Well LCDR, my car did get keyed while I had my Obama sticker on it. I finally took it off about two weeks after the elections were over. But you're right, there was alot of hostility after the elections just as there is now. The hostility has not subsided.

Read through this thread again. Is there really any reason to expect that to change anytime soon?

I think not.

That is why the party is getting smaller and smaller. A good share have figuered out that the "my way or the highway" attitude will not going to cut it anymore and have moved on.

Yeah. Maybe we should use those good democrats in congress that are the epitome of good will and compromise as examples.....

Nothing to do with political affiliation.

Just disrespectful scumbags that were not beat enough as children.

My team lost and your team won. What does that have to do with your right to display your beliefs on your personal property?

I guess it is all about how you were raised. My dad would have put me in the hospital if he would have ever caught me defacing/damaging/altering another person's property. That would have been followed by a good beating from my mom. And they'd have driven the victim to the hospital to beat me a third time while they held me down.

But dad was a retired Marine and mom retired Navy, so I would have never expected any quarter, anyway.

Like I said, this isn't a political thing. It is a respect thing and a doing the right thing thing.

I agree.

Kinda funny story about "respecting people's opinions". We have a public parking lot where I work and I've been working here for 3 years. Last summer, we had a company that shares the building with us have a huge training thing for some new employees so we had a bunch of unknowns running around. On the back of my car, I had 5 stickers. "Home of the Free because of the Brave" "US Army" "USMC" and "Keep My Soldier Safe" and a US Flag. One nice day I noticed that I was getting a funny look from one of the guys that had come in with the other company (keep in mind I'm 6 months pregnant at this time as well). He looked at my car, then looked at me and then we both went our ways. Well, I get out of work, go to my car and my stickers have been ripped off and torn into pieces. In the dust on the back of my car was written "MURDERER". Couldn't find any finger prints or anything for police, but I dang sure had someone walk me to my car for about a month after that... People just have no respect for others any more. It's ridiculous and childish and ALL sides should stop it.

I know what you mean, I tend to avoid anyone with Political Bumper stickers on their car, as much as I avoid a car with massive dents in either the side, back or quarter panels. It's a wreck about to happen.

Todays politics remind me of an old saying. - "Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?" - Joseph Stalin

Do you see our economy improving? Have you noticed the improving employment figures?

Are you impressed by the burgeoning national debt that your children are going to have to pay back?

Are you looking forward to seeing your health care rationed?

How about the nationalization of General Motors, Citigroup and others? That's why you put that bumper sticker on your car, isn't it? So Obama could use some of his immense business experience to run some of our major industries. You do know he will nationalize the banks soon, don't you? Is that the change you had in mind?

Don't you see how smart this "sort-of" God really is? He's raising taxes while other nations are lowering business and personal taxes to fight the economic downturn. You knew that he knew something that the other world leaders didn't know ... didn't you?

How about our shows of determination and strength to North Korea and Iran? Obama really has the Gargoyle and Shorty in a tizzy, doesn't he? And I'm sure you're very impressed by Obama's instantaneous backing of that wannabe dictator and Chavez acolyte from Honduras.

So ... still got that Obama bumper sticker on your car? It's one thing to have been so profoundly ignorant in the last election. It's quite another to advertise it.

More completely false BS propoganda. And I didn't even vote for Obama.

My daughter's car got keyed and it had no bumper stickers or nything else on it.

What does keying prove?

Someone kicked the side of my pick-up and the only sticker on it is 'USAF Retired' in back window.

Vadalism happens regardless of what is, or is not, disp[layed.

But blame a conservative if it makes you guys feel better. But then again, there was a lot of hostility from liberals in 2000/2001.....

When the key streak goes right through the sticker onto the body, the sticker was the intended target.

No one starts a war--or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so--without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it.

Sorry, the description of the great divider just fit on Obama so well...

Yeah--he's cleaved the Republican Party/Conservative Movement in twain...and they don't look good in twain.

Now go a-way or I shall taunt you a second time!

Why are we giving clout to anything Neal Boortz has to say?

Is it just me or do liberals seem to corner the market on qualified pundits who have worthwhile opinions instead of just some hack off the street?

You look at op-eds or guests on talk shows, liberals will have ex military officers, diplomats, nobel prize winners voice their opinions....

Meanwhile the conservatives trot out the likes of Neal Boortz, Glenn Beck, William Kristol, or Sarah Palin to yip yap or cluck away.

When it comes to the economy, do we want to talk to Neal Boortz or Paul Krugman?

Cripes, of course there are random acts of violence that seem to occur for no specific reason. We all know that.

There are also boneheads out there that respond to a trigger....such as an Obama sticker or sign or perhaps an Abortion Clinic or the color of ones skin.

Although we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, place bumper stickers on your car at your own risk. We already know from the Department of Homeland Security and other think tanks that Obama has brought out the worst in many of your fellow Americans.

I've noticed the same thing. The majority of the Conservatives that try to defend their position are pretty lame. They certainly aren’t convincing the educated people. What's more interesting is the military experience the right wing blowhards have......none.

Thanks!

And what is an educated person? Someone who voted for Pres Obama...or Pelosi?

Excuse me?

I am uneducated?

And what the HELL is wrong with my military service? My 214 says RE-1 United States Army Infantry, lists all of my awards, and I STILL have a blue rope hanging above my desk.

So I have NO service? I am a right winger. Some would call me a blowhard.

I wonder why people like you get a free pass when you're blanketing everyone who doesn't cow to your values as somehow less than you are?

I served honorably and have done my time. I'm also a Master Electrician and have a 3.98 GPA in my Associates in Project Management and own a small design/build contracting company.

Your stereotyping is a shame on you, sir.

EDIT: Spelling and removed a few words. So much for educated, lol

It's not that there is no God or that He isn't listening. You're probably just asking the wrong questions.

I doubt you're an expert on world affairs, but who knows, maybe you just hide the fact that you're really Henry Kissenger. Be careful, at some point, you'll post something that gives your expert knowledge away.

As for your second point. That's affirmative. If you were duped by Bush...twice, then you can hardly claim to have learned much while at university.

Not you silly rabbit. The real blowhards that convince the lemmings. The Limbaughs and Hannity's and the like.

Now I must point out that my post clearly said the blowhards had no military service. Now, analysis of that statement would indicate that it couldn't apply to you since you have military service.

How did you miss that point? Was it a case of you wanting something to be that wasn't? Hmmmmm? I'm going with you just misread the satement and leave it at that.

Perhaps I did misread. And if I did, then I offer my apologies.

However, I don't think I misread at all. The use of "blowhards" does not excuse the box you put everyone in that is not aligned with your core set of values and political idealism's. I am willing to bet that there are many out there -- Bill O'Reilly, for one example -- that are far more educated than either of us. And certainly far more successful, if money and popularity is a man's idea of success (mine is not).

Some of us think for ourselves and compromise on issues. Any liberal here will tell you that I do not slam their beliefs. In return, I demand the same respect.

The green tabs on my epaulets would certainly suggest that I have earned at least that, if not signify that I have.

You and I are both vets. We should be working to fix what's broken, not continue to spread the rift in political partisanship.

It's not that there is no God or that He isn't listening. You're probably just asking the wrong questions.

One thing I can say about Obama is that he is bringing this country closer together. With unemployment at a 30 year high a vast majority of us can't afford to go anywhere so we stay home.

There we go again. Every time something is posted against Barry the other side can only come back with putting the blame on somebody else. They sound like a bunch of two year olds, not to mention a broken record.

Access to Obama? You are on the wrong thread ....again.
