Here’s what I’d put on a yard sign

I was going to put a yard sign out recently, but then I realized that freedom of speech and freedom of expression only applies to the political left, so the sign would likely be vandalized or destroyed along with my house. Here’s what the sign would say: “We Believe. In the eyes of God, all lives matter. There is such a thing as fake science and fake news. God created man and woman and they are different. If you broke the law to get into this country, you are illegal! Climate change is real and has been with us since the beginning of time. Justice and equality are for all people. We are to love one another as much (if not more) than we love ourselves and treat others as we would like to be treated. God Bless America.”

You can see why this sign would not have lasted long. Sidebar: It looks like discarded masks are the new disposable diapers and water bottles to trash our environment. Please dispose of used masks and all other trash properly.
