[Tennessee Gal]

1. I can use it to cover the marjuana leaf decal on my car's rear bumper

OK, maybe I don't really have a big green hemp leaf on the back of my car, but if I had any real balls, I would.

[GCP]

2. I got a 5 pack, I'm going to hand them out at work

This is a great idea, thanks for the link :-)

34. Thanks for posting this n/t

[callous taoboy]

3. I don't want a ribbon:

I want a hang man's noose in the shape of the ribbon that says: I support President Bush.

[Ironpost]

51. too good , If you find one let me know

now I'm assless because I just laughed mine off.

[anarchy1999]

4. I think I like it.

More info needed. It's way too early in the am, I need coffee.

[BulletproofLandshark]

5. Good Idea

I just finished ordering mine.

[Ms_Mary]

6. I think I may get one.

[ExclamationPoint]

7. Thats great!

Those support our troups yellow ribbons just annoy me alot for some reason. I'd like a "suppor our troops, bring them home" bumper sticker.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. So I was at a stop light and had to endure this bumper sticker

"Support President Bush and our Troops" on a stars and stripes background. I wanted to :puke: I bought one of those blue ribbons but haven't put in on my car yet.

[datasuspect]

19. try desert camo

ribbon with the same shit on it.

fucking nauseating

[wryter2000]

20. Hi, !

I know why the yellow ribbons annoy me. Because in my experience, the "support the troops" folks don't do squat for the troops. They support the war, not the troops.

[immoderate]

48. I like, "Support the Troops, Bring Them Home!"

--IMM

[trogdor]

37. I saw one that said, "Keep My Son Safe."

At Wal*Mart Nation today. Don't know what to say about that one.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

45. I saw "My daughter is fighting to protect...

your freedoms -- you're welcome" painted on the back of a star-spangled red, white and blue pickup truck. I was so tempted to get out at a stoplight and say something to the numbnut driver, but thought the better of it.

[Spike from MN]

53. I have one of those on my car

along with a boatload of anti-* stickers and a K/E sticker. I'm not sure where I got mine from (cafepress I think) but here's a link from a quick google:

(It's not obvious from the posting order but I was replying to post number 7 where ExclamationPoint was looking for a "support our troops, bring them home" bumper sticker).

[Danmel]

8. Just a Quibble- Shouldn't it be "Bring Our Troops Home?"

Bring home our troops sounds weird

[Rush1184]

27. I thought the same thing

Saying "Bring our Troops Home" has a bit more strenght in the tone

[demigoddess]

33. How about a yellow one with peace symbol

and bring our troops home now

found at
http://www.unitedforpeace.org/catalog/

35. Great stuff on that site

thanks for posting. I've been looking for a flag to replace the US flag on the front of my house

[immoderate]

47. It has a Yiddish accent!

--IMM

[carnie_sf]

9. Great idea n/t

[TN al]

10. I've had one for a month now...

... I waited until after the election to decide that I wanted one for sure. I gave one to my wife but she decided she didn't want to have it so I am keeping it in reserve in case mine is stolen.

12. Hmm...

Uh, I don't think any of us like the war or the slaughter of innocents, but we also all want our troops to come home alive to their families.

I smell a troll.

[wryter2000]

16. Welcome to DU, Soth

There's an alert button for posts like the one above yours. I just exercised it.

:hi:

[wryter2000]

15. Excuse me

Our troops enlisted because they thought they'd be serving their country and maybe getting an education in thanks. They didn't sign up to kill any innocent civilians.

Many of us here have family members serving and don't appreciate people calling them murderers. George W. Bush and his Klan are the murderers, not our troops.

Your attitude is not welcome here and only gives us a bad name.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

21. Nice try

[VTHoosierPatriot]

14. I'm still waiting on my not me wristbands.

Fuck our troops? That's what's going on right now, and I can't support that.

[wryter2000]

17. Hi, Hoosier

:hi:

[Rush1184]

28. What happened to the wrist bands

The whole thing about them died. We need to bring that up again!

[VTHoosierPatriot]

29. It's funny I complained about not receiving them,

and they were in the mailbox this morning.

