Man I can’t stand these idiots, They should all just walk.(out of the country)
Just to show where I stand on the issue, I own 3 cars as follows:
1965 GTO 8 mpg going down hill with a tail wind. Prefers leaded!
Front plate reads “suckin’ gas & haulin’ ass”
1988 GMC 4wd full size 13 mpg
2005 GTO been averaging 17 mpg. Which I think is pretty good, best I’ve ever had!
There is plenty of oil if we would just drill it.

I remember driving thru Berserkly a few times when I was stationed in Alameda in the early 90’s. It always bothered me when I would get these strange looks from the inhabitants when they would see my DOD sticker on my truck. Oh well! The military wised up and abandoned the Bay Area since they claim they don’t like us. If anything happens they will be crying the loudest for us to come save their sorry liberal asses and I hope the military says, “We’ll get to you after we save the areas that support us first.”

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou AP and Zombie! My wife’s dad hails from the Berkley area and she considers it a second home (he’s a Republican and she’s a Libertarian. Go figure). This gives me all the ammunition I need to a) get a REALLY good laugh out of the morons with whom I am happy to say I no longer share a state and b) fire off yet another salvo in my endless Berkley-is-NOT-that-great argument (someday I will convince her!). My brother, a staunch Republican himself, did a summer Latin course at the UC and his anecdotes regarding that place are truly priceless. Visiting him when he was there, however, did make me wish I’d brought along the rest of my squad…

I thought the “What’s our oil doing under their soil?” sticker was a sticker making a conservative statement!!! The first time I heard that line used was during a conversation where my husband listened as someone bellyached about how we should never have gone to Iraq and blah, blah, blah. My husband looked at her and said, “You know, I could understand your anger if you could just answer this question: how did OUR oil get under THEIR soil?” It struck me as so funny and ridiculous, but I had no idea it was a bumper sticker.

If only they could build a vehicle that was powered by liberal hypocrisy. Not only is it free and available everywhere, there’s an infinite supply.

1 and 2 are AWD and 4WD. That’s so they can drive them off road and destroy habitat and vegetation while they are polluting.

Well heck yeah we do! Why do you think we buy those things, anyway?

Stop Killing Children For Oil

…and start killing them for personal convenience and political expediency!!

There’s the one (a white Camry wagon):

How many Iraqi children did we kill today?

This car (like the one mentioned above) has the “Keep Abortion Legal” sticker, to which I assert, “Not nearly as many American children die–on a daily basis–from your vaunted practice of defending some whore’s right to choose.”

Sorry, all, for my vitriol. (No rhyme intended.)

That was excellent! Zombie and that mini-camera always get good stuff.

And you must have good eyes Esthier, i did’nt catch that abortion sticker the first time either.

Conservative bloggers/websites should make a habit of exposing this hypocrisy!

Only trouble is, the liberals have no problem with hypocrisy. It’s not even an issue for them.

I am being smeared because I have a new car and I have "blown" through "$250,000.00" dollars of Casey's insurance money.

Cindy wrote this herself after people kept asking why her son didn't have a headstone, something that didn't cost her a dime. Oh, and if you go here., you'll see that she got one before her own son did.

Hey Zombie Upon closer review a lot of those bumper stickers seem to come out of Minneapolis, MN home of Keith Ellison. Just more irony.

Why blur the Licence-Plates?

They clearly want to make a public political statement as is their first ammendment right.

And I’d like to know just who these idiots are so I can avoid them.

Hypocrites.

If they want an SUV that’s good for the environment they should all do what I do and drive the Jeep Liberty with the Diesel Engine running Bio-Diesel.

(Even the B-20 non-sulfurous Bio Diesel is #1 Cheaper as is gets over 30% better MPG than a Gasoline SUV, #2 it’s Better for the enviromnent Emissions-wise, and #3 it has kickass-torque.)

Posers! Wannabees! If those people want to be green (Or in my case Efficient/cheap/anti-terrorist’s-oil) then they should put up or shut up.

And yeah, that was a real good eye catching that "Keep abortion legal" along with a "Stop killing children for oil." I guess it isn't a child until it reaches the 42nd trimester.

well , you know.
