Fair point ... and I agree you don't see much from either side here in TV. However, up in the DC Metro area, cars bedecked with bumper stickers were more common that you might otherwise think ... ie those expressing the liberal wacko point of view.


In TV, you would be taking your life in your own hands by displaying certain bumper stickers.

In 2012, there was a letter to the editor published in the Tampa Bay Times from a Villager who had her car keyed and her golf cart smeared with dog poop because she had Obama stickers on them. This really shows people in the Bay area what kind of adults live in TV.

I find displays of the Confederate flag extremely offensive. And save your lecture about it really is just a regional battle flag blah blah. It is now the recognized representation of the CSA. And it is the flag that fought for the right of its citizens to keep slaves. It was slavery that tore apart this nation. And those who say well I just fly that flag or have it on my truck cuz I'm proud to have been born in the South. I'll accept that line as much as some German flying his swastika and saying it has nothing to do with Jews, some of whom are certainly his best friends, just likes the flag as it represents when Germany stood proud and strong. You don't see a lot of black people with CSA flags on their trucks. So when you wear your CSA flag hat, or sticker up your truck I know I'm looking at a racist or a person so devoid of education that he doesn't understand the significance of his display.

Out of curiosity, which do you find the MOST offensive ... the Confederate battle flag or the Soviet Hammer & Sickle flag?

This photo is amusing as it typifies a common stereotype of "foaming at the mouth" liberal activists,

I could never understand why they trash their car with all the wacko bumper stickers. Very bad for the paint job ..,








Some folks call it freedom of speech.

Cons refer to freedom of speech as wacko.

Could be why Cons lose so many national elections. From the way things look now, Cons are gonna lose again - big time !!!!

We all appreciate freedom of speech until it doesn't agree with our own thinking. Our founding fathers had that figured out.

Actually, the point is more about trashing out a car's paint job by covering it with sticky slogans and bumper stickers

Speaking of the Confederate Battle Flag, here's an interesting twist on history and a footnote to the aftermath of the war. I had never heard of this group of people until seeing the article.
