Bumper Stickers
Nov. 4th, 2004 08:17 pmI've decided it's time for me to purchase and display an "American flag" bumper sticker. And a "Pro-Choice, Pro-Child" bumper sticker. And an "Equal Rights" bumper sticker. Maybe even something along the lines of "Pre-emptive war is terrorism." How about "Civil rights ARE freedom?"
It's my flag, too. I'm sick of it standing for jingoism, violence, and intolerance. I'm tired of shying away from anything which displays pride in my nation for fear that people will think I approve of bombing civilians, demonizing anyone who disagrees with our President, denying basic equal rights to roughly 10% of American's population, and giving tax breaks to the very richest while cutting funds programs which aid the poor. Those who support GWB can go find a new symbol.
Any bets on how long it takes for my vehicle to be defaced because of said stickers?
( Maybe it's also time to resurrect the e-mail sig I used while GWB was twisting the tragedy of 9/11 into a reason to invade Iraq. )
