Have you seen the yellow magnetic ribbons with a cross on it??
Not sure if I saw it correctly, I did a double take, but the car was passing me, and I couldn't get a good enough look. I thought there was a black cross in the middle of it. Anyone else see this around??

1. Yeah, it's real.
I've seen them with a cross for the space where the ribbon loops.

2. I've spied it
It's weird, isn't it? What does it mean, exactly? Support the Christian soldiers?


Lord, save us from your followers!

3. Yes, which just shows you what they are really communicating.
(Support Dimson in his holy wars.)

4. Saw it. It says:
"Pray for our troops".

Wouldn't it be cool to print up some just like 'em with the slogan "who would jesus kill"?

Put them on a spit, more like it. The people displaying the ribbons, I mean.

10. I thought you meant
a cross - like through the no W signs or the no smoking signs. - Now that would be cool.

The other is disgusting. I did see one with "support our troops" on the yellow ribbon and "bring them home" in the middle. That, too, was cool. (they had obviously made the middle part themselves.)

11. They're also making them for sports teams now.
It's way past "run amuck".

13. Their two holier than thou stickers for one.
Its got the cute little cross in the middle of the ribbon, so you can put it on the other side or whatever. It read "God Bless the Troops" and had praying hands on it.

Steal em, spraypaint them black, beware fascist neighbors.

16. I saw one yesterday on the way back to Dallas from Crawford. I did
the same doubletake and sped along at 80+ trying to catch up so I could see it again. Missed it and the vehicle carrying the 4+ ribbons split off and went in another direction than myself.

I couldn't imagine.

17. There are also ones with an American flag
Where one of the "ribbon parts" looks like it has a cross on it.

Look here for one that reads "Support Our Troops- Bring them Home"

18. LOL "God supports fruits not religious nuts". Good site.
Here's another. There was an article about these guys in the lifestyle section of our paper today.

www.supportourribbons.com

"My ribbon is better than your ribbon"

"I support more troops than you"

"One nation under ribbons"

and others...or you can make your own. :-)
