your own sign and hope you can repay their favor. They must like you.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

28. Tell 'em to fuck off. Snowblowers are on clearance.

[crunch60]

29. I would ignore her sign, as I don't think it will change anyone's mind one

way or another. Well, maybe a bumper sticker supporting marriage equality. Good relationships with neighbor's are more important.

Also,it's not a good idea to start a "sign war" in your neighborhood, that would be pretty unsightly.

[Bolo Boffin]

30. "Vote To Mind Your Own Business" n/t

[emilyg]

31. Live and Let Live.
