Good grief! I've only been in the country a few hours...
and I've already seen the bumperstickers "Thank God for Ronald Reagan" and "Boycott France". What the hell?

Surely this little proto-fascism fad will lose steam and disappear like pet rocks and parachute pants did.

9. I'll say it again - it's wrong to vandalize anyone's car...
...regardless of what they have plastered on the bumper.

You don't f*ck with another man's (or woman's) automobile. It's against the rules.

10. I totally agree. I know those are fun thoughts to have, but to act
on them is criminal.

13. You need to stop with the personal attacks.

Besides, you are the one suggesting vandalism so which one of us really needs to grow up?

3. Alas, a pet rock has hijacked the WH!
Parachute pants would only keep him afloat, I'm afraid. :(

5. Are you in KC?
You should see plenty of Kerry Edwards stickers. I see far more of those here than the ones you mentioned.

6. JoCo.

Although because I've only been here a short while, it's a small sample size of bumperstickers, so the wingnut outliers may dominate the Kerry/Edwards ones.

Edit to add: Right now, the radical right isn't bugging me too much. I have other issues: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3799083&mesg_id=3799083

7. Welcome!!
If you are in Olathe, I am about 10 miles north of you.

Getting ready to leave town myself. Have a great time while you are here.

12. The clean air and open space is great.
While I'm a city kid at heart, I miss these things a bit. It's probably been about 6 months since I've been out of the city.

Good to see the family too, but they're all taking naps right now, so I'm on hold with the baggage bastards again while I DU!

8. Sorry about your luggage
But aren't you glad they will deliver the bags to you? The airport is a million miles away.

14. Drive over to Johnson Co on the MO side and
you'll see almost nothing but * stickers.
It's pretty easy to figure out which car is mine. I stick out like a sore thumb.

16. Welcome! I am in Lawrence, KS so fairly close to you. There are
quite a few Kerry stickers here, but we also have our fair share of * and religious right stickers. Being in JoCo, the bumper stickers you mentioned don't surprise me at all - i've seen my fair share of "God bless Ronald Reagan stickers living in rural KS most of my life.:puke:
anyway, welcome - hope you're baggage arrives soon:)
