The nail that sticks up gets hammered. Ask Mike Vanderboegh, or Paul Henick.
Are YOU orthodox enough, comrade?
If you're reading here, probably not.
It's a sign of the times, and it's the time of the signs. I hope emphatic yellow placards will be enough. Not really up to us, is it?

"Last month, facing her first serious election challenge since 1998, [Carroll County District Attorney Robin] Gordon lost to Republican Thomas E. Dewhurst III. Moultonborough voted nearly 2 to 1 against her. “We got her out of there,’’ said Robert Holopainen, a Bird supporter who helps run the Irving service station. “That woman didn’t like two things: men and guns.’’"

It was the District Attorney that did not like men and guns, and was voted out of office at the first opportunity. The trespasser Christine Harris was the animal abuser.

Thanks, Ed.

Commenter says: "Ward Bird was not a big, strong, burly man at the time of the incident. He'd just gotten home a day or so earlier from abdominal surgery, and a blind 5 year old could have caused grave physical harm to him; much less a full grown, mentally unstable woman."
Mitigating circumstances not allowed in court by the judge and prosecutor, maybe? Interferes with the conviction rate.
We have a head prosecutor who's never lost. That's scary as sh--.

When Christine Harris leaves South Carolina for her trial in New Hampshire, she should not plan on returning here.

We do not look on her behavior kindly here.
