The rule is actually "I before E except when it isn't frickin' spelled with an E", but thanks for playing! Your parting gifts include a bumper sticker that will make it easy for the rest of us to identify you as a total idiot.
Not always. Over-zealous English teachers of your youth would have you think so, but in this case, it is appropriate to have the quotations inside the mark of punctuation.

It really bothers me to see that whoever drew this sign was careful enough to scribe guides. So what went wrong? Did he hurry on to painting the letters before he figured out the words (with the actual spelling) he meant to have on the sign?
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I believe in this whole-heartedly.
And I appreciate anyone who has the gumption to protest despite their handicapped abilities to articulate what they oppose. Their right, and ours, to a freedom of speech is something few in this world can savor. Another right we should not forget to savor, though, is the right to mock them.
Some of these signs have been floating around the internet for a while and could be called classics, others are new. They just needed to be collected in one place. Please enjoy, and share it with your friends.

Love the website, but punctuation goes on the INSIDE of quotation marks.
