I saw the #1 most disgusting vehicle EVER at Blockbuster just now.
Are you ready for this? I was really wishing I had a camera phone for this one.

It had FOUR of those flags that fly up on plastic sticks that come up from the inside of the windows. It had really large magnetic signs on the back with slogans like "GOD BLESS AMERICA" and big flag magnets. Four of those magnetic ribbons with "Support Our Troops," "Texas Supports Our Troops," a camo "Support Our Troops" and "Pray for Our Troops."

The bumper stickers (yes, there's more) read as follows:

You can't be a Christian AND a Democrat.

ABORTION = GENOCIDE!

DAMM--Drunks Against Mad Mothers

Liberals suck.

Then there were three bush stickers.

The side windows had that silk screening applied to the inside (or whatever the process is) in which there is now a depiction of large US flags on the inside of the back windows.

It was like the Nationalism-mobile.

Guess what kind of vehicle it was? This one:



A big ol' Hummer 2.

She came out as I was walking past the Heil Hitler mobile and I said hi, she said hi and I asked her what she's done to support the troops. She stopped and said "What?" I repeated the question. She laughed, pointed to her Hummer and said, "THAT!" very gleefully. When I said "Is that it?" she got snarky and said "That cost a LOT." She started to get into her Hummer (she struggled because she couldn't have been more than 5'1") I said "I mean have you done anything besides put stickers on your car?" Her response? "Fuck you!" AS she was driving off, the coward.

I'd have kicked the shit out of her if she wanted me to.

Hasn't done a single thing but put fucking stickers on her Hummer. Nice. Nice way to "support the troops."

1. If you had kicked her ass, I'd have bailed you out of jail.
Supporting the troops means more than putting on a fucking sticker. :grr::mad:

7. Thanks sweetie.
I know you woulda! LOL!

Oh God it was just so sickening. I don't normally say anything to people like that but I couldn't help it, I have never seen anything that over the top and I just HAD to find out who this was and what she had done since she seemed to support the troops SO MUCH.

Huh. Just as I thought. All show and no go, as my husband would say. That's what he says about bushies, they're all show and no go.

2. I heard someone else say something similar
they were supporting the troops by putting flag pins on their lapels and bumper stickers on their cars.

I, on the other hand, recently sent about $60 worth of stuff to Iraq for my friend's son's platoon. And I am against the war.

5. Yep
I lost track of the number of care packages I've put together with teenagers in my town. I don't go around talking about that because it's not my style, but I get so damn burned the hell up at people who think you can just slap a sticker (or 700) on your car and THAT'S supporting the troops.

How do her stickers help them? NONE.

Thanks,

Not the way these lunatics define "Christianity."

Where was this, if you care to state.

Last time I got into a verbal discussion with a Hummer owner, I also got run down. I don't think they have much of a sense of reality.

14. Yeah
if it had been a guy, I might not have said anything, but she was a tiny tiny woman and I was standing on the sidewalk with several people around. She was alone, too.

Of course we do have concealed carry laws here, but I take my chances, what the hell. Most people like that are nothing but big talk and no walk. As evidenced by her Penis-Mobile.

13. Good for you! Thanks! Couldn't have said it better myself!
That drunks against mad mothers really pisses me off.

My mother was hit head on at 55 mph by a drunk (a 35 yr old driving his dad's car...probably couldn't get insurance himself...). That was 15 years ago. My mother now must live in a wheelchair and has multiple health problems stemming from the accident....only one of which is severe immune problems, as her blood was transferred totally 11 times in 6 weeks.

What a really juvenile thing to say! Drunks against mad mothers!

17. I wish I had had a chance to ask her about that one, too
because like I said in a response above, that one really had me wondering.

I've never seen a sticker like that before, I didn't think drunk driving was something that was very funny.

20. How I wish she had hung around a bit more.
Those were the two I really wanted to talk to her about. I mean Liberals suck, ok that's your opinion, I thought she sucked.

But the other two.....I wanted to have a chat with her about that but all I had a chance to get to was the support the troops stuff.

How I wish I had had a camera with me. I could blur the license plate in Photoshop.

16. You know who could use a Hummer? The troops in Iraq.
Maybe she could drive her patriotic ass right over there and lend her considerable horsepower to the war effort in a more concrete fashion.

18. Well see, she was talking about her Hummer. . . the way she thinks
owning the Hummer supports the troops. After all, if she didn't need all those fossil fuels to run the damned thing, the troops wouldn't need to be in Iraq, and thus wouldn't have that lovely job security that comes from extended deployment.

She's keepin' them employed man! :)


I woulda spit on her Hummer :)

21. Ahem
When I first got out of my car, I seriously considered, for half a second, opening my door a bit TOO hard a bit TOO close to her Hummer. But then I realized my car door was so low compared to her Hummer it wouldn't do much, plus I don't care for the bad karma.

26. Good on you, Bouncy!! Called her on her bullshit!!. what is really telling
to me is the bumper sticker:
DRUNK AGAINST MAD MOTHERS !!!!
Tell me I am not understanding this, please... I am horrified!
I always knew some of these MF's gtt the huge vechiles so they can drive as f&*cked up as they want and never get hurt-- but IMHO, such sentiments are horrifying. I Iost two teenage sisters to a drunk driver and I want to send you a picture and a note to put under that Hummers wiper blade, okay?
These f*ckers wuld like to outlaw DWI laws now too?? F ing *holes.
I am fuming!!

Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 07:55 PM by Bouncy Ball
but good try there, Francis.

Oh and by the way, most people like her are all show and no go. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

In other words, they are world class weenies. If she had tried anything physical, I'd let her go first (assault charges) then I'd defend myself to the tune of doing some serious damage to her (I'm female too).

But I knew she wouldn't. Repukes like that are all big wieners. She even had to yell fuck you AS she was driving off, couldn't do it standing there looking me in the face.

It felt good. Especially because my suspicion that the stickers were all she had done for the troops was confirmed.

Heck anyone can slap a magnetic ribbon on their car (and I love that they are magnetic, so they can take them off easily, sheesh).

I'm not a violent person, but my stepfather taught me well. He was like our personal Kato, jumping out from behind shit to catch us off guard and see how we responded! We got VERY good at defending ourselves.

My stepfather was a strange man, but there are times I'm really glad he was!
