42. Reminds me of the "you can't be Catholic and pro-abortion"
stickers the Republicans sent to the churches of their worshippers in my area before the election.

2. Worst
Some large number (i can't remember the figure) of troops are fighting in Iraq for your freedom and are going to vote for their Commander in Chief). Are you going to negate their votes by voting for Kerry?

Homeade on a computer, and taped in teh back window- drove me nuts everytime I saw it.

Well, more nuts, anyway.

3. A couple have stuck in my mind
Bests:

- He's been dead for 2000 years, get over it
- Look honey, another prolife warmonger
- Christian by choice, democrat by the grace of God
- Focus on your own Damn Family

Worst:

- Heritage not hate (real popular in states with the confederate flag incorporated into their state flag)
- You have your X, I have Mine (more "conservative" values comparing the confederate flag to Malcom X.
- These colors don't run (on the truck bumpers of chickenhawks)

22. "Pray for an End to Abortion"
Sorry, lady, I would rather distribute condoms and birth control and sex education to end abortion, but that's just me :eyes:


Not the worst ever, but the worst I saw today on my way to work.

33. Hmmm, that's actually not a bad one
I don't think anyone in this country actually wants abortions - but we have different ideas on how to achieve an end to abortion. They want to do away with birth control (or at least make it difficult to obtain), and make abortion legal. We value a woman's right to choose, but at the same time we'd like to make abortion unnecessary altogether by effective & affordable means of birth control and education.

34. But my point is that praying won't end it
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 01:44 PM by meganmonkey
And most people who oppose abortion politically for religious reasons also believe in abstinence-only education, and think contraception should be illegal.

Which I why I mentioned in my previous post the need for sex education and contraception just like you did, but maybe you didn't read that far :shrug:

edit for spelling

23. Worst: "Happiness Is A Warm Machine Gun"
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 01:32 PM by theHandpuppet
Spotted in a grocery store parking lot in Front Royal, VA.

Tied for Kuckledragger Sticker of the Year: A bumper sticker reading "I Have A Dream...". Anyone thinking this reference to MLK's famous speech had anything to do with our civil rights leader's dream of a color blind America will be rudely awakened upon closer inspection of ths sticker, which sports a picture of the Capital building with the Confederate Stars and Bars flying over it. Spotted in Martinsburg, WV on a commercial truck from Maryland.

Best: "I Was Born O.K. The First Time" -- seen this morning in Martinsburg, WV

43. Someone seriously had a bumper sticker wishing for a return to the pre-
Civil Rights era of embarassing American history????????

People like that make me want to rethink my stance on violent aggression.

24. Worse
By far is any version of the fish with Darwin written in it being eatin by a fish with Jesus written in it. First why does the fish have Jesus written in it. Don't they understand it's redundant. Second why would anyone advertise their own basic stupidity. Third why does this person want to share their own inner confusion over religion and science.

37. Okay, it wasn't a sticker, it was a couple of signs on a back windshield:
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 01:57 PM by BlueIris
handmade, each maybe four by six inches...black lettering on white background...

"BUSH BODY BAGS" "(Current total American casualties in Iraq)"

The second one looked like it was updated daily.

The best part--the minivan was being driven by a skinny old white guy, and had alumni stickers/faculty parking permits all over it from Oregon State University--one of the most conservative universities in Oregon and NOT a place I have ever heard of anyone protesting the war.
