The conservative car I saw-


BelieveinScience

Recommended Posts

The "Choose Life," "Baby on Board," stick figure families, don't engage me as much as the designed to be offensive ones such as "Where's your hope and change?" "NoBama" "Obamacare = socialism" confederate flags, "If you still support Obama, you are stupid," "You are not entitled to my taxes" "Fire Obama"etc.

I've also seen one that just says "1-21-13". (I'm not 100% on the specific date, but it was 20-something)

I live in a state where residents can actually buy "Choose Life" license plates- and the proceeds go to anti-choice Crisis Pregnancy Centers!

I flip those drivers the bird every time I see one.

My/Our state has those available too, as well as a Pro-Choice plate where the proceeds go to Planned Parenthood. However, none of those proceeds are allowed to go towards abortions. [/irony]

Maybe it was "May 21, 2011?" That was the date Harold Camping said the rapture would happen and all hell would break lose on earth. Some people wrapped their cars and vans with warnings. Maybe the driver of the car you saw wasn't totally convinced? :lol:

LOL I saw the sticker after 5/21/11 so I'm not sure if the person originally had a rapture sticker and then when the rapture didn't happen, they put the 1-21-13. Although, didn't he revise the rapture date to October? (Or was it supposed to be in October 2010 and he revised to May 2011? I forget.)

I think it's a reference to inauguration day. I'm assuming that sticker is from a Romney supporter who is anticipating that day as the day Romney becomes president.

When I lived in Utah, I wanted to get the a family sticker set with one husband 10 wives and enough children to circle the entire rear windshield.

I saw an SUV earlier this month with the vanity plate My At-At, and the decals for the Empire and the Jedi order on the back window.

We have a family on the back of our SUV. But its not stick figures. Its Daleks...

I saw a minivan in the "mother and child" parking at the grocery store the other day, and it had the stick figures on the back. For a minute I rolled my eyes, but once I got close I saw that it said "No one care about your stick figure family" and one of the figures was chasing the others with a chainsaw :lol: If by some disturbing turn of events I ever have kids, that's totally the kind of mom I'd want to be.

Of all the bumper stickers I've seen, the one that pissed me off the most said "We can't all be liberals. Some of us have to work."

Just. :evil: :angry-cussing:

I'd totally want to be that kind of mom too! :lol: A few of my friends bought a ton of stickcat figures and covered another friend's car in them. She thought it was so great she left it. :)

Re: Choose life plates.

My Aunt is a professor who has the stereotypical college professor attitude. Shes a raging liberal freak: as in she is where republicans get their ammo from. .....She has a choose life plate because she liked the design and though it meant "respect life" in an earthy way and didn't bother reading the information that the proceeds go to anti-abortion groups. I've always been torn between whether I should tell her but she has her head so far up her ass she'd probably argue with me. On the other end it makes me rather irritated that she's unknowingly giving money to those groups.

Well, I have a bumper sticker on my desk that says "I vote Socialist because I work for a living." Maybe it can even out :D

(I would have loved to reverse-shoplift that thing in the five and dime in Branson, MO, when I was there visiting - talk about right-wing bumper sticker heaven!)

I've seen a few too many of those license plates recently. Almost all of them are surrounded by pro-Romney, pro-gun, and anti-choice stickers.

Yeah, that's what I assumed when I saw the sticker. It was a lone sticker on a truck driven by a cowboy-lookin' dude. Usually, 'round these parts, the cowboy-looking people are not really Obama supporters

I've seen a few that have read "engine in car" and "evolve dammit!" My dad has one that says "Jesus is coming and boy is he pissed!"

There's a guy around here who has "Jesus is coming, look busy."

Then there's another guy in a mini van who has large, vinyl words put all over his car like "Jesus saves" all down one side and "You can hid from Jesus" across the back hatch. :roll: I see that van at the school every day and always wonder about his kids.

About the "Baby on board" signs:

I've been told that it's supposed to be to alert rescue workers in an accident.

Unfortunately no-one takes them down when they take the baby out, so that's fucked up.

