Just saw a magnetic bumper sticker on a toyota that said "Freedom Isn't Free"
Mind you, it looked brand new and it amazes me that anyone would still be willing to hang their hat on this war in public anymore.

Beeothch was in front of me and I gave her my normal finger down the throat sign from her rear view mirror.

I live in freeperville and I hate it.

Our baseball coach is the brother of Howard Kaloogian.

Someone save me.

5. I was talking about the sign but yes the Toyota was late model
She had the darn sign sideways on the very small panel on the side of her license plate because it wouldn't fit any other way.

I really want a bumper sticker that says "Blind Faith in Bad Leaders in NOT Patriotism. Someone want to email me one?

14. Actually I was talking about the sign too
They love throwing out how 'freedom isn't free', I'd love to ask them how much they think it should cost.

2. Neither is her foreign-make car. I know, those wingnuts with their stickers and magnets drive me
nuts, too. The worst one I ever saw said 'Imagine No Liberals.' I pointed to another sticker that said 'Mean People Suck' and back at the a-hole with the ugly sticker on. And yes he saw me.

factories here and paying American workers slave wages.

I see "W" and "Bush/Cheney '04" bumper stickers everyday. I just don't get it.
:puke:

I had a magnetic yellow ribbon that said, "Support the troops, Bring them home" on my car. It didn't last a week.

6. "Freedom Isn't Free"
So they bought a bumper sticker. I bet that's the only price they're paying. The "Freedom Isn't Free" crowd usually sits back while someone else deals with the cost of war. :eyes:

27. Hey, I grew up in San Clemente.
I'm Danny C's daughter. My sissie (42) still lives down there! I was born in Newport Beach, because that was the closest hospital.

I live in the Murrieta/Temecula area (inland); I just like the houses better. She's surrounded by Rethugs down there, and I'm surrounded by them here (can't win).

We're going to meet with the kids and the husbands at the San Diego Zoo tomorrow!

31. Don't know "Danny C"
Lived there for 20 years, youngest son born in San Clemente Hospital.

Live in Escondido now, talk about culture shock.

Got over it finally after about 7 years.

38. I'll bet there was culture shock.
I'll PM you with our family name (you might know it).

I'll bet Escondido was 'culture shock.'

Take care!

to the "lefties" in their "furn cars"?

Now it's the righties who are driving foreign cars because they don't use American union labor ...

21. they're right. It isn't free. It's been privatized and you have to buy it back from Freedom, Inc.
a division of Halliburton.

35. They are right, it ain't free
but from the costs that he\she ain't paying, you'd think it was.

So when are they joining up?

Put some skin in that damn game!
