The Bumper Sticker Proof
Patrick Rooney
Have you ever noticed as you drive the roads and highways how many Kerry for President bumper stickers there are in comparison to Bush for President stickers?
I have. And we all know why that is.
Lets face it, everyoneliberal and conservative alikeunderstands the reason why. Its the same reason that conservative newspapers on college campuses are much more likely to be stolen than are liberal papers.
Its the same reason conservative yard signs are more likely to be uprooted from the ground than are liberal signs. A young girl can have a conservative placard ripped out of her hands and torn to shreds, where I doubt if wed see the same happen to a young girl carrying a liberal sign.
Its also the same reason conservatives are more likely to be vilified, castigated, ridiculed, and even have their lives threatened much more often than are liberals.
The reason we see all these Kerry for President stickers in far greater numbers is obviousliberals know, that for all their conservatives want to poison the water and kill grandma rhetoric, they actually feel quite safe around conservatives.
On the other hand, conservatives complain how dangerous many liberals are, and theyre right. Conservatives know that when they make the decision to slap that bumper sticker on their car, theres a reasonable chance they may be the victim of some good old-fashioned vandalism or worse.
And what about actually speaking out? Conservatives have long been aware of the physical danger often associated with speaking out to peace and love liberals.
You see, its not that we never speak about this elephantor donkey as the case may bein the middle of the room. Its just that we accept his behavior as normal. And the perpetrator accepts the behavior as normal too.
But heres the kickermany liberals then go out and call conservatives mean spirited, Hitler, and racist, knowing its all a lie. But amazingly in some peoples minds the lie sticks!
Communists are known for a means justifies the ends mentality. In other words, their ends are so glorious that the meanswhich we know includes torture and mass murderare considered acceptable and often necessary.
We are seeing that Islamic terrorists think the same way.
Unfortunately, too many liberals have adopted a means justifies the ends mentality too. While the vast majority dont go to the limits of Communists and Islamo-Fascists, it is clear that going beyond the constraints of conscience is often considered no problem in their quest for the ends they seek.
The religion of these liberals is hatred. Their glorious vision is really not some kind of utopia; instead their highest happiness is to see the downfall of those who remind them of their own lack of character.
The current president is a man of character. His very presence reminds his enemies of their moral ugliness and weakness. He has become the focal point of their fury, and as we know, fury unleashed knows no bounds.
There is a misnomer bandied about, often by well meaning conservatives, that liberals are good people; that in the words of singer Dave Mason, There aint no good guys, there aint no bad guys, theres only you and me and we just disagree.
Nice try, Dave. The real truth is that while there are decent, well-meaning liberals, the average liberal is not a good person. Liberals are typically angry people underneath their peace and love and anything goes exterior. Anything goes except truth should be their motto.
Dont get me wrongnot all conservatives are angelsfar from it. But theres nowhere near the level of hate in the conservative movement as there is in the world of liberalism.
Conservatives must resist the temptation to allow the threats of liberalsovert or impliedto intimidate them into silence of word or deed. We all must stand, using wisdom and courage as our guide.
And the bumper sticker proof should be used to quickly end future liberal attempts to portray conservatives as neo-Hitlers. The American people are beginning to figure out just who the real haters are. And that gives me hope for our future.

You may end up with a broken window in addition to getting keyed. Good luck.
I just got 8.5 x 12 magnetic "ink jet" sheets at Staples - haven't yet tried to see how well they work. Cost about $11/ 4 sheets.

Happy to report from north Georgia---hardly any sKerry bumper stickers here!
Wonder if they would vandalize a car with a Bush sticker and the license tag of "GUNBOAT".
Hi abigail! I had a "Dump Davis" sticker on my car a while back, and it must have pi**ed someone off, because it got torn off and there was a scratch in its place... Gray Davis must have done it.... :^)
Like "Rev" Jesse Jackson and his buddies attack on Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson!!
Thanks Chad..
i moved out of boston after seeing many mondale/ferraro bumper stickers with mondale scratched out.
I love it!
Totally true, but when you're talking about a three year old, I think it's OK to say toddler instead of young girl.
This has been the mantra of Hillary Clinton for the last 14 years.
Two weeks ago I drove from NY to Detroit and I only saw 3 Kerry / Democrat stickers the whole way there and back. There were so many conservative stickers, support our troops, etc that I stopped counting after many dozen. I'd say at least 100.
Coincidence? who knows......
