Better Take that Conservative Bumper Sticker Off Your Car!
The American Spectator ^ | March 22, 2009 | Doug Bandow

Posted on 03/23/2009 3:14:02 AM PDT by Scanian

My friend Ken Marrero, aka the Blue Collar Muse, reports on conservative/libertarian profiling. Have an inappropriate bumper sticker on your car and the cops are warned that you might be a threat.

Writes Ken:

Missouri State Police have been alerted to be on the lookout for subversive drivers who may be domestic terrorists or members of militia groups. How can Missouri Law Enforcement know the car in front of them might be carrying dangerous people? Why from their bumper stickers of course!

Among the bumper stickers listed as indicative of dangerous, anti-Americans behind the wheel are those supporting Ron Paul or other 3rd party candidates, the Gadsden flag, opposition to the North American Union, opposition to the President's Mandatory Service agenda, the right to Keep and Bear arms and belief that the States are sovereign. All these and more are "identifiers" common to militia movements across the nation and should alert law enforcement to be cautious when dealing with occupants in cars displaying them.

In fact, they are told such people often consider police the enemy. To be fair, the report doesn't claim that all people who hold such views are automatically terrorists bent on shooting cops at traffic stops. However, if you have such stickers on your vehicle in Missouri, tensions just went WAY up.

Sounds like a great case for the ACLU to take on. You know, individual freedom, civil liberties, and all that stuff.

Yeah, I read this story a couple of days ago. It prompted me to place Gasden flag on all my business vehicles and on the window of my business.

During the campaign, wasn’t it the Missouri AG who was basically was saying any one who disagreed with bambi could find themselve in trouble with the law and they were going to go after people who were “spreading rumors”, etc?

I do believe they call this profiling. Sounds like something we need to apply to everyone, then. Lets start with certain people in airports.

Not yet but but soon will be in my back window. I made up a larger version to make sure it’s easy to see and read.

My bumper sticker:

If you don’t like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk.”

Could that be a problem?

Here's a good story about the offending report:

Go ahead and grab the larger version if you want to print it up. It’s a freebie for FReepers.

Technically then our forefathers of the nation were terrorists.

Thanks. I live next door to a liberal family. Their daughter put an Obama sign in her bedroom window. It can ONLY be seen from my yard. I have a radio that I can carry around the yard and listen to Beck, Limbaugh, et al when I am doing yard work. I guess they think they are getting back at me somehow.

I have pickup truck and am trying to figure out a good sign to put on the tailgate. I park it so it faces their house so I want to send a little message back.

I also intend to play conservative talk radio quite a bit louder this Spring and Summer.

...”subversive drivers”...?

I drive a four wheel drive pickup, with a gun rack, a Dale Earnhardt No. 3 decal in the window, and a bumper sticker that reads...”I hope someone with an Obama bumper sticker pulls out in front of me today.”

Would I get pulled over in Missouri?

Sure. The police are going to pull you for a Palin sticker.

I can pretty much bet that the perp that shot 4 police officers in Oakland, after being pulled over, was not a Ron Paul supporter.

I changed the year on my bumper sticker, and left it on. Car’s already been keyed.
“WE’RE SCREWED 2008” Now 2009.

A week before the election, I ordered “Impeach Obama” and “Palin 2012” stickers online. If I p!ss off one Liberal it’s worth it.

You should see the looks I get when I go to Starbucks. Commie Rage makes my coffee taste better.
