"but my sis and bil are fairly apolitical. They say it's safer"
Gawd so much for the "liberal" mindset of being free and easy when some people have to hide their true beliefs and opinions because it's "safer". Sounds like some occupied communist country during WWII rabid with paranoia.
Exactly what we tell them. Gee, the liberals are soooo enlightened and tolerant. I think they're both closet conservatives, at least to some degree, but expressing political or -horror- religious beliefs is strictly, to quote my sister, verboten. John and Teddy and Barney must be so proud! (oh, wait, they are...)
Otoh, I haven't received any feedback (verbal, keying, etc) on my Bush sticker when I visit. And we do play 'spot the Bush stickers' to pass the time on the drive. lol
