Has anyone else noticed this?
While my husband and I were out driving last night we noticed FAR fewer of those yellow "Support our Troops" ribbons on the backs of cars than even a couple of weeks ago. Do you think this has any connection to shrub's numbers tanking over the last week or two? Let me know if this is true in your part of the country...I'm in Warren County, NJ which has been * friendly.

1. They must ALL be
visiting my area in Rockingham, NC all at the same time. I think there are more here than there have been.

2. Interesting that you should say that because
I'm in the Philly suburbs and I just noticed the very same thing!

They used to be everywhere!!

I'm quite sure that we will not see an increase in them again when we go after Syria and Iran!!

Hopefully, we will start to see a lot more of the '60s style ANTI-WAR
slogans on cars.

3. I haven't really noticed that myself
Here in Tallahasee FL it seems like there are still plenty of the yellow and the flag ribbons around.

4. Lots and lots of them here in No. Georgia.
From what I have noticed just about one out of every five cars is plastered with those stickers.

5. People are bored...
I think people are bored with this war. It's not exciting anymore. Time to get back to our "normal" lives, doncha know?

7. Probably read that the magnets mess with the paint on your car...
They'll support the troops, as long as it doesn't ruin the paint job...

9. From a Maher propaganda poster:
"Put a flag on your car, it's literally the least you can do."

10. I'm noticing less of the yellow ones and more of the "Hitler's
Germany-esque", propaganda type, American eagle, red, white and blue, and cammo ones. It makes me sick that they've dropped the yellow altogether.