[AuntieM1957]

38. Got my Not me wristbands this week!

Patience, rush friend,

mine arrived this week..

Hope yours do soon..

[wryter2000]

18. I ordered one

I hope it's as big as those yellow ones.

[tokenlib]

22. A word of caution...

The magnetic ribbons can hurt your cars finish. In fact there is a class action lawsuit because of cars being damaged from some of the "Support the Troops" variety.. I saw one the other day that someone had moved on the car--and it had left a shadow. I wish I had a link to back up my comment--but I don't remember where I saw it.

I love the blue ribbon--but think the window decal variety is safer for the car. Or the bumpersticker from BringThemHomeNow.com. Just trying to be helpful.

[immoderate]

49. I was told they hurt when it rains.

Supposedly, it's the water that gets caught underneath that causes the damage.

The good thing about the magnets is that you can take them off when the car is unattended.

[TygrBright]

23. I know the intentions are good, but...

If all the money Americans have spent on these retarded magnet dingies to make some kind of "statement" had been collected and sent to the military hospitals, every wounded soldier would have warm comfortable clothing, a phone card to call friends and relatives, and other things they need. The government whose policies they got their asses shot off to support doesn't supply these things, of course.

And it doesn't pay them enough to buy them for themselves.

How about lightening up on the "for appearances" statements and making some real statements of support for the poor buggers who are getting nailed?

wearily,
Bright

[wryter2000]

31. Hey, Tygr

It isn't either/or for me. I've sent several care packages to Iraq and am getting ready to send more.

www.booksforsoldiers.com is a great website

[Doctor Panacea]

24. Dangerous where I live

Where I live - in Tennessee - I would be afraid to put any kind of decal on my car that was in any way anti-Chimp. My car would be vandalized within one week, I am sure. People here love the Chimp.

[AuntieM1957]

40. Be Strong!

I live in TEXAS/ there are fewer chimp lovers here than they think\

Many, Many people are afraid to disagree.

Your courage is sorely needed.

When I express my opinion on my vehicle or otherwise, you would be amazed how many approach me to say they wish they had the courage to be so open.

You must be the change = evil flourishes when good men (or women) do nothing!

[lolly]

25. Why No actual ribbons?

I'd wear a blue ribbon with "Bring Home Our Troops," but I don't really want a car magnet. I don't like putting anything on my car.

[MrScorpio]

26. As a current troop whose younger brother is also a troop and in Iraq

I wholeheartedly love your idea and the support that you're showing.

Thanks

[Catherine Vincent]

30. Thanks, I'm goanna buy some right now!

[BrklynLiberal]

32. Excellent idea!!!! Am ordering a 5 pack immediately! n/t

[demigoddess]

36. bought two

i liked them better than the yellow ones ,stands out more

[AuntieM1957]

39. Sorry, I will support nothing that remotely resembles

that heinous yellow ribbon. The fools who sport them are unaware and blind to the truth.

Why would I ever put something remotely like theirs on my vehicle?


The only answer is absolute difference.

[borlis]

41. Has anyone seen any that say "Save Our Democracy"?

That's one I would use.

[Stand and Fight]

42. Great Message!

Nice. I got one. However, they should listen to some of the posts here and switch the wording around. Nonetheless, I love the message and the promotion of what our true aim should be in the idiotic unjust Iraq War.

[bajamary]

43. our car ribbon "Pray for Peace, Work for Justice"

Hi DU Folks,

I just wanted to let you know my website has a car ribbon magnet that I designed which reads:

"Pray for Peace, Work for Justice"

http://www.4-my-country.com

I'm new to DU, so I don't know how to have an image posted inside my message, sorry as one picture is well, explains itself fairly well.

BYT, it's a blue ribbon with white lettering.

Cheers,
Mary

[UTUSN]

44. Well, Kick-a-poo n/t

[RamboLiberal]

46. I got one right after the election

and with it as soon as I get it will be my

Draft Young Republicans bumper sticker.

[Lerkfish]

50. just ordered 5

[goddess40]

52. Ordered 10, extra to give away

I really dislike the other ribbons and will be glad to sporting the one with the right message.

[ihaveaquestion]

54. I already have mine!

cause my far-out Mom bought 5 of them!
