What would this collection of bumper stickers and magnets say to you? |
|
A Russ Feingold 04 bumpersticker
A "Support Kerry 08" bumpersticker
A yellow ribbon magnet with a peace sign and the words "Bring the troops home now"
A hand that is either giving you a peace sign or a victory sign with one purple finger.

6. The reason for each being there |
|
"Russ Feingold" because he's my Senator.
"Support Kerry 08" because I do.
The yellow ribbon with the peace sign and the "bring the troops home now" message is about as close as I'm ever going to get to a yellow ribbon that says what I want it to say. I'm hoping that it's main message is "I support the troops, but not the war". While not perfect, it's closer than just the average ribbon. Though I suppose the Kerry sticker and a normal yellow ribbon would probably convey the same basic message.
I liked the peace/victory magnet, because regardless of what the original intent was, I saw a peace sign with an Iraqi symbol of voting on it. So for me, it symbolizes the Iraqi people's hope for peace. And for their sake, I hope for it too, though I think this administration is as likely to back into success accidentally as anything else.
But still, y'all confirm my fears that it's a bit of a message wapatulli.
So, which decoration needs to go for it to be more coherent?

8. Thoughts from Wisconsin |

I was with you until the purple finger. That was way too iconic for the Republicans. I just can't stop picturing the lemmings as the State of the Union.

9. Mine is a quote from Voltaire.... |
|
"Those who can make you believe absurdities, will make you commit atrocities".
Then I have a "W" that is circled with a slash through it placed just below the quote.

12. So tempted to try and find a W sticker and add "TF" to it. |
|
As it is, there is a triangle that came out of my yellow ribbon magnet that I want to take a sharpie to. I'd like to write "Pick one" on it, and put it on a car that has both a "support the troops" magnet and a W sticker. Sorry, either support W or the troops, dude.

11. Maybe if it didn't look like a peace sign |
|
The woman who had it on her car said her husband was making them. I asked what they were supposed to mean. She kept going into a description of the Iraqis voting and then giving that victory/peace sign to cameras. I kept having to repeat "I know about that. But what is the message you're trying to convey."
Yep, definitely because it struck me as a peace sign, if it had been that one finger up deal that the Repubs were doing at the SOTU speech, it would have been a different story I think.
Confusing maybe, but as J17 said, maybe it'll make some folks think down here in Freeperville, Wisc. (Suburb of Waukesha County for you, since you're in Wisc.)
