I love a good bumper sticker, especially if it’s funny or shares the driver’s political views.  But increasingly I’m seeing political bumper stickers that are childish, crazy, or just don’t make sense.  I’m all for your free speech, driver in front of me, but I don’t think a lot these do much to advance the debate on their respective topics.

A while ago I did a post on the best health care bumper stickers, so I won’t include too many of those.  Most of these are conservative or republican bumper stickers, but liberal bumper stickers are guilty too in some cases.

Seriously?  Someone who wants to spend less money on gas and spew less emissions into the air pisses you off so much you’d like to run them over?

Well, yes, that’s one possible outcome.  Did you know red states have higher divorce rates?

Real mature.

If this in reference to Obama it’s the most racist thing I’ve ever seen.

This is one of the more common ones.  Initially I thought it was funny but I think it makes one big incorrect assumption: that people on welfare are not hardworking and that they want to be on welfare.  I’m sure there are exceptions, and maybe I’m naive, but I honestly believe most people want to be financially independent and work for an honest living.  In other words, I’d like to think that no one is on welfare by choice.

This driver is apparently unfamiliar with this data, that suggests a correlation between education and liberalism.

Again, real mature.

This is just frightening.

So God’s pro-life stance must not apply to kittens.  Did you know that God, through natural miscarriages, performs more abortions than every clinic in the country combined?

Surely you could think of a greater threat.  Nuclear war, theocracy, alien invasion?

Now contrast those with the liberal bumper stickers.  I’ve found liberals are far more likely to use facts, logic, and reason on their bumper stickers.  But I suppose that could be the liberal media bias that has brainwashed me…  Sure, only facts that support their side of the argument but facts nonetheless.  And to be fair, I’ve left out some of the more idiotic ones.

Conservative response: it will easily be 10 times that number once the government takes over.

Washington said that?  Don’t tell Glenn Beck.

Longer?  Yes, look it up.  Better?  That’s always subjective.

But I’ll love my wife so much less knowing a gay couple has the same legal rights as us!

Easy: selective reasoning.  Try it sometime.

I disagree with this.  Labor creates some wealth, but certainly not all.  Smart entrepreneurs and managers directing that labor deserve some credit too.

That stings.

What, and sit idly by when my 2000 year old book says they’re all going to burn in hell?  They must be saved!!!
