[history]
I was stopped at a traffic light the other day when I suddenly realized the person in the car in front of me was attempting to communicate with me.
It was starting to get dark, so it was difficult to make out what he was trying to say at first. I turned on my lights so I could see his message clearly.

He forget my favorites:
the bumper stickers that proclaim their support for the American labor movement but are always on foreign cars.
And of course, this one (courtesy of "the"):

"It will be a great day when schools get all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber,"
This one always gets to me. What a sophisticated understanding of Federalism and the role of government! So, you believe that local schools should be run by the federal government, and that national defense is properly a local issie? Great for you! I guess I shouldn't expect to see a "My Kid is an Honor Student" sticker on the same car ...
How about those "At _____ school, we honor ALL of our students" stickers. Those do make me want to write the conclusion underneath: "Even the stupid ones."
To: Behind Liberal Lines
My favorites include "Nuke The Gay Whales", and "My Son got your Honor Student pregnant".
To: Behind Liberal Lines
...and I seem to recall that some gays would refer to straights as Breeders. I wonder if the bumper sticker anecdote at the top of this thread included a dig at what are also called "Hets".
To: Behind Liberal Lines
"convince my wife to run up to his window in simulated outrage, screaming"
Obviously spent too much time in states without CCW law....

"Health Care is a product, not a right." Unfortunately, I don't think the Ithaca liberal would understand the distinction.

...and I seem to recall that some gays would refer to straights as Breeders. I wondered the same thing. Once on a business call, I was making small talk and asked about the guy’s family, he gave me the "I don't breed" spiel. Later I was informed he was a very out of the closet gay.

Oh yes you will. The socialist government teacher comrades hand out the “Honor Student” stickers.

Ithaca Is the City of Evil bumper sticker!
Mega Bump

The author didn't quite get his parody bumper sticker correct. More properly, it is:
Nuke the Gay Whales for Jesus
To: Behind Liberal Lines; all
Can anyone find this old image that appeared on bumper stickers and t-shirts: It looks like a "peace sign" from a distance, but up close you can see that the left and right "legs" within the circle are supposed to be back-swept wings, with two jet engine-like protrusions on each "wing" (suggestive of the B-52). Beneath the image are the words: "Drop It".
Been looking at gun shows and such with no luck. Anyone seen it recently?
My favorite bumper sticker these days is "Nuke the Hamptons" (and you really MUST visit NukeTheHamptons.com - Lob some megatonnage at Martha Stewart today - it's a Good Thing! ;-)
To: Behind Liberal Lines
My favorite:
I got a gun for my wife. What a great trade!

You've missed the one bumper sticker I've seen designed to piss almost ANYONE off:
"Nuke the unborn baby gay whales for Christ".
And the guy who was selling them, told me he sold 5 or so of them per week. . .

Here's a suggestion: "Display Your Ignorance - Use Bumper Stickers"
To: scooter2
I saw this one:
"I'm PRO-Choice; I choose to hunt, fish, wear fur and eat meat."
On the back of our neighbors car:
"When women vote; Democrats win." They are flaming liberals.
To: Salgak
in high school i had an Einstein quote about furthering nuclear power for the bennefits of mankind and a "go nuclear, go navy" sticker on my car. i had alot of people thinking i was contradicting myself, but i assured them that i wasnt.
To: Sideshow Bob
Still missing one word:
"Nuke the Gay Baby Whales for Jesus"
To: Behind Liberal Lines
My favorite bumper sticker:
"My other lethal weapon is a Glock"

My favorite bumper sticker these days is "Nuke the Hamptons" OH MAN! What I wouldn't give to drive around New York with THAT one. Almost as fun as riding the subway with my NRA cap.

My bumper sticker reads:
AIDS AND HOMOSEXUALS
EVOLUTION IN ACTION
Needless to say, that got quite a bit of attention at my mandatory "AIDS in the Workplace" briefing when I joined the civil service.

My personal favorite Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.

On the back of a young lady's SUV "Let go of my ears, I know what I'm doing."
To: Behind Liberal Lines
I know I'm going to get my proverbial butt kicked by the southern boys out there, but I think we could lose the stickers showing little boys urinating on Ford/Chevy symbols.
Now if they were urinating on our perverted, impeached former president or his "wife" I'd say keep 'em.

I'm getting tired of 'em, too (and I'm as far south as I can go without heading to Texas or Florida). However, I really like the one with "Calvin" taking a leak on "Sarah Brady". I reckon we'll have to keep that one around for a while - at least until she croaks. :-)

OH MAN! What I wouldn't give to drive around New York with THAT one. Almost as fun as riding the subway with my NRA cap. Freepmail me with your address and I'll send you one. I have a spare - last year I e-mailed the owner of the "Nuke the Hamptons" website and left a terse message from "Lizzie Grubman and her Mercedez M-Class". He enjoyed my comments immensely and threw a few free stickers my way.
To: Charles Martel
Great site!
To: Denver Ditdat
Shouldn't that be:
Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun. SO FAR...

To: Behind Liberal Lines
one of my favorites:
I LOVE ANIMALS
THEY ARE DELICIOUS
To: Behind Liberal Lines
Good find, BLL.
But bumper stickers are never more ridiculous than when drivers use them in an attempt to express their "philosophy."
However, I thought this one may have expressed this fellow's current philosophy:
I THINK I'M IN COLLEGE!
Two more favorites:
A**HOLE! (without the asterisks) and,
DON'T HASSLE ME
. . I'M A LOCAL
To: Behind Liberal Lines
An oldie, but goodie:
Visualize the Clintons in Jail!

My all time favorite --- "If you smoke after sex, you did it too fast"
To: Behind Liberal Lines
Love your graphic. Have you ever seen this: a Greenpeace/Sierra Club bumper sticker on the back of an SUV? Those are hysterical. Talk about cognitive dissonance.

Reminds me of the reply during a survey, I believe it was Master & Johnson, when a woman was asked if she smoked after sex. She said, "I don't know, I never looked."
