There are a lot of BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, and Lexuses with Obama bumper stickers. It’s a fashion statement
Liberal in the classic sense as in liberal arts - liberated from the necessity of working/manual labor.
That's sad, that it indeed has come to that pass. She is. Today it is in actuality the Federal Establishment which is set against every free citizen. That Federal Establishment includes the government bureaucracy, but it also includes universities, who are highly protected, funded and regulated by the Federal government. It also includes many financial operations which are tightly entangled with the Federal Reserve and the various Federal regulators. It includes many co-opted "private" enterprises accepting Federal grants, loans, contracts and tacked down like barnacles to the Federal hull.
It also includes those citizens whose daily lives are funded by the Federal Government via jobs, pensions, welfare, grants.
Are we, the still free, a minority?
Today a new civil war has begun. They have attacked us. They have left no way to bargain with them.
A horrible realization but probably true.
These people put the Dem candidate sticker on their cars because it’s like voting to eat. What other choice do they have?
I drove across Missouri and Kansas and half of Colorado last month. On the highway, until I reached Boulder, I saw more Kerry/Edwards stickers than obama. Obots have been busy cleansing their cars of signs pointing to their dopey/changey feelings.
When 47 percent of the population doesn’t pay federal taxes, it’s a foregone conclusion that their vote represents a raid on the coffers of the producers.
Obama has the votes of the non-producers. They are his constituency, along with guilty white liberals, the elite media, race-conscious loyalists, and blue collar union workers. They like him because he promises them something for nothing, all in the interest of “fairness” of course.
I mentioned this on an earlier thread when I come across a driver with an 0bama sticker. I try to get next to them at a light and get their attention. Then I roll down my window and say “Hey! Thought you might like to know, but some prankster has slapped an 0bama sticker on your car!” Then I smile and roll up my window. Makes my day every time!
Yep.
In my travels I see the same thing - except the age range veers towards the 50-ish. Female. Fugly. With a dour expression and typically an anti-social attitude.
It makes sense that they would be supportive of the only sort of environment that would continue to carry dead-weight like them.
Somebody wrote it here the other day: I vew every Obama ‘12 bumper sticker as a threat.
(New tagline debut)
I don’t see any where near as many Obama stickers as I used to in Los Angeles.
Might as well get a tattoo on your forehead that says: ‘I am an idiot’
Neal Boortz was talking about a bumper sticker on Friday.
It had a picture of Obama with the caption: “Do you think this ASS makes my car look bigger?”
My GF is a gubment employee. Yea, she got a COL increase last year, then Zero froze her pay. She’s bitching about that. BTW: She did NOT vote for the Great Pretender! And before you get all bitchy about her working for the government; she’s a nurse at the VA. Defense is a Constitutionally mandated expense, and taking care of our Vets, while not so mandated, is the least we can do for them. And I’ve told her as much. We owe them.
That being said, defense will take a bigger hit in cuts, despite it’s relatively low % of GDP, than the real domestic vote getters that Congress likes to pass around like candy.
I guess I’m just trying to remind us, that there are folks in government that are like minded, and do right and honorable service. Perhaps they’re not the majority, but they are out there.
That, and I’m just stickin up for my girl. Gotta keep the peace on the home front dontchaknow.
I believe you are correct. NOT ONLY is the the difference economic, but it is cultural, philosophical, and even attitudinal.
You are correct that this person is not only untouched by cutbacks, she, and her Gov’t cohorts, have probably been trained for 30 years to think the way she has.
That makes the problem even more difficult to solve. There is a whole generation of people, numbering in the millions, who will be forever in their hearts part of the Gov’t Leftist apparatchik class.
Or a union member (pick a union, any union...).
It has always been true that government is the enemy and always will be. The Founders knew it and tried to erect constitutional barriers to the governments (state and federal) but Wilson and, to a much greater degree FDR used a perversion of the commerce clause and the general welfare provision to enable the Feds to do anything. These people suck.
A friend has obama stickers all over her car. It broke down last month and she asked me what I thought could be wrong with it. I told her it probably ran out of hope and change.
