Don’t Like Socialism? Get Off the Highway!

The Sticker — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:01:45 +0000

Every time I read someone on the internet proclaiming about the evils of socialism, how government never gets anything right, I find myself wondering if they are aware of the origins of the internet itself. And every time I come across a bumper sticker condemning socialism on I10 or I40 or I90, I wonder why the people whose cars sport such bumper stickers would choose to travel on the interstate highways. The interstate highway system, you know, is a socialist big government program.

Come on, people, be consistent. You don’t like socialism? Then get off the highway!

Jesus, Pontius Pilate, Obama and Palin Bumper Sticker

The Sticker — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:23:10 +0000

Sarah Palin and other conservative Republicans mock Barack Obama’s experience as a community organizer, and Sarah Palin extols her identity as a governor. Sarah Palin also extols her credentials as a conservative Christian. Christian, governor, community organizer… isn’t there something in the Bible about all this?

Jesus was a Community Organizer, Pontius Pilate was a Governor bumper sticker

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

The Sticker — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:24:20 +0000

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

The Sticker — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:16:47 +0000

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 Print On Demand (POD) bumper sticker makers at Zazzle make a useful tool available to shopkeepers: statistics in rank order displaying the most-often bumper stickers viewed within a time period. The frequency of recent bumpersticker views on our Zazzle webshop (which sticks solely to bumper stickers with liberal messages on them) is an indicator of liberal sentiment about social and political causes of the day. What are these causes, and how do liberals orient themselves toward them?

The following are the ten most viewed liberal bumper stickers (not including our presidential election bumper stickers, which for purposes of clarity we rank separately) on our Zazzle webshop for the week of April 22-29, 2008:

1. Bitter: Ask Me Why

2. Customizable Bumper Sticker Against Right-Wing Congressional Kooks

3. Custom Candidate for Congress Bumper Sticker (Blue and Red background)

4. Customizable Congressional Campaign Bumper Sticker (Blue Background with Red Stars)

5. Support the Peace, Say No to War

6. Mark Twain Quote: “Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.”

7. Ben Franklin Quote: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

8. Is the Earth Getting Hot, Or Is It Just Me?

9. Fight Global Warming: Get On Your Bike!

10. Veterans Against the War

These messages are what liberals are looking for now. These searches capture the frequency of the liberal wavelength that’s resonating outside the presidential campaigns right now. Ask yourself: do they reflect what’s happening inside the presidential campaign?
