Weeell, I did MY civic DUTIES today!
My son and I were going to have lunch with my husband today. As I turned into the mall where we were headed, I see a piece of SHIT Ford Escort in front of me with a Bush/Cheney "A Stronger Leadership" bumper sticker. :puke: Upon further PEERING INTO THEIR CAR WINDOW, I see 3, THREE, TRES....young MALES...maybe late 20s early 30s. We were coming to a stop sign so I passed him and got in front of him and sat at the stop sign for oh, maybe 1 minute, to let them read all of my anti-Bush bumper stickers. ;) I went and parked at the restaurant and as we are walking in I see the piece of shit Ford Escort park about 5 cars down from me. :evilgrin: We had lunch and after lunch I walked back to my car and got: The Downing Street Memo talking points flier, My homemade flier that says "ENLISTMENTS ARE DOWN! YOU SUPPORT BUSH. WHY ARE YOU HERE? I AM MAKING THIS EASY FOR YOU...TAKE THIS ENLISTMENT FORM AND ENLIST NOW! OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ ARE DYING FOR YOUR HELP! ENLIST NOW!!!!!" and I left 3 enlistment forms on the windshield. :evilgrin::bounce:

THEN, we go right across the street to Target. I park. I get out of the car and RIGHT BEHIND ME ON THE NEXT AISLE OVER IS A VAN WITH 4!!!!! BUSH/CHENEY BUMPER STICKERS across the back window! So, they got the same 3 papers I left on the Ford Escort. :evilgrin:

That's AT LEAST 4 people who got their bullshit thrown back in their faces today! :bounce: I HOPE it pissed them off! :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

16. Oh he was , he was
you see he is originally from Israel, all started very innnocently.

He has a very heavy accent so we assumed he did his time in the IDF.. so I asked him, what branch of service? (Remember all 18 year old Israelis SERVE),

But, I ,,,, came to the ... US when I was 12

So you tell me you did not go back to do your four years of MANDATORY SERVICE?

But, but... I ... was a US Citizen.

Nice (Never mind you cannot give that one up) So you never served but you are telling me I have no clue how this works (Game simulation)

Well it is bad game theory

Ok, so what do you think of this damn war? You know the real article

Well you have to understand them Aryabs....

I have to understand neither jack or shit, go to USarmy.com and enlist and go over there or shut the fuck up. Time to put up or shut up!

Given that my hubby did 20 in the US Navy and I did my time too... he had no cover... it was so SWEET! He walked away foaming about them liberals... and he could not even accuse me of antisemitism... if he did I would have trown in his face the fact that I am Jewish too and have family o'ver there who ahem have done their duty to the nation that they were born at...

19. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Smack Down!
:yourock: That was awesome! :toast:

I thought ALL Israeli citizens were OBLIGATED to serve? Even if he was living here, wasn't he suppose to return and serve his time?

20. Yep, in fact if he lands in Israel
never mind he is a tad old... he should be shipped to boot camp...

On the bright side, for this yellow streaked, he is brilliant so they may use him in Intelligence...

Oh and since this is a military family he has no standing with us... he canot tell us that we are full of it... for well WE HAVE served and in the line of fire no less

15. That should be fun to watch.
You want to see repukes turn Democratic? Reinstate the Draft! They will be beside themselves! They aren't sending THEIR babies to Iraq! They support the war as long as they don't have their family over there being killed. HYPOCRITES....all of them.

22. As a driver of a 95 Escort wagon I object to your Escort bashing.
In addition to being American-made, my Escort is fuel-efficient and dependable. A very sensible car.

27. I thought the same thing
Love the whole enlistment/dsm fliers thing - but Escorts are really decent cars. The people in the cars are POS - not the cars.

28. It also smacked of snobbery, which seems to be on the rise at DU
Edited on Tue Jun-21-05 12:36 PM by UdoKier
along with certain other right-wing tendencies...

I suppose we should all be driving brand new Audis?

But thanks for the support. :)

29. I'm sorry...I didn't mean to insult your car.
Edited on Tue Jun-21-05 02:10 PM by in_cog_ni_to
His car WAS rusty, bumper falling off, no paint left on it and had a repuke bumper sticker on it with THREE freepers inside. I wouldn't be offended if a DUer insulted a "type/model" of car "I" drive! SOME people are just TOO DAMN SENSITIVE ABOUT THEIR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS! Damn. That's just fucking RIDICULOUS that YOU would be offended that I insulted HIS piece of shit car just because YOU happen to drive the same make car. Chill the fuck out. It wasn't insulting the Ford Escort itself...IT WAS INSULTING HIS FORD ESCORT. There IS a difference...or don't you know that? :wtf: is your your problem? I have an idea of what your problem is, but I'll keep it to myself...for YOUR sake. OK?

I drive a 1998 vehicle. IF THAT makes you any happier. I DON'T DRIVE A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVEN'T OWNED A BRAND NEW CAR SINCE 1986. HAPPY NOW? Damn. Some people!

30. I'm just sticking up for Ford Escorts.

Re-read your reply. You're the one throwing the tantrum...

PS, I love how you start out with "sorry" then totally take back the "apology".
