Progressive Bumper Sticker

Sarah Palin Shows Ignorance Again: Please, Prevent Truth Decay!

Oh dear. In a response to the 2006 Eagle Forum Questionnaire, Sarah Palin revealed the depth of her knowledge regarding the Pledge of Allegiance:

Question: Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

Sarah Palin: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

How plucky! The problem is, the founding fathers didn’t write the Pledge of Allegiance, and they certainly didn’t incorporate “Under God” in the U.S. Constitution. In fact, they kept any references to the divine out of the Constitution! Is this who you want to be one creaky heartbeat away from the presidency?

Prevent Truth Decay. Reject McCain-Palin in 2008.

Hillary Clinton Turns No Way, No How, No McCain into THE 2008 Bumper Sticker Phrase

Hillary Clinton’s dynamic speech before the Democratic National Convention has turned the tide in the race, moving past Clinton vs. Obama dramatics to Democrats vs. John McCain concerns. She made clear in no uncertain terms the many ways in which John McCain stands in opposition to progress in the United States of America. Her most memorable line: No Way, No How, No McCain!” will be perhaps the most memorable bumper sticker statement of the 2008 Elections. So it makes sense that there would be an actual No Way, No How, No McCain bumper sticker. And here it is.

Exxon-McCain 2008 Bumper Sticker

Over at Democrats.org, they’ve put together a sweet little website, Exxon-McCain 2008, a parody site that reveals the connections between John McCain and the oil industry. Did you know, for instance, that John McCain has put together a little $4 Billion legislative gift to the oil companies while he runs around telling the rest of us little people that he can’t afford to do anything that would help us out of this energy crisis? For shame, John McCain!

Here is an Exxon-McCain 2008 bumper sticker to help spread the meme, using the style of the George W. Bush 2004 bumper sticker to help reinforce the idea that John McCain is just four more years of George W. Bush.

The Most I Can Muster Lately On a Barack Obama Bumper Sticker

What with Barack Obama breaking his promise to actively oppose the FISA Amendments Act, I’m pretty downhearted about the Senator as a presidential candidate. The Constitution is kind of sort of the core document of our nation and all, and if he won’t protect and defend it, what can we depend on him to do?

This is the closest I can come to designing a pro-Obama bumper sticker lately:

Sigh. At least he’s not John McCain.

United We Stand - We Being All Humanity

One of the tragic consequences of the regime of Homeland Security has been the shrinking of human consciousness. The idea of the Homeland, reset the ideal of e pluribus unum to the instinct of nationalism. Under the Homeland, we have abandoned the values of democracy for the security of turf.

When people repeated the motto United We Stand, the we didn’t refer to anyone but Americans. The rest of the world wasn’t included in we any more. We were not part of humanity any more. We became exclusively Americans, and set ourselves apart from everybody else.

It’s time to step away from the Homeland, and return to the United States of America that we used to know. This bumper sticker helps us do that. It takes the Homeland Security motto United We Stand, but brings our focus back out to see the whole Earth, not just the USA.

United we stand only works if we stand with all humanity. Otherwise, we’re not really united.

Anesthesiologists for Obama

The concept behind this pro-Obama bumper sticker is really quite clever, if you take it past its literal level.

We all know that America is in a lot of pain right now, and that a lot of that pain comes right from the Bush White House. 71 percent of Americans now disapprove of the job that George W. Bush is doing as President of the United States. That’s a record-breaking level. No other President, not even Richard Nixon, was disapproved of so much.

George W. Bush has been the worst President in American history, and it’s caused Americans pain.

From that perspective, the goal of the 2008 presidential election is to stop the pain. Who understands pain better than anyone else? Anesthesiologists.

So we see this bumper sticker, then: Anesthesiologists for Obama. Barack Obama is the presidential candidate who can most credibly break with the broken policies and failed ideas that have caused America pain. It’s Obama who can end the pain, and that’s why anesthesiologists support Barack Obama for President of the United States.

I Don’t Just Hug Trees. I Kiss Them Too.

Apologists for a filthy Earth think that they’re being clever when they call environmentalists tree huggers. They believe that they’re making fun of ecologically aware people, but the truth is that the tree huggers term only sounds like an insult to someone who has some serious psychological damage.

What kind of sick mind would prevent someone from loving trees? Trees are one of the most basic, primal objects of adoration for humankind. Trees have been at the heart of human mythology and human subsistence for as long as there have been humans.

So yes, I’m a tree hugger, but I don’t just hug trees. I kiss them too.

Children take special delight in trees. So, Irregular Times offers the following video, featuring, in the middle, a boy climbing a tree and singing about it in delight. Isn’t that the very picture of happiness?

