Patriotic Bumper Stickers From a Liberal Perspective

Posting an email that's been forwarded to you is one of the cheapest ways to make a blog post, but in this case, I can't resists. Thanks to my friend David for forwarding this to me. (Living in Texas, I see a lot of right wing, conservative bumper stickers, so the liberal perspectives below are a real treat for me.

These bumper stickers were compiled by Jerry Paull, a former Methodistminister in Lakeside, Ohio, who writes: "The following actual bumperstickers are now on cars. I didn't write any of them. I'm only themessenger."

• Blind faith in bad leadership is not patriotism.
• If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
• If you supported Bush, a yellow ribbon won't make up for it.
• Poverty, healthcare, and homelessness are moral issues.
• Of course it hurts. You're getting screwed by an elephant.
• Religious funamentalism: a threat abroad, a threat at home.
• God bless everyone. (No exceptions.)
• Bush spent your social security on his war.
• Pro America, Anti Bush.
• Who would Jesus bomb?
• I'd rather have a president who screwed his internet than one who screwed his country.
• Jesus was a social activist - that is, a liberal.
• My values? Free speech, equality, liberty, education, tolerance.
• Is it 2008 yet?
• Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. --Thomas Jefferson
• Don't blame me. I voted against Bush, twice.
• Annoy a conservative; think for yourself.
• Visualize impeachment.
• Hey Bush! Where's Bin Laden?
• Corporate media = mass mind control.
• Stop mad cowboy disease.
• George W. Bush - Making terrorists faster than he can kill them.
• Keep your theocracy off my democracy.
• Democrates are sexy. Whoever heard of a good piece of elephant?
• Corporate media - weapons of mass deception.
• Don't confuse dying for oil with fighting for freedom.
• Stem cell research is pro life.
• Hate, greed, ignorance - weapons of mass destruction.
• Honor our troops - demand the truth.
• Rebuild Iraq? Why not spend $87 billion on America?
• Fact - Bush Oil. 1999, $19/barrel. 2006, $70/barrel.
• The last time religion controlled politics, people were burned at the stake.

I agree with most of these, although I do think we have a responsibility to rebuild Iraq, since we're the ones who went in and toppled their government and put the country in such a disarray.

BTW, just a quick addition. My friend Cliff is launching a website about his opinions of politics and current events soon - be sure to be on the lookout for it.
