I think the new neighbors may be Freepers...
I'm on the left side of the court, he's on the right. How appropriate.

He has an SUV bearing three (3) magnetized American flags, a WorldNet Daily bumpersticker, and a "Freedom is not Free" bumpersticker. Not encouraging.

I met him this morning, welcomed him to the neighborhood anyway. Polite enough, kinda quiet, appeared to be pretty hardworking, has a wife and daughter same as me. Don't know if he noticed the Bartcop.com bumpersticker on my trunk lid, but I suspect he might have.

Oh well...it'll be interesting. I doubt he'll say something like "I've been a registered republican all my life, but that George W Bush oughta be impeached today..." But I can hope.

1. I'm surrounded by Freeps
and of course they are the usual boneheads who spout their bullshit lies that they get from Rush, Hannity and O'Liely.

3. Being a 'Freeper' doesn't make someone a bad person,
It just means that they are misguided (at least by our standards). Some of my very best friends are incredibly conservative, and they're otherwise wonderful people. I just try to stay out of political discussions with them.

7. Just be sure to litter your yard with all kinds of democratic yard
Edited on Wed Feb-04-04 05:07 PM by lovedems
signs. It will be a polite way to piss them off. We have some freeper neighbors so during the Iraq war we had a "not in our name" yard sign. We are friendly with them but that is about it. It gets on their nerves because everytime there is an election we "litter" our yard with signs. We have lots of flowers to!

Edit: "war" we are still fighting but the administration won't recognize that.

11. You'll Never Know
Unless you communicate. Maybe they're Conservative and are PO'd about the long-term health of the US under a Indian-Chinese Shrub.

13. Here's an excellent way to get back at them:
When spring rolls around sneak out late at night with a full fertilizer. Use it to draw a HUGE peace sign right in the middle of his front yard. When the fertilizer kicks in, the area you fertilized will grow much fuller, much greener, and your handiwork will be obvious. He'll be stuck with it all summer.