For those who are curious, here’s the very same bumper sticker seen in this video.

Barack Obama For A More Perfect Union

One of the best qualities of Barack Obama is his ability to think thematically about the important events and issues of the present. Barack Obama has a deep mind that is able to perceive the patterns of meaning in public debates over policies and politics.

Yes, Obama has the intelligence necessary to understand the literal specifics of policy matters. A lot of people have that kind of mind, however. What a most politicians don’t have, however, is the contemplative strength to understand how the literal specifics of policy come together to create meaning. That rare ability distinguishes Barack Obama from the crowd of Washington policy wonks.

Barack Obama’s skill in grasping the meaning of an historical moment, and seeing how varied issues come together within the moment, was showcased yesterday, in a speech he gave that might be entitled, A More Perfect Union - Obama ‘08.

The speech began with the following paragraph: “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.” Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America’s improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.

The beauty in Barack Obama’s mind is that, in introducing this speech, he was simultaneously able to touch upon the direct matter at hand, the state of race relations in the United States, but also upon the fundamental promise of his presidential campaign: A More Perfect Union. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has, from the start, been based upon the promise that the United States of America can do better than it has done in the past, and that we don’t have to settle for a repeat either of the 1990s or of the last eight years. We can do better. America can grow to become a more perfect union.

Yesterday’s speech by Barack Obama was not the typical laundry list of political platitudes that America has become used to hearing. It wasn’t written by committee, either. Barack Obama wrote the speech himself.

Yesterday, Barack Obama proved that he is not only a great speaker. He is a profound thinker as well.

A President who thinks. Wouldn’t that be nice? Please, let’s put Barack Obama in the White House.

Latte Drinking Prius Driving Democrat For Obama

The Hillary Clinton campaign for President in 2008 just met its demise, and no, I’m not talking about Clinton’s big losses in Wisconsin and Hawaii. I’m talking about the comments by big Clinton supporter Thomas Buffenbarger, introducing Hillary Clinton at a political rally yesterday in Youngstown, Ohio.

Tom Buffenbarger attacked Barack Obama as if he were Karl Rove… Buffenbarger, I mean. Buffenbarger sneered condenscendingly at Obama as a “silver tongued orator”, a “shadow boxer”, and weirdly, as being from Illinois, Kansas and Hawaii: “Will we rely on the Harvard Law Review editor? The silver-tongued orator from Kansas, Hawaii and Illinois?”

Since when is being from Illinois, Kansas or Hawaii something to be ashamed of? Why did Buffenbarger launch that out as an insult?

The worst from Buffenbarger, however, was saved for Barack Obama supporters, whom Tom Buffenbarger apparently despises with a passion. Buffenbarger screamed into the microphone,

“The Barack show is playing to rave reviews sold out at college campuses after college campus. Standing room only crowds to hear his silver-tounged orations. Hope, change, yes we can? Give me a break! I’ve got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak. This guy won’t last a round against the Republican attack machine. He’s a poet, not a fighter!”

Latte drinking, Prius driving, Birkenstock-wearing? Funny, but that sounds like the kind of attacks Republicans use. Remember how the Republicans called Howard Dean a latte-sipping, sushi-eating, New York Times reading liberal? What on Earth is this kind of insult doing coming out of the mouth of a Democrat against another Democrat?

And does Tom Buffenbarger really believe that there’s something wrong with people going to college? Hillary Clinton, as I remember, went to college for awhile herself.

This bumper sticker is now out there for all the Democrats who are sick and tired of seeing blowhards like Tom Buffenbarger spend all their time attacking the Democratic voter instead of going after the Republican Party: Are you a latte drinking prius driving Democrat for Obama? Good, be proud of it, and put this bumper sticker on your car to tell Buffenbarger to go to hell.

Yes We Can, The Music, The Video And The Bumper Sticker

It was a couple weeks ago now that we noted the power of the simple motto of the Barack Obama for President campaign: Yes We Can. Well, starting this week, there’s been a powerful media phenomenon going on, the Yes We Can Barack Obama Music Video, as seen below.

The presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and John McCain have nothing like this - and if they tried to get something like it going, it just wouldn’t seem right. The slogan Yes We Can and the idea behind the video match Barack Obama in particular.

Even before the music video was released, the Yes We Can message was being accepted and spread independently around the web, and on the streets of America. The Yes We Can message is being seen on bumper stickers on the highway, on buttons on college campuses, on t-shirts in the mall, and on yard signs in every kind of neighborhood in every kind of community.

Yes we can.
