Bring the Troops Home now yellow ribbon/car magnet at UPJ

A new manager at work just told me about these. I can't wait to get one. I get a sick lurch in my stomach every time I see those ribbons....almost always on SUV's, saying Support Our Troops. You just know who is driving those things. People who support war, death, torture...support our troops..blow off their arms, legs, hands, eyes, ears, and create more terrorism and suffering.

At last, I will be able to put on a ribbon myself: it says, Bring the troops home now and has a peace symbol!

1. I'll take one!

I'll GLADLY distribute those. I am SO sick of seeing these bumperstickers / signs that say (puke alert!) "SUPPORT PRESIDENT BUSH AND OUR TROOPS". Exxxxxxxxxxcuuuuuse me!!!!! Ain't that nice? How American...not!

Lu Cifer, wanna bet the bozo(s) that came up with that are the same troglodytes that came up with the signs that say "10 OUT OF 10 TERRORISTS SUPPORT JOHN KERRY"?!

5. Yellow represents the cowardice of those who cheer on the troops...

from a safe distance. I believe the yellow ribbon symbolism actually dates back to the song about a convict coming home after serving a sentence. Is that the way we view our soldiers?
