These signs have been popping up in my neighborhood. I see them every day when I walk the dogs.
I took this picture. It is a little blurry but I did not want to walk onto their lawn to take a picture. Too weird.
This sign responds to the one that folks like me put up after tRump issued his Muslim ban: “Hate Has No Home Here.”
This conservative reply in the sign wars illustrates the insularity, religiosity, and xenophobia of folks who have this sign.
First, there is the flag of the United States of American. This implies that the message only applies to citizens (and probably not legal aliens).
Second, the first noun of the list is God. This suggests that only believers in some sort of monotheism are included. If you are an atheist or agnostic, you can just forget it.
Third, family and friends — I guess only those folks who are known directly and personally qualify to be loved and treated as human beings.
Fourth, country — well, I guess USA always comes first. You can’t love other countries. Only 1 country.
Fifth, community could imply an embrace of a larger group of people but what about folks who don’t live in your community?
Sixth and worst, the U.S. Constitution. Clearly the message is that the Constitution should be regarded as some sort of sacred document — probably with special reference to the 2nd amendment.
The sign’s underlying message does not signal love of others, but love of a select group of like-thinking people.
Oh, yes. Let me know forget. The entire thing is in English.
Ours includes multiple languages and does not exclude anyone. Who has the better sign?
