Amazingly, it\u2019s been long enough now that there\u2019s no one left who knew me from teaching or coaching there.&nbsp;&nbsp;So it wasn\u2019t targeted at \u201cDahlman\u201d, it was targeted at someone who dared to put \u201cBiden Signs\u201d on their house and property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intimidation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure some folks would be intimidated.&nbsp;&nbsp;A kid walked up to my house, in full view of the cameras, and ripped a sign off of the garage door.&nbsp;&nbsp;But Jenn and I didn\u2019t feel intimidated.&nbsp;&nbsp;That didn\u2019t even cross our minds.&nbsp;&nbsp;We were &#8212; to say it nicely, angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you do about this?&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, I called the Police, and got to see and old friend who had the swing shift patrol.&nbsp;&nbsp;We caught up, and he let me file a report.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the video isn\u2019t that good, and without some other identification, old \u201c#25\u201d and his buddies probably got away with their theft.&nbsp;&nbsp;But it\u2019s \u201con the record\u201d, and if the Pataskala Police happen to pull over a car full of Biden signs there\u2019s a reason to do something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Jenn and I went on patrol as well, checking the places we thought kids might \u201cget rid\u201d of the evidence.&nbsp;&nbsp;We didn\u2019t have any luck, but we got some satisfaction checking the most likely dumpster sites.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Hope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And since this is a social media world, we posted the picture of \u201c#25\u201d on Facebook, and told our story.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The responses tell me that there is still hope for Pataskala, and maybe for America.&nbsp;&nbsp;As of this writing fifty-four folks have reacted to the post, many of them Trump supporters.&nbsp;&nbsp;And not one has said anything like \u201cit serves you right\u201d or \u201cgood for the kids\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Almost everyone who commented has supported our right to voice our opinions, even though they don\u2019t agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And a few gave advice on how to protect the next signs we put up.&nbsp;&nbsp;And they are right: there will be more signs.&nbsp;&nbsp;Intimidation is the last thing on our minds.&nbsp;&nbsp;Jenn is trying to keep me from getting our camper and parking it in the driveway with&nbsp;&nbsp;full-sized Biden sign on both sides.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won\u2019t do that.&nbsp;&nbsp;But there will be more Biden signs in our front yard; maybe installed in a more permanent way.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because \u201c#25\u201d needs to learn a lesson from this old government teacher:&nbsp;&nbsp;you can\u2019t shut up the opposition by stealing, and you can\u2019t win an election through intimidation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You just gave me the excuse to put more signs up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Five Man Electrical Band &#8211; Signs Small Town Pataskala, Ohio, will never by confused for \u201cBiden\u201d Country.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just a quick look at my little street, a block off the \u201cmain drag\u201d, shows it.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the corner, two Trump signs, and multiple flags favoring the President.&nbsp;&nbsp;Two doors down, more Trump flags and signs.&nbsp;&nbsp;They\u2019ve been up since 2016.&nbsp;&nbsp;Next &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2020\/10\/14\/sign-sign-everywhere-a-sign\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign : Our America - Essays on Politics and American Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Here&#039;s a story about life in &quot;Trump Country&quot;.
