HARTFORD -- Firefighter Mike Di’Giacomo said his SUV is banned from in the firehouse because the bumper stickers he has on it, displays his political views.

"Hope and Change" seemed to be pretty popular in 2008. What do you think bumper stickers will be saying (or should be saying) for the republicans and democrats in 2012?

SNIPPET: "That's right. The ubiquitous blue stickers with the round, red-white-and blue symbol are coming off the bumpers. Even in northern Virginia, which has large pockets of yellow dog Democrats, the stickers are disappearing." SNIPPET: "As Obama sinks in the polls, the absence of triumphal stickers is becoming glaringly obvious." SNIPPET: "America is taking Mr. Obama's measure and reassessing rapidly. From initiating a gusher of spending, appointing a gaggle of radicals, glad-handing America's enemies and targeting our own security personnel, the president has alienated one constituency after another. Pretty soon all he will have left will be the pansexual, Star...

Dan Fuchs said business was just starting to pick up at his kiosk in the Mall at Johnson City. Fuchs’ business, the Graphic Edge, printed slogans and pictures on items such as coffee cups, bumper stickers and T-shirts. He said more than half of his business came from the sale of anti-Obama merchandise. Bumper stickers with slogans such as “SOS: Stop Obama’s Socialism,” “Nobama,” and “Chicago got the party, but the country got the hangover” were displayed around the small stand. Now it appears Fuchs is out of business at the mall, but mall officials say this decision was not...

A man who sells conservative merchandise at a kiosk in a North Carolina mall says he hopes he'll be able to keep pushing "Impeach Obama" bumper stickers after his lease expires on Friday. Loren Spivack says his kiosk, Free Market Warrior, is being nudged out of the Concord Mills mall in Concord, N.C., beacause of political reasons. The hottest sellers at the kiosk, which has been in the mall for roughly three months, are items that are critical of President Obama, Spivack said. They include a “Work Harder, Obama Needs the Money” bumper sticker and a T-shirt that lists the...

Sunday, about 100 people rallied in front of the mall to support Spivack and his right to free speech. He opened his Free Market Warrior kiosk last spring, selling such items as “Impeach Obama” bumper stickers and baby bibs that say, “My parents chose life. Thanks Mom and Dad!” Spivack said he's found other stores in the mall selling T shirts and other merchandise with offensive slogans and feels he's being targeted “purely for politic reasons.” Since the controversy arose, he said his business has picked up.......

Sentiment toward Obama is shifting fast if bumper stickers have anything to do with it: "How's that hopey, changey thing working out for you?" "Bankrupt America? Yes, we can!" The bumper stickers people are customizing and buying are an interesting barometer and that doesn't bode well for Obama: "Barack Obama: A new chapter in American history, Chapter 13." "The Audacity of hype." Before the election Obama's bumper stickers were mostly positive. Six months into his presidency, mostly negative. It's true that Bush initiated the bailout. But Obama used it to do things for which it wasn't intended - such as...

As I was driving to work this morning, I passed someone with an Obama/Biden bumper sticker. Yes, they may have been proud and confident back before the elections, but can you imagine the shame that they feel now. If I were them, I would quickly remove that bumper sticker. He is not my President and I don't feel one bit of pride with him as our President and Commander in Chief.

The other day I was driving behind a car with a “Friend of Tibet” Virginia license plate. That’s great and I’d like to be a “Friend” myself, but with the job and the family and cutting the lawn … Can I just become a “Facebook Friend of Tibet?” If so, am I entitled to the same preening as Tibet’s actual Friends? It got me wondering whether we’d see “Free Iran” paraphernalia anytime soon, and whether we’d see it on the same Volvos and Priuses as those “Free Tibet” bumper stickers. Somehow I doubt it, since Obama could barely fit any...

A Louisiana driver has been stopped and detained for having a "Don't Tread on Me" bumper sticker on his vehicle and warned by a police officer about the "subversive" message it sent, according to the driver's relative. The situation developed in the small town of Ball, La., where a receptionist at the police department told WND she knew nothing about the traffic stop, during which the "suspect" was investigated for "extremist" activities, the relative said.

DALLAS - Frank Larison is a disabled veteran with more than 14 years of service, including more than a year of combat duty in Vietnam. The 58-year-old former Marine now finds himself under attack by his Dallas homeowners association for displaying seven decals on his vehicle supporting the Marine Corps. "To me, it's being patriotic, and it shows that I served," the veteran told FOX 4. The board says the decals are advertisements that violate HOA rules, and must be covered or removed. Otherwise, the homeowners association for The Woodlands II on The Creek --- where Larimore has lived for...

For decades, drivers have used their bumpers as moving billboards. Bumper stickers show our political leanings, our religious affiliations, where we've vacationed and what type of dogs we have. They offer a glimpse into a driver's sense of humor (Just say no to negativity) or sense of injustice (I had a life, but my job ate it). Historians believe that Forest P. Gill, a Kansas City-area printer, invented the bumper sticker in the 1930s. Gill began experimenting with attaching advertisements to car bumpers with wire, and eventually began working with self-sticking adhesive. The idea took hold, the stickers stuck, and...

You would have known better if you listened to conservative news radio. Jiminy Cricket does a "Doh!" for Obama. Socialism is Slavery, Mr. President. Home mortgage crisis was an inside job - Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac.

Police in Missouri apparently are being instructed to keep on eye on conservatives. According to this AP article the government of the state of Missouri has issued a report "informing" state police that people with third party bumper stickers on their cars or who believe the NAFTA superhighway is an attempt create a North American Union are subversive members of paramilitary militias and potential terrorists.

After detailed maps of local military operations and anti-government slogans were found in a south Minneapolis apartment, federal authorities are now involved in the investigation. The three tenants were evicted from the property this weekend, but what they left behind has caught the interest of the FBI and Homeland Security. A cleaning crew made the discovery shortly before 12 p.m. on Tuesday. One of the workers told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS they noticed maps on the walls with government chains and commands. Inside a closet, they found numerous rolls of maps. Authorities said the details are disturbing. "We ran into a...

I saw this bumper sticker a day or so ago and would like to order a few. Anyone remember where it was or how to order it? Thanks Freepers!
