We should make flag magnets for cars that say "I support President Bush"

[SemiCharmedQuark]

I asked in 4 different stores today and they all said that the proceeds from those "Support our troops" do not go to help the troops. So lets make these stupid things "Supporting" president dumbass and donate the money to the Dems.

1. I hate those fucking ribbons!

I had to keep myself from spitting on them today as I walked to work. Cheap easy pseudo-patriotism!

I like the idea of exploiting the rubes this way. ;)

[Maiden England]

3. I had one on my car

$1.50 - a cheap way to prevent vandalism when placed next to my K/E sticker.

14. They're all made in China, no doubt.

I wonder where the profits really go. Do they pretend to benefit "the troops?"

[Jack_DeLeon]

15. Not quite, but in the same general region...

we sell them at the store I work at, the ones we have are "Made in Taiwan," I would venture to say most of them are.

I suppose its better than doing even more business with communist China, but it sure as hell isnt as good as doing business with our fellow American manufacturers.

none of the profits go to the troops, unless you count the fact that some taxes somewhere go to the government. Then again people are wrong for just assuming that the profits actually support the troops, no where on the packaging does it make any claims to that.

16. Typical easy "patriotism" Bushmerica style.

:puke:

Unless they're used as anti-keying devices. Nice to appeal to the sappy side of Bushmerican vandals.

21. feh, mine was removed from my car less than 12 hours after I put it

there. Kerry supporters apparently don't "deserve" to support the troops here. :hi:

22. I added "NOT BUSH" on my ribbon so it would piss them off!

The other half of the yellow ones has a nice space to write "NOT BUSH" - I CAN support the troops and not the "Murderer in Chief"!

2. we could print Bibles - with hidden messages like "thou shalt not kill" -

and "thou shalt not steal", "love thy neighbor" and "turn the other cheek". I bet we could really sell a buncha those, a slip in a kindly subliminiable message, too.

[aquart]

5. Actually, "Thou shalt not kill" "Thou shalt not steal"

"Love thy neighbor" buttons, t-shirts and bumper stickers would be the loveliest idea.

Let's start now, calling them on their hypocrisy using their own tools.

10. Matthew 7:20

I want people holding up Matthew 7:20 signs at sports rallies.

I want a Matthew 7:20 button in every color for every outfit.

I want to hear them start saying why the book of Matthew isn't the TRUE gospel.

11. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I looked it up. I think I may be repeating it.

8. LOL

nice

12. cheers

:toast:

[Emops]

4. I hate the fact that they're MAGNETS

and you can take them off at will. They should be permanently affixed to your car once you put it on.

By the way, I was the first person I knew of to have one. I tied one around my car antennae in mid-2003.

[jdots]

6. Oh they will make those bush flags

and they will be made by slaves...ha ha but it is a good idea to do something like that .but it should be real dumb so it would sell to the gomers.

[Wabbajack]

7. Too late

Bush has won reelection so his voters have no reason to get bumper stickers and stuff.

[realisticphish]

13. sure they do

if you didnt know, the patriot act requires every registered vehicle to have two (2) pro-shrub stickers on it

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Wabbajack]

18. So that's why I got the boot

I thought it was all those tickets.

[madrchsod]

9. our friends sell them in the area where we live--

they do collect the profit and buy things for the troops. so far they have raised several thousand dollars and have raised from local business several tens of thousand of dollars worth of goods for the troops-all things they need but can`t get there in iraq. always ask if the money goes for the troops

[ComerPerro]

17. I saw one sticker that really confused the shit out of me.

"Support the President, Support the Troops, Pray for Peace."

Excuse me? Pray for peace? The only reason we don't have peace right now is because that fucking asshole wanted to be at war so badly that he lied over and over again to get us there! We don't have peace now, and its Bush's fault!

[SarahB]

19. How about "Support the Military-Industrial Complex" yellow ribbons?

Unfortunately, it would go right over the heads of most people.

[LoZoccolo]

20. I've thought of starting a pro-Bush* venture like that.

I keep thinking - fuck, got lemons, make lemonade.

The magnetic thing might be a timely idea.
