Does this tail gate make my state of NC look small? Shame allows me to only post this late at night.
I walked past this parked truck at my local YWCA tonight.
At first I was shell shocked and dismayed. Then, as I took in the whole of it, including the smaller stickers of "I'm proud to be an American" - and "Thank you George Bush for Keeping us Safe" I simmered down and let it slide into the abyss of ignorance it exhibits.

We have a lot of work to do in NC.

2. And under that bumper sticker that reads "Thank you President Bush for keeping us safe"
it should say: Except for that 911 thing.

Oh and by the way, this poser took this idea from a Union guy in Wisconsin who did this with his truck and a picture of Scott Walker.

15. And Bush as well IIRC. Either way, these things are the cleverest eva...
...to folk here when Republicans are the target.

And yet hateful bigotry when turned about.

Has the OP any idea exactly petty and small this complaint makes them look.

3. These are the same sort of asses that say ...
that if President Obama doesn't wear a suit jacket in the Oval Office then he is disrespecting the Office of the Presidency, BUT they have no problem with publicly disrespecting the President of the United States.

The GOP makes me sick!
I'm just happy that all my family members are democrats and the 'majority' of my friends are also.

4. Here's what I'll do:
I'll make one and put it under his windshield wiper as a gift, surely it will be there again soon.

(I make B-stickers for a living, so it will be a professional job. I also think it's not right to put something ON someone else's car)

12. Guess they're just new looking, didn't match the scrapes and scratches of the vehicle.
I believe you though, they're plenty of morons like that in every state,

13. They are professionally done, money paid for, magnetic signs. I know, because
I make these things every week for contractor's vehicles doors. Thanks for back pedaling.:)

14. I skimmed through and didn't realize YOU took the pic yourself.
It actually looked as though it was a kind of template with the back stickers blank for whatever someone wants to write on them. For example, I could blank out the back magnets to all white and we could pass that around DU and have people write whatever they wanted on them using photoshop. Anyway, don't feel bad about that guy, don't ever apologize for other people's ignorance and stupidity. This is America, these idiots are in every state.

11. maybe ...but NC person do not take it
personally as a state . I have seen stuff like this just outside of Chicago in Illinois with my own eyes on vehicles .
Also a lot of proud temporary signs people had the day after election in 2010 too with crap.
I would turn my head if I saw more than one wacko truck in the same place though
