I, however, am sick of 'Red Wings' bumper stickers ~the mere thought of and therefore~ 0 are too many.

Thinking longer doesn't mean thinking better.

I hope that you're not telling me that conservatives are, well, just "slow."

For some interpretation of "ALL" and "correct," sure.

In place of "correct" - I was going to type in "right" - but that seemed too obvious...and I wouldn't want to be that humorous...

BTW, here are two free ones, from me...

Just remember, if you're going to print 'em up, just put "mgb757" in the lower right-hand corner...that'll be your license to use 'em...for free, from me!

#1.)
"A working person, voting for a Democrat, is like a piglet sucking hind-tit on a sow."

(This is a play on the "...working person, voting for a Republican...chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.." anology that doesn't work on so many levels...chickens can't vote, Col. Sanders is dead...etc...)


#2.)
"If you ain't "Rush'n" - You ain't 'Merican!"

(A play on Rush Limbaugh's name that would refer to the fact that you were a Ditto-head and listened to his show and the anti-American "merican" bruhaha a few years back...)

Now that I've poked the hornests' nest with the stick...let's have fun kids!!!!

I remember some of that stuff from back then. There was a flier they distributed somewhere around the Kennedy-Nixon election year (in which the "true-believers" recommended not voting for either because both would sell-out whitey) in which it depicted a beautiful little white girl walking hand-in-hand to school with a horrible caricature of a black boy. The caption read something to the effect of this is what would happen when schools integrated. Aside from the racial caricature, they were right!

What makes it particularly ironic is that the more "liberal" whites, who supported integration, were all about reassuring that racial mixing in school would not result in interracial social relations. They really believed that parental supervision could overcome basic biology -- WRONG! Since time immemorial all cultures have realized that the only way to ensure tribal purity is annihilation of the subordinate tribe. The most recent example is Rwanda, I guess. Perhaps Darfur. That's also why God told Joshua (or Moses? I forgot) to kill all of the various tribes of non-Hebrew people living in the Promised Land. The need to maintain purity transcends mercy.

This also what makes The American experiment in equality such a novel approach to philosophy of government. We don't share some tribal adherence to tribal purity, we share a common philosophy of government which we believe all races, tribes and cultures hold in common. That is the meaning of these sentences,

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The interesting point about this as I see it is an implicit acceptance of violence as a means of governmental change. Essentially legitimizing civil war for if government is of the opinion that their will trumps that of the people, and the people disagree there is no other way to effect that change. Hence he two civil wars that already occurred in US history. I have often wondered if and when a third will occur, or are the US populace too pussywhipped to ever attempt governmental change in the future?

Two civil wars? Your history is a bit off we have only had one.

A little civil war now and again isn't a bad thing, it keeps the government in check.

The American revolution was not a war against a foreign power, it was a revolt by the people against their own government. Thus it was the first American Civil war. The war of Northern Agression was merely the second.

The left work and often make more than conservatives.

http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2005/05/median_income_d.html

In my state property taxes fund schools. The big city is more liberal,
income is higher, house values are higher so property taxes take in more money.
The school money is distributed evenly by the state per student so money
flows from the city to the country.

It is the underclass consevatives that I find hard to understand. They worry about
God, same sex marriage, guns... Their real problem is raising a family on $50K/yr
How can they save for retirement and college, will they have health coverage,
jobs?

Never had political stickers and have taken the few surf stickers I had off. Seemed kind of
silly.
