@mutabilis Yep. I was five at that time. Feel exactly as you do.
@warneronstine thanks Warner. You get it, being here. It's more than a little kid. I really want people to understand that.
@tommorris I don't think we're talking about a "little fuckwit." Also, the police don't come out for vandalism anymore. We report it online.
This has nothing to do with communism in reality. This is fanatic, hateful rhetoric aimed at Obama and those who support him.
@mattn9 Well, at least you know the era to which I was referring. And if I WERE a communist, I wouldn't hide that fact.
I don't think some folks are understanding why this is so upsetting. Here's context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Tucson_shooting

@agoch01 Someone vandalized my car with Obama is a communist stickers while it was parked in my carport on private property last night.
And people come to my sessions and sometimes wonder why they're filled with Web history and facts and context? That's why. That's who I am.
I thought it was kind of darkly witty, but I'd wake up the neighborhood and they'd all be confused due to stupidity, senility or youth.
I woke up and nearly yelled out the front door "This isn't the first time a Jew's been accused of communism in this country ya know!"
Thanks for your kind words everyone. Want to think now about patriotism, globalism, humanity and healing the tears in my faith and spirit.
I find the suggestion of calling the police so funny. Violent crime, theft and gang/drug issues are rightfully their priorities 'round here.
Please explain this all to me, because I do not understand, and this vandalism just put me in a very dark place I've managed to avoid.
People walk onto my property and harm my belongings, maybe even with a longer term intent to harm me if I don't knuckle under.
So the IRS swooped through my accounts for back taxes, and have levied my wages. The US Passport Office is refusing to release my Passport.
I think the USA is on the verge of another "civil" war. Except it's being fought with malice and vengeance, hatred and all things NOT civil.

Obama's speech to Tucson regarding the issues here, one of his most moving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_Tucson_memorial_speech
What makes me most ashamed is that I feel like I have to remove the Obama sticker to protect myself. That's anti-American, full stop.

This is very serious. In case you want some context, look up: Gabrielle Giffords, Safeway, Tucson, jan 8 2011. That's where I live.
