Our daughter graduated with a BS in Biology this morning from the University of California at Santa Cruz. I did not see a single "Obama 2012" bumper sticker today -- not one!
We drove about 40 miles from home to the campus and saw many hundreds or thousands of cars on Highways 85, 17, and 1; the local Santa Cruz streets; throughout campus; in the campus parking structure; and in the parking lots on campus. We walked quite a distance on campus and didn't spot a single Obama sign on any buildings, bus shelters, housing units, dorms, or student bulletin boards. It was stunning.
Not only that, we saw only one crusty and faded Obama 2008 bumper sticker as well -- they've all been scraped off.
There's probably no hope of capturing California, but this sure is an encouraging sign. Huzzah!

The bumper stickers cost money and with the price of marijuana and cocaine going up and the state of the economy in California, these hippies can’t afford to buy bumper stickers.
They’ll vote for Obama.
Several times.
So will their Gratefully Dead friends.
I was at a conservative forum last week, in Seaside. This forum was hosted by Dr. Jack Wheeler of “To The Point News” and we even had Dana Rohrbacher with us.
I thought it funny to count 7 Obama 2012 stickers on vehicles just outside the front door of the hotel.
Obots are everywhere....
I just spent a few days in San Jose and drove into San Francisco Sunday morning. Saw very few Zero stickers — maybe they were all on cars behind mine. I hope they saw my No Socialism window sticker!
That is kind of a surprise. I was in Santa Cruz alomst a few weeks ago and I didn’t really see any Obama 2012 stickers. I have seen a few here in Colorado and about all of the folks that have them are fat ugly women or old folks.
I cautioned our son to be careful about the left wingers, and he told me not to worry... and then he tells me about the firebombing of the biology lab. (He's in medical research.)
The aged hippies are all still there in the tie dyed shirts and the flower power VWs.
The local Catholic Church was seriously damaged by vandals just a couple of months ago (probably in response to Obama’s attack on religious freedom.)
I am familiar with Atlanta as I have lived here all my life, except when I attended school at UGA.
My neighborhood is infested with Emory faculty types and CDC bureaucrats.
So, I found your comment about Emory highly amusing.
My son put a bumper sticker on his car that has the Obama insignia, but is overlapped with the following: “LOL.”
I asked him if that was wise, and he said stupid people (i.e., Rats) will not get it and smart people won’t key his car. So far, he has only gotten thumbs up, and no keying.
Ridicule is the best way to drive a narcissist (Zero) even crazier.
Link please. Thanks!
The undergraduate commencements are by the different “Colleges” at UCSC. Unlike my undergrad days at Missouri where I was in the “College of Engineering,” at UCSC a “college” means a motley collection of kids in different academic disciplines. So at today’s commencement, we had mostly wacko liberal arts kooks (film, digital media, women’s studies, etc) mixed in with very few hard sciences grads like my daughter. I think there was one other person in Biology. It was a real shame because it blends people with their heads screwed on straight with the lunatics...and the lunatics dominated 50:1. Fortunately, my daughter didn’t get polluted by the nuts.
I remember my daughter doing one paper that refuted the “science” of global warming. She got punished by her teacher on her grade, but about half the class congratulated her for her stand and secretly admitted to her that they agreed with her!
I hadn’t heard about the damage to the Catholic Church in SC...very sad.
I was in downtown today and didn’t see any, but I did see NIKE sporting a pro-perversion ad, so we walked out of the store.
Havent seen one in the Phoenix metro area
I am tempted to put on an anti Obama sticker- I hate the idea of my car getting vandalized though. Ive been tempted to put on one that says “He never said the change would be good”
I recently saw an Obama Logo sticker on - get this - the GAS CAP of a PRIUS.
I was so dumbfounded by the concatenation of erroneous presumptions and statements in that one single act, I almost ran off the road before I could get my wits together. Then, by the time I decided to ram the smug bastard, he turned off.
Beam me up.
We live in the Bay Area, and my son is starting college in the fall. He got into several of the UCs, but turned them all down.
He’s going to Texas for college to my alma mater, Texas A&M.
He wants out of California.
The thing is that out of state tuition at A&M is about the same as in state for the UCs.
I saw one here in NW Arkansas”
“School teacher from Siloam Springs of course.
Best of luck to your son. He’s going to have a great four year adventure and I’m sure there will be a robust job market waiting for him when he graduates.
Our other two went out of state, one to Oregon and one currently a senior at Colorado. Same thing here — out of state tuition there is the same as in-state in the UCs. Also, the schools in other states offer the classes you need when you need them. The class schedules at UCSC are all fouled up and our daughter actually needed a fifth year to get the classes she need to graduate with her BS degree. It is a real BS system that forces you to pay for a fifth year to meet their graduation requirements!
I see them here in the East Bay, too, typically in town like Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Alamo and Danville. I always want to see who has them and as a general observance, they are 50-60-70-something professional, or retired professional, women.
I saw some kooky lawyer in a 7-Series BMW and an old couple in Yukon last week, but for the most part, it’s the aged hippie women with curly short gray hair that sport Zer0’s stickers.
I missed your post...
Actually it was at the Washington Regional Hospital. But there are still a few fools in Siloam.
Yes, I see Obamao 2012 bumper stickers here in LA, BUT not nearly what we saw last time. Many weird, guilt-ridden, white hippies/limousine liberals.
