A bumper sticker I think we will be seeing a lot of over the next year and a half


I have a strict policy of not putting bumper stickers on my car so as not to be a target to anyone with opposing views and a bad temper, but if not for that, I'd totally spring for this one.

4. I don't personally like the glorification of killing someone.
Something about celebrating death just doesnt sit well with me. I agree that bin laden was likely a part of the 911 organization which killed a few thousand of us americans so i am not at all saddened that he has likely been killed but not overjoyed. Killing bin laden will not stop people from seeing the usa as an economic and military agressor nation which deserves to be the target of jihad. we never did any sould searching after 911 and never asked the question "why were we targeted?"

I like this, actively hunting down, trying to arrest, and killing as a last resort much better than the "i'm not concerned, i dont really think about him" approach of W.

7. This Pretty Much
sums up the way I feel. When I heard the news I didn't really have that stab of glee and then when they started talking immediately about all the "celebration" it kinda struck me as a tad icky. I mean, I'm not crying for the guy, but I could do without the celebrating crowds.

8. I think Obama would agree with you. Didn't hear him screaming "Yippee." It's done. That's all.

9. obama handled the press conference so much better than w
when saddam was captured. the difference between the serious, grave face telling us what happened to bin laden and the laughing "we found him in a hole" from w are night and day. this is one of the cases where i see a marked difference between w and obama.

5. One could hope no
rogue jihadist finds you driving alone on a scarcely populated street with that.... I rather not bring attention like that to myself, or certainly my family for that matter.

10. inflamatory and in poor taste in my opinion
first off obama did not kill him, special forces did
second off celebrating death??? really??? teach the kiddies to celebrate death sometimes?????
third this is not a baseball game, killing bin laden does not bring us into a tie or something, it does not bring back the 3000 who died on 911, it does not bring back any of the people who died in afghanistan, pakistan or iraq from our wars, at it makes the people saying it is cool look bloodthirsty and i thought we criticized bin laden for being blood thirsty.


just my 2 cents, but hey, its a free country, put what you want on your car.

11. Go to a sign company
Ask them to cut up some of their magnetic sign material to the dimensions you need, put the bumper sticker on the material, slap it on your car. When you park, peel it off and throw it in your trunk.

14. Or better yet,
"Your president let him kill 3000 Americans"

But then again, they'd just drag out the tired old "Clinton's fault" BS

13. That is intense! I like it, which is an offensive truth about me.
I tried putting this up in another thread and I messed up the link.

See if you like it, I do.
