Saw this a while back and it still disgusts me
"Today! Our soldiers died so that you keep YOUR freedom!"

A big decal, of creative grammatical design, that ran the entire width of the back window of....







....a shiny yellow Hummer. :grr:

Lots of those pieces of junk in Vegas, this one toting a couple of Pillsbury doughpeople who, apparently, have no clue as to the irony inherent to a vehicle that does eight miles to the GI sporting that decal.

Pigs.

1. I'm not a person prone to violence, however...
...I'd really like to smack the shit out of anyone with that sticker on their fucking Hummer.

13. No challenge, though, unless they keep their trusty AR-15 in the
glovebox.

The best I could manage was a focused glare, that I know they caught...I was 6'5" of black leather, being on my way back to where my motorcycle was parked, and probably the only way I could have been more intimidating to them was if my skin tone more closely matched the color of my leather.

I'm going to have to trust in Karma for the likes of them, I guess.

Like, for starters, when gas prices finally get up toward the $5 a gallon that so many people in other countries pay... :D

3. Surrender! Your IP and name have been recorded.
Are you guilty?
Option 1) Say yes, as that is what guilty people do, and get shot.
Option 2) Say no, as that is what guilty people do, and get shot.

Choose, evil freedom hater!

5. You know, I was in OKC a couple of months ago..
at the memorial, and there is a patio area with chalk, so anyone can put down there thoughts. Someone wrote, "this is why we're in Iraq!" I couldn't have been more at a loss for words (not!). How do these people fool themselves on a daily basis?

8. If they want to drive a hummer
they need to enlist and drive one over there.

Today our soldiers died while our administration continues to steal our freedoms.

:cry:

14. And just think how they can trick out their Fallujah 'Mers--
using leftover parts for armour from the ones their brethren and sistren died in. :scared:

I'm not prone to violence either, but sometimes, I swear...

:mad:

10. I have a very hard time with that.
I sit on pins and needles wondering when/if my kids are going to have to go over there. It just makes me nuts to see something like this. Everyone with a decal like that should take the place of one of those soldiers.

:grr:

15. We should be allowed to fire on Hummers
Hey, they're paramilitary vehicles, so there could be terrists in 'em.

17. It's time to play cowboys and muslims
I saw that beautiful gem the other day. The same vehicle also has the oh so cute "Terrorist Hunting Permit" sticker in their window.

A fucking laugh riot. :mad:

18. Big talk is often the sign of a small mind.
There's a person who shops at the same supermarket I do, and he has a really big bumpersticker in the back window of his car -- goes all the way across the lower back window -- that says "Support Our Troops by Supporting President Bush". :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
