W stickers and delusions; and why we are WINNING.
I've often wondered as I drive to and from work, seeing several cars with the ubiquitous "W" oval stickers, still others with Bush/Cheney stickers, if those who still PROUDLY have them displayed are out of touch, ignorant, stupid, or arrogant.

If a president I helped elect was polling in the mid-30s even among the most generous biased pollsters, I'd troll out the WD40 and get that thing off of my car in a heartbeat for fear that someone would vandalize it.

It occurs to me that the "W" sportin' folks aren't afraid, nor should they be. We on the Left are above such arrogant, disrespectful, and destructive behavior (I believe an awful lot of "them" know this too) and we should pride ourselves on that. I do.

However, we know that the other side is not--my yard sign and bumper sticker experience in '04 bears that out. They didn't stop with my yard sign, either.

The good news is--these ARE stupid, ignorant, out of touch, arrogant people. Yes, I said that's GOOD news.

They watch FAUX. They listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and "pretty, pretty hair" Tucker Carlson. They feel quite safe--nothing distorts their "reality."

That's just fine by me. They believe they are still ahead and that their factions are still strong.

Let them have FAUX, and Rush, and Tucker. Let them hear what they want to hear. Some hearts and minds are lost to us and we needn't worry about such a small faction, nary a bit.

Those Americans willing to open their minds have seen through the fog of BS and have come to our side of the fence.

We don't need to move to the center for those with open minds, nor should we--open minds are willing to move left just to get rid of this vile administration.

I'm jumping for joy about Delay's DEFEAT--make no mistake, he's running away with his tail between his sorry legs. He is DEFEATED. I know he isn't out, but he's way, way down--and as long as he stays near the Hill, we'll be watching his every move.

We are winning, make no mistake. And pardon my arrogance, but yes, I laugh a little at those damn white ovals. I'm only human.

2. The right-wing gets deeply disturbed when Liberals show "backbone"
They picture us as soft, weak, push-over wimpy pacifist cowards.

If you want to rock their world, make them understand, WAKE THEM UP...

YOU HAVE TO SHOUT AT THEM!



Nothing rattles a right-winger more than an ANGRY liberal.



Go out and SHOUT!



Yeah, the cops stopped by my house once... so?

4. Indeed; and I've found my social voice in the matter.
The FAUX News, pretty Tucker crowd can't deal with the facts.

I used to be intimidated, but now I speak up and others join me.

And yes, I am getting a bit arrogant myself!

7. Asking a "Vietnam Vet for Bush" if he was part of Project 100,000
might not win hearts and minds...

might get you killed...

but it sure is cathartic.

6. I've seen enough fingers "pointing" them out that I doubt they could.
No, I don't do that, regardless of how tempted I am, but I've seen many who have "pointed" out the stickers, if you catch my drift.

Pardon me for my ignorance. I'm Australian. Does the "W" stand for wanker?

12. Bushista has a 67% disapporval rating in CT, yet...
I manage to see 2 "W 04'" stickers a day. These people are the true right wing fringe.

13. The W sticker squad have the bunker mentality while
the bombs continue to fall around them. Always confident that their "fearless" leader* will come through with a new plan or miracle weapon to defeat the enemy...

Oh wait sorry that was hitler's crowd. Huh, funny how that works.

colossal racist failure*
