Eminent Domain

After having a great night last night, I woke this morning to find that a horrible crime had been committed on my own property. Some dipshit stole the Confirm Alito sign from my front yard. Originally, I had been bringing it in every night. For the past month or so, I left it out at night hoping that it was safe and that my neighborhood wasn't full of mouth-breathing inbreds. Unfortunately, I overestimated the decency of the people in this area. It was there at 1 AM, so the crime must've occurred between then and 8 AM when I woke up.

It bothers me that free speech and property rights have so little respect these days. Does one black and white sign proclaiming support for a Supreme Court nominee bother you that much? You are forced to trespass into my yard and steal my personal property? Wow, thin skin. If Alito puts that much of a bug up your ass, why don't you put up a sign of your own in your yard? You get to express your opinion, I get to express mine, and Thomas Jefferson doesn't spin in his grave.

I'm trying to figure out what to do in response. The hearings are less than two weeks away. In order to get another sign, I have to order it through a website. Processing and shipment will take time. I would probably get the sign after the hearings are over, so that seems like a bit of a waste. I could make a sign, but I'm not really artistic. I could make a different sign stating "Thank you, thieving moron. I have made a donation in your honor to the Republican National Committee." I'm not really sure what I'm going to do. I'm quite pissed off though.
