That almost looks like my SUV, i have a 95 blazer.
Around here, I worry someone would take a baseball bat to the backend.
Wow, that is a NICE decal!
Up until the other morning, the reaction to them has been positive (at least from those that were brave enough to express a reaction to them--lots of thumbs up by passers by and comments in parking lots--though I've noticed a few mortified looks that might have been caused by my signs).
A few days ago after I parked my car and started walking to the shop where I work, I came up to a guy standing on the sidewalk next to his mini-van and parked in the spot I normally take (the back was plastered with Kerry/Edwards and USMC stickers).
As I approached him he said, "nice sign on your car." I thought he was being complimentary and smiled, and started to say hi when he "lit off". He pointed to his bumper stickers and said "I support Kerry! Am I f**king terrorist!?!"
I said I didn't call him that, but he continued yelling at me, telling me that he served 8 years in the Marines and he is no f'n terrorist (I served 11 years in the Army, my brother 12 in the Marines, my father 8 in the Navy, and my daughter is currently in Iraq with the Army).
I remained calm as this guy yelled at me and stuck his finger in my face, hoping to get a chance to explain what I meant. But, everytime I opened my mouth to speak he got louder and madder (kinda like Chris Mathews), so I stepped aside and walked past him while he continued to hurl insults at my back. Over my shoulder as I walked away I said "that's a brilliant argument!" He hurled (screamed) a final FU! and got in his van and drove off.
And thus concluded another successful dialogue with a hardcore democrat...
