Infuriating bumper sticker

While at college today, I happened to see a bumper sticker on a faculty member's car. It read "THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH REPUBLICANS!".

I was really mad when I read that bumper sticker. I thought, isn't this typical of liberals! If a conservative says anything like that, we are labeled haters, bigots, Jesus-freaks, self-righteous, etc.

"THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH REPUBLICANS!"

Did you see the car parked in a Burger King with a man in the drivers seat with one hand on the wheel?

You just have to laugh at it. I see those in my town, Davis,CA, on a frequent basis. I laugh, flip'em the bird and just shake my head at the loser cars they drive. Mostly road hazards.

I see that every day here in Seattle.

My own personal favorite insulting bumper sticker is, "Friends don't let friends vote Republican." I saw that one last week.

As if none of their feel-good goobledegook hasn't paved the road with a bunch of able-bodied sychophants on the government dole.

Cheer up, that's what passes for left-wing humor. Now, try this one out for size. I saw a bumper sticker with the GOP logo, the Dem logo and Hillary's face. Underneath the three was THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY...

Always liked the one which said something like " This juvenile delinquent is having sex with your honor student". Yeah that bumper sticker is annoying.

Living in Texas, it was only proper for me to proudly display the bumper sticker I wish I lived in New York,so I could vote against Hillary Use to get a lot of thumbs up when people would see it.

Perhaps you could overlay his bumper sticker with one of your own choosing.

Oh, don't be so thin skinned. Who do you think ran down the Republicans in their haste to drive down the broad way which leads to destruction?

[tndarlin]

Jest lining the road to make the transition easier for the Democrats. You know how sensative they are!

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

That one is particularly irritating, isn't it. I got riled the other day by "Bush: Commander in Thief"

[Paul Atreides]

I want to do one titled THE ROAD TO OPPRESSIVE SOCIALISM IS PAVED BY DEMOCRATS.

[tet68]

Actually what I think that means is
in order to get to hell the Democrats
would pave the road there with every republican
they could kill.

[Sam Cree]

You are right that the bumper sticker would be labeled "hate speech" or something if it said Democrats or liberals.

IMO, it proves that the "hate crime" laws will probably be used selectively and unpredictably.

[eureka!]

I got a little miffed at the "Bush Knew" with a website on it. Idiots, but entitled to it.....

Yeah, there's nothing like vandalism and defacing private property to champion the conservative cause.

We don't need to become like them....let their stupidity speak for itself.

[Burkeman1]

I wouldn't be that mad. To anyone but a hard core Democrat such a bumper sticker looks viscious and sick. Such a mean spirited nasty slogan turns off more people to Democrats than it attracts.

[Paul Atreides]

I'm not thin-skinned. I have read a lot of other anti-Republican bumper stickers. I just get mad over the self-righteous ones. You know, like when conservatives get mad over Bill and Hillary copping a pious attitude.

[Conservababe]

LOl, I am a law abiding citizen. But, in this case, I would do it in a minute.
