Driving in Central Florida yesterday and I'm stopped at a red light behind a BIG ass pickup truck...

[givemebackmycountry]

A pretty new Ford F150 pickup truck.

It had a "choose life" yellow license plate that has a little kids hand-print in red on it.

Then I notice the small bumper sticker on the lower left chrome bumper.
It's black and the white print on it says the following: "Support the troops, especially the snipers".

A "choose life" license plate with a "support the snipers" bumper sticker.

Only in Florida.

sigh...

1. Believe me, it's not only in Florida.

5. Second that

18. Most here don't, though

If anything deserves a license plate plug, it is the scenic beauty of the state, not an agricultural product (just one among many).

2. He means "Choose who gets to live." (nt)

3. Pure tribalism...

...the numbers of Our tribe must constantly be increased, at any cost. But the Other tribe -- they're not actually people.

4. Support some life with an asterisk would be more truthful...

support life before birth..then they're on their own...and if they're brown, shoot 'em down!

6. vs what? choose death.....

I live in Florida too. It is totally crazy here, I have seen many unreal signs.

8. Unfortunately, it's not just in Florida

I've seen stickers like that around here as well. And on passenger cars as well as large pickups. Now my question is, why put a sticker like that on a nice truck? Trucks usually have a higher resale value than cars and putting on a sticker like that reduces the value of said truck.

10. Some people don't care about the alleged resale value.

I have stickers all over the back of my truck. I plan on driving it until it wears out-so far 19 years and 130K miles.

[Bluzmann57]

12. Don't blame you

And only 130,000 miles in 19 years? You may have that truck forever. That isn't very many miles in 19 years.

[sweetapogee]

19. resale value: would that include

bumper stickers adorning a big ass truck just before election time?

9. Those types value embryos, not adult humans.

11. I've known two snipers

one from 'Nam and one from Desert Storm (Gulf I) - they were both BATSHIT CRAZY! The first was a also a drug addict - pot, heroin, anything. Worked as a handyman.

The second is even scarier - a successful businessman in the "security business" - hiring out mercenar - i mean "security guards" - all over the world. Katrina was a "big break" for his new business getting all kinds of money to arm his little army with the latest gadgets.

He wanted to give my son a shirt one time. A shirt that had a bullethole (and blood) from one of his "kills". My son was 11 at the time. :eyes:

13. Idiots are everywhere. On the back of a cadillac not long

ago I saw a bumper sticker with a pic of Bush asking me if I miss him yet.

I would never deface someone's property, but it was all I could do not to write a big "Hell no" on that thing.

[RC]

14. Don't give the link the hits.

[LibDemAlways]

15. I removed the link and just described the thing. Hideous!

[theHandpuppet]

16. Oh, it's not only Florida

Try NW Virginia and West Virginia -- you'll see that kind of bumper sticker hypocrisy everywhere here! Except here the same trucks are usually accessorized with rubber testicle hitch covers. Remember, "Happiness is a warm machine gun!" (bumper sticker, next to the Christian fish emblem, espied on a truck bumper at a local grocery).

17. True...there are some of them in Massachusetts, too. n/t
