but

A) Shit happens

B) We need to discuss it or at least be aware of it's existence so we can figure out ways to combat it.


I'd love to live in happy, happy, joy, joy land too. But they won't prescribe me that many anti-psychotics. So I just had to grow up and learn to live with the fact that, sometimes, the world is an ugly place.

They want to reduce the deficit and start bombing Iran

They want to reduce taxes and cut the defecit

They want to give money to big oil and increase taxes to the middle class.

They are so mixed up

(and the add I had next to the OP
was a Repug election T-shirt from
Big-nuts.com) We've got a little of
everything on this site!!

But don't take anything for granted; there are still plenty of uninformed and prejudiced voters in this country who are willing to vote against their interests.

and I won't take it for granted that he is a shoe-in for another term, you are very correct - there are people out there that vote directly against their own self-interest based on nothing more than hate and ignorance. Some of it is willful ignorance imo.

to them,the pukes that is, it's not about taking our country and moving it ahead, the election is about

defeating President Obama, no more, no less.

If they could stand in front of a camera and scream "we have to take our country back from that black guy" they

would but in order to win the pukes have to at least give lip service to the minority communities.

I wonder if this bumper sticker is going to get a lot of use from our Republicans friends. It makes it kind of hard to claim their criticism isn't racially motivated, though I'm confident that Fox or that vile human being will find a way to blame those sneaky liberals for making Republicans say racist things.

but will definitely laugh about it and some might even wish they could "get away" with it.

And then be pissed off for a while at the political correctness that doesn't let them be openly racist.


Because racists are, by and large, total chickenshits.

I guess not the one in OP but there's always a few who are proud of their ignorance. There's an old beat up pick-up I see around town fairly often that has pro-KKK bumper stickers.

thinks the opposite is true.

So, follow me now, cause it gets tricky.... It means I don't really think it was clever at all.

And if you look at the bottom where the eye-rolling smiley follows the sentence - because they aren't racist- that means I think they probably are.

Shocking I know... that I can write something and have it mean exactly the opposite.

First of all, the word is RENEGE. The word is misspelled so they can get their extra dose of racism in.

Second of all, it makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE!!! Renege means to go back on a promise. So the sticker is saying, don't go back on your promise, don't vote for Obama? What the fuck does that mean? Any asshole having a bumpersticker like this NEEDS to be confronted. I'd confront any racist asshole who had something like this on their car. If they tried to feign ignorance, I'd school that asshole.

It's nice that these assholes are leaving their racism out in the open, though.

Park right in front of my house, I won't mind. I won't say a negative word at all about the bumper sticker. I will even call a cab so (s)he can get home after the car is completely vandalized. This would NOT go over well in my largely minority neighborhood of Milwaukee.

TeaBaggers usually say something like..

Forged birth certificate.
Radical.
Socialist.
Stolen Social Security Number.
Markest.
Dog whistles all of it. They know what they are saying. So do we.
At least this fool holds enough courage in his belifes to spring for a new paint job (I hope!) after the keyjob he so deserves.

Granted, not everyone who attacks Obama or his policies is racist. In fact, most of them probably aren't. But it's like that expression about stupidity: Not all Republicans are racists but racists do tend to be Republican.
