A bumper sticker that warmed the cockles of my heart
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 09:44 AM by BOSSHOG
Friday morning driving onboard the naval base in New Orleans, I was behind a truck; the driver was in civvies but had a marine corps haircut. He had a bumper sticker, red white and blue with a silhouette of an eagle and the words:

Blind Allegiance
To Failed Leadership
is Not Patriotism

What a beautiful site to behold

9. Nice!
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 10:12 AM by Evergreen Emerald
I like that one! I collect bumber-stickers and lapel buttons. Here are my two favorites:

"Will someone give Bush a BJ so we can impeach him already?"

"Are we talking about the same God here, because yours sounds like kind of a Dick"

11. I had the opposite experience yesterday
I went to lunch with cousins, one of whom lives in the "good" part of town. On the way back, I was cut off by a little bitch driving a white SUV and yacking on a cellphone. She was weaving in and out of traffic, and I wasn't the only one who had to slam on the brakes. On the back of that SUV were multiple Stupid04 stickers.

Of course, I'm sure a lot of people she pissed off were making the connection.

26. I have that one on my minivan
right next to my W(rong) sticker.

both of them look like the pro-W crap you usually see around here, unless you're one of the few in my area who actually read.

31. forget bumperstickers
i am starting to worry that there will be a military rebellion in the US in the next few years, starting at the top brass all the way down to the infantryman. i like that they're turning against Chimpenstein, but i just get the sense that there's too much intense hate for * boiling underneath the surface.

34. And while reading it, you crashed.
Too long. Too wordy. Too many big words to reach the people a bumper sticker has to reach.

36. That should be the Democratic slogan!
And from a fellow New Orleanian - what're your thoughts on the election?
