My last one was also in 1979 and it said only "Bald is beautiful" and was beside my private tag that said "Baldy". I had so much fun driving and watching the response of many people when I tipped my head back for them when they were behind me and toward them when they passed. Sometimes I saw people grab the driver and point at me as both laughed their butts off.

If I had put on an OBAMA sticker here I would have been chased out of town. Very few here supported him, at all.

I saw an O'bummer bumper sticker today... along with an american flag bumper sticker... the car was right in front of me for about a mile and a half before it turned into a bad neighborhood of town... don't worry, I kept my distance.


I didn't notice any traffic violations per say, but I did notice the driver threw out not 1, but 2 cigarette buds , WHILE DRIVING, with no consideration for the environment or other drivers..

I'm just glad it was afternoon time, if it was dark outside, the driver probably would've been throwing out glass beer bottles.

The Sturmabteilung (SA) (German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊʁmʔapˌtaɪlʊŋ] ( listen); English: Storm Detachment; or English: Stormtroopers) functioned as a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. SA men were often called "brownshirts" for the colour of their uniforms (similar to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts).

What was that about folks who opposing Obama being based purely on issues of policy?

Easy.

I used to have "Obama/Biden 2008," "Animals are friends, not food," and "Love your Mother" (with a picture of the earth) on my car.

Then I had a major shift in my beliefs and went with "Abortion stops a beating heart" and "Support the FairTax" as well as two Christian bumper stickers.

I remember in 2008, I put a NOBAMA 2008 magnet on my truck. Looking back now, Im still in disbelief on how wacked everything seemed. Some of you WOULD believe the reactions I received. I live in CT so I think you understand partially why, but the Obama-fever was a nationwide thing. I had punk kids (late teens, college age) driving by and giving me the bird. Even when I had my parents with me who were up here to visit. Classy. But it wasnt just younger people who would give me hand signs or harsh words, it was also grown adults.

Im still stunned to this day, how as a society, so many fell under the spell. And it wasnt just THE PEOPLE, it was the news media and Hollywood. Truly sickening. Whats worse is that many of these same people cant even admit how wrong they were. They struggle to defend all the lies and deceit. They struggle and get desperate when trying to defend this administration. But they wont admit they were wrong and simply do nothing but attack, with mostly lies and falsehoods, the other side.

So no more bumper stickers for me. I dont want to put up with the liberal sheeps garbage or the people who really have no standards except what their favorite idiot celebs tell them to think.
I agree with you! Except I actually can admit how wrong I was. I also don't do bumper stickers anymore, as a business owner, I try to refrain from taking a public stance on political issues (online stuff doesn't count).

I'd like a "Run Obama Run!" bumper sticker. It would also have a little stick-figure picture of me chasing Obama with my car, though.

While I've have not had a bumper sticker on my car since 1968 or 69 (and that was a Capitan Beefheart"Safe as Milk") most at that site were pretty juvenile



I'd go with the "if voting changed anything..." or "There are more then two sides" from that website.

I'd also think something like "People Vote, Dollars Count"

or maybe, "If there was a god, (s)he wouldnt give a damn about either party"

would be pretty good.