In Greece it's been all the rage to slap a laminate on an illegally parked car. The laminate has the outline of a donkey and says "I Parked In This Spot Because I Am An Ass". People carry them around in purses or briefcases to put on a car as the necessity arises.

I've got something similar to that! Mine are static cling things (so I can't be called a vandal) that say "You park like shit" :D Got them from my SIL for Christmas a few years ago.

The only stickers on our car are a flying pig and an American University alum thing.

(Flying pig below spoiler because it's huge)

I spotted a Romney/Ryan R logo on the back of one of the neighbor's cars and was a bit dismayed until I looked closer and realized it actually said "turd sandwich". :)

Not a lot of people like to put stickers on their luxury cars around here, aside from those family ones in the back window. I've been seeing Romney stickers but only in the past 2 weeks or so. There are also still a lot of people who have Obama stickers from 2008. A lot of the 'coexist' stickers as well. I have been stuck being a forced birth stickered car at a light a few times, though. But generally we have the "welfare scumbags stole my money" type of conservatives, not the "it should be illegal to sin" types.

Re: Jesus stickers, I was walking into the grocery store one time and I walked past a car that had a sticker that said, "My boss is a Jewish carpenter" (meaning Jesus). Only I read it as Jewish composer and spent the whole time I was in the store wondering why that car's owner wanted the world to know that he or she worked for a Jewish composer. On the way out of the store, I realized it said carpenter, but I still didn't get it. I was halfway home before I was like, "Ohhhhhh!"

I took a class on Medieval art last year and we had one day where we talked about early Christianity and early Christian art. The professor brought up the fish symbol, and then just for fun she had a whole slide of all the variations on the car fish. I think there was even a flying spaghetti monster one. I would love to see that in real life.

We don't really do bumper stickers in the UK but in Scotland you'll sometimes get "It's Scotland's Oil" in the back window. Bit retro, but people do it.

I have a French bumper sticker I got as a birthday present which says (badly translated) "Trade unions should take control of society. Be an activist! Signed, Committee of Revolutionaries" It's sat next to my desk at work. Then I heard my bosses speaking French.... :oops: :lol:

I'm partial to the Darwin fish, myself.

When we owned a garage, the son of one of my childhood neighbors brought his car in. His parents were very strict Catholics. When he and his sister were little, they were not allowed to come and play at our house because my mother was divorced. Their father told them our house wasn't "safe" for them to play at. :roll: Additionally, I was never allowed inside their house. Their mother would bring drinks outside for us when I played there.

So you can imagine my amusement when their son dropped his car off to be worked on and there was a big ol' Darwin fish on the back. Gotta love it when people repress their kids right into doing / believing whatever it is they are trying so hard to keep them away from. Karma, bitches! ;)

I have seen a few FSM fishes myself, we also had a friend with a Cthulu fish that was pretty cool.

Even though the historical inaccuracy bugs me, I do like the bumper sticker, "the last time we mixed politics and religion people were burned at the stake". Personally I don't put stickers on my car now, but some do make me laugh, or want to go on a shooting spree against ignorance.

I never liked my neighbors after they put up Pro Prop 8 signs. I told tankboy that was the bigots house every time we went by until we moved. They tried to be friendly to us, but it took everything in me not to yell at them, after those signs.

The FSM one is pretty ubiquitous in my town, it is after all the birthplace of that particular faith and homage is paid to that particular deity Sunday's after 5pm at a local pub. The dinner special is always spaghetti and meatballs and when your tab comes, it reads 'FSM with balls". :D

My co-worker and I were talking shit about another co-worker (behind their back, of course) who had a Yes on 8 sticker on their vehicle and a few weeks later I noticed the sticker was gone :D

HOWEVER, I still remember that this person put the sticker on their vehicle and I find it hard to be friendly with them. I just picture the stupid yellow sticker when I see them. It almost makes me wanna put a NOH8 sticker on my car, but I don't like doing the sticker thing so I carry a keychain on my purse.

I want one that says my boss is a Jewish doctor. ( he really is)
