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.

My truck proudly displays both an NRA sticker and a Remington Arms sticker. I think that qualifies me for police harrassment as a potential militia member/domestic terrorist.

I have two female office workers where I work, both of whom are liberals. During the election whenever Palin’s name came up, it was nothing but ‘airhead’ this, ‘unqualified’ that.

One day, she came into my office and said, “I can’t believe Sarah Palin’s running for vice-president! She doesn’t have any experience!” to which I replied, “I see - so, in your mind, Sarah Palin, who worked her way up to a United States governorship and presides over the day to day business of an entire state, is unqualified to be vice-president, while a Chicago community organizer who’s only governmental experience consists of a few years as an Illinois state senator, is qualified to be President of the United States. Can you explain the logic in that to me?”

Dead silence. Discussion was over. Thanks for playing.

How about a sticker that says, “HOPELESS” with the ‘08 Campaign ‘O’ to replace the one in the aforementioned word. I would print it on retro-reflective vinyl tape so it can be seen from afar. Very afar.

“Have hope, there are still conservative LE and military people out there!”

I’m not sure about the police being conservative, and as for the military, will they risk court martial?

“Did you want extra spit with that latte, sir?” Best to stay out of Starbucks and not support 0bama’s buddies. Make your coffee at home and save some bucks.

We don't have to obey an unlawful order as in arresting or firing on civilians.

Isn’t it amazing how “tolerant” the fascists on the left are?

Even most of them will admit that your vehicle is more likely to be vandalized for a conservative sticker than for a liberal one.

It’s not Sarah they hate, it’s Christ. And they “smell” Him on her. 2 Cor 2:15-16.

I have another one for you - whenever you hear “angry white male”, ask about the more “reliable” demographic of “bitter single female” that consistently votes for government to be a replacement husband.

From a similar thread. Repeating a post by waterboard.

The eight-page MIAC report listed warning signs indicating someone might be a domestic terrorist or a member of a militia. The signs include: subversive literature, certain political bumper stickers and the Gadsden flag of the Revolutionary War with its “Don’t tread on me” motto.

These 'Missouri law enforcement officials' are either morons or ignorant of American history to come to such a conclusion. SHAME!

"The Navy’s First Jack with its “Don’t Tread on Me” motto flies on the Battleship Missouri Memorial in Pearl Harbor, July 8, 2005. On Sept. 11, 2002, the secretary of the Navy directed all U.S. Navy ships to fly the First Jack in place of the Union Jack for the duration of the war on terrorism. Defense Dept. photo by U.S. Navy Cmdr. Jane Campbell"

“We don’t have to obey an unlawful order as in arresting or firing on civilians. “

I’m aware of that, but don’t you have to face some sort of investigation to verify your claim that it was an unlawful order?

Okay this is insane!!!! This is so crazy to even read this article but l know it to be true. But now the problem is how do you stop the losers in office from actually implementing this tyrany? If the State Governors are envolved then it must have something to do with the meetings they have with the president. And it must have something to do with the payoffs the states are getting for programs.
So how do we as citizens combat this?
Mr.Social Viability has a point.. Stop using there money. But soon you wont have any to use anyway because they will have stolen it all and taxed you into slavery. You will be given a card or chip to buy and sell with. If you have a farm they intend to confiscate it for taxes or violations of permits etc etc etc.
I think the answere is remove the cancer befor it spreads.. you can tell your representitives how you feel but it sounds like they are making lists of those who protest and have no intention of reversing this heinous fascist final solution.
I say move against them with all the might of the people and throw them out of all offices, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Extradite Chainey and the Nazi Bush’s from whatever rock they crawl under. Seize all oil interests and all company assetts related. That alone should bring back the economy. Put every Federal and State official on trial that took part in this tyrany. Put all Lobbyists on trial for conspiracy and Bribary charges and Prosecute them to the fullest.
Resurrect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Make it a crime punishable by death to alter this document.
This is the only way we will keep from being placed in camps and executed.
The people must wake up. The government is well armed and has taken over using the military. We must not sit back and think it will be fixed by a bill or by parley.
They will give you no quarter soon.
WAKE UP AMERICANS AND UNITE”
