knuckledragger bumper stickers on it:
Dear friend and fellow American:
I know how much you support President Bush and the war effort in Iraq. But I noticed that you haven’t signed up to fight yet. It might be because you are too busy, or maybe you just didn’t know how easy it is to join! I know you probably feel guilty about sending other young men and women off to die in your place, so I am sure you’ll take this opportunity to do the right thing:
Sign up for a tour or two in Iraq today!
You will enable some poor soldier who’s stuck there, exhausted, scared, isolated, frustrated, thirsty, poorly supplied, insufficiently armored, under constant threat, lied to about why he’s there and when he’s going to be released, and yearning to come home – to do just that: come home!
What could possibly be more patriotic?
What better way could there be to prove your devotion to President Bush?
“…And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land. God bless the U.S.A.”
Below are the links you can use to sign up to join any branch of the armed forces!

I take no credit for this one. I found it on the internet and merely added one paragraph in the middle. I'm sorry I don't have the source of this in order to give proper credit - and it's been awhile since I first found it. I printed about 200 of these on yellow paper (chickenhawk color, dontcha know?) and I do place them on the windshields of parked cars that sport pro-bush bumper stickers. There was one big-ass pickup truck parked in the neighborhood with a whole lot of these, plus the usual nauseating made-in-China in-yer-face "Freedom ISN'T Free" and "Support Our Troops" and yellow ribbons and stuff, plus the pro-bush ones. I just left a note on the windshielf of that one - 'cause it just made me furious: "Is your yellow ribbon buying them MORE BODY ARMOR???????"
I do NOT let this shit go unanswered or unchallenged. If they're gonna put that stuff out there in my face and pollute my view, I feel obliged to respond. Once, in fact, I actually drove one offending car out of the neighborhood. I saw one parked, featuring lots of obnoxious bumper stickers. I left a leaflet on it. A few days later, I saw it again, parked around the corner. I left another leaflet on it. I have not seen that car again since. Yes, they have a right to put any bumper stickers on their cars that they want. But if it's in public, I have a corresponding right to react (as long as I'm not doing violence or vandalism) and to make sure theirs is NOT the last word.
That's what I do. Now, mind you, I've had bumper stickers on my car that are anti-war, pro-Howard Dean, and one that says "bush KNEW." What's been done to me (besides getting flipped off and given menacing looks from some drivers): I've had my car keyed and my tires slashed. I think leaving a leaflet is a lot more reasonable. Besides, I feel as though it sort of vindicates me. After all, just consider for a moment the kind of "leader" whose followers choose to do that shit - sort of along the same lines as "by thy friends art thou known." It says a lot about said "leader" who attracts followers choosing to perpetrate such violence and vandalism and other anti-social, indeed - psychopathic behavior. Birds of a feather, as they say. They deserve one another.
