The worst bumper-sticker EVER!
Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 04:01 PM by DemoTex
Just spotted on a pickup truck in southwest Transylvania County, NC:

The US Capitol Building with a big Confederate flag flying above the dome. The text above the graphic read:

I HAVE A DREAM!

It is the most in-your-face, disgusting bumper-sticker I can recall ever seeing. It manages to insult just about everyone except stupid, racist, southern white-trash.

And I wasn't around much before March, let alone organizing events.

We were simply ships passing in the night, dear. You can come back to visit, can't you?

6. They Are Losers
Living in Missouri I see a lot of Rednecks. And mostly they are just really losers who are looking for a way to seem manly.

Saw the same thing about bikers once. A whole lot of them have sexual dysfunction problems so they dress up and act like a big deal to cover it up.

Same thing with the right-wing white supremists. Just a bunch of losers who like to play army. Makes them feel important.

That doesn't mean they aren't dangerous to mess with. Watch out for that baseball bat!

22. Hi Mary!
We are kinda sorta new to this place.
We are both in Missouri.

I am originally from New York City and now I'm HERE.

Land of Ashcroft and Branson, Vegas for REAL rednecks.

I can't comment on the sexual dysfunction problems though.

Maybe it's the smokeless tobacco.

Welcome to both of us.

I kinda like it here!

7. That would be the flag of traitors, now wouldn't it?
Disclaimer: I was 12 before I learned that Damn and Yankee were 2 separate words; however, my family (including my parents) evolved.

If you secede from a sovereign nation and wage war against that nation, aren't you a traitor?

11. Kinda like we did with England?
Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 04:44 PM by Bandit
Yes you are correct. That is traitorous activity and why our forefathers were so adamant about sticking together. Remember "We must hang together or surely we will all hang separately." Since we won that war we can record history as a winner and not a traitorous loser. It is a different story with the Confederates. They Lost they need to get over it. We have established relations with England but the Confederacy is no more so the flag is indeed a flag of treachery and treason.

20. There is a diffrence...
If you win (or just write the history books), you are not a trator. Only recently have the secessionists attempted rewriting the history books.

9. Cartaret County, North Carolina
This weekend. A guy flying a six foot long confederate flag on a pole in the back of his pick up truck. The beach shops offer confederate flag towels and shirts in their display windows. Sickening.

Man, this state still has a loooooong way to go.

24. Saw this one on a truck a few years back.
It was faded and outdated, but unfortunately, the sentiment is still alive and thriving today.

"FREE JAMES EARL RAY. HE SHOWED US THE WAY."

(For those who don't get it, James Earl Ray murdered Martin Luther King. And he's the only one we currently know about.)

It seems unbelievable that someone would/could drive around with this racist piece of shit in full view. However, a few days after 9/11 I saw a pickup truck that had a huge American flag and a rebel flag of the same size, staked out in the truckbed and flying in the wind as a statement for all to see.

I thought about running the son-of-a-bitch off the road, but for some incomprehensible reason, we're not THEM.
