How dare you suggest that they should allow everyone to peacefully share the planet. To suggest that they not persecute other religions is a violation of their religious liberty....if you listen to them closely enough.

I don't see my "Hayduke Lives" bumper sticker anywhere there.

Years ago, I was calling to get car insurance for my wife's used bottom-of-the-line Ford Escort. Went through all the standard questions (does it have airbags, antilock brakes, ...) when we get to the question of whether it had an anti-theft device. I replied "well, it's a Ford Escort covered in left-wing bumper stickers..." followed by an awkward pause. I dunno -- I thought it was funny.

I would have laughed.

I used to have the best car for merging in traffic: a rusty Cavalier with a huge sideswipe driver's side from the door to the bumper. Everybody backed off when they saw me coming down the onramp.

All the bumper stickers are great!

and I wondered why I was getting pulled over (mostly for no reason) by cops ... then when that car died, my
next car was a very plain grey with no stickers .. all of a sudden I felt like Frodo having just put on the ring
in-fucking-visible as hell. no more tickets now. paranoid delusion? maybe, but i don't think so.

If they see liberal stickers they get pissed off. They also think they will find pot if they pull you over.

Including a DU sticker.

Lived in Florida and now in NC. Never been pulled over.

I'm a very careful driver too.

bumper stickers, any non standard equipment will ALWAYS arouse the attention of LEOs.

nonstandard equipment/adornments, DARE stickers, FOP stickers, anything really will set off a cop's instinct.

until my car got keyed and I lent my car to my daughter and she called while she was out - to tell me one of the tires had been slashed. Because we were sharing a car is the only reason I took my stickers out. They'd been inside in the rear window. I didn't want them vandalized. If I'd been the only one driving, I'd have left them in place. I rather liked driving around and showing my defiance during the bush/cheney era. But if she was gonna be using my car, I didn't want anything to happen to her.

There was one time, though, when I was alone at the wheel. I'll never forget the angry middle-aged white guy driving the white pickup truck - who came up alongside me on the freeway, and stayed there for a few miles, trying to get my attention. You get this sense of an object pacing you in your peripheral vision if it goes on steadily for a few minutes. I glanced over at one point and saw his face. Total anger and outrage and rude gestures. Pointing toward the rear - where my bumper stickers were. I had "Dean for America," "War is Not the Answer," and "bush KNEW." He was mouthing something that I didn't care to try to decipher. After all, we were driving! at freeway speeds! (I mean - shouldn't we both have been keeping our eyes on the road ahead of us? Sheesh!) He seemed rather hellbent on making sure I was aware of his disapproval. I reached the point where I thought maybe I should try to figure out how to lose this guy in the traffic flow, but by then we'd come to a fork in the road, and there he went - lurching off, abruptly, in the other direction at the last minute. I was glad he needed to use the OTHER freeway than the one on which I was continuing.
