Check out my new "bumper sticker".

My wife thinks I'll get shot crossing a red state, or at least get my truck vandalized, but fuck'em.
They voted for a traitor, and I for one will never let them forget it.

Listening to the CB, you'll hear a mixed group of nationalities who are drivers.

It's not as bad as those who commandeer most of the aviation frequencies in Florida. That's scary.

Whenever someone is looking at the same parking spot as me I let them have it, lest I leave my car only to return and see it keyed.

One time this woman in a Benz took a spot that I had arrived first to. I thought to myself how stupid. What if she did it to the wrong person?

It doesn't take much provocation to get Buford T. Redneck of East Cornhole, Arkassippi to unlimber his shootin' iron and blast away.

Hell, I think that just how some of them say 'howdy'.

I have a neighbor who has a car plastered with bumper stickers for Trump, "Veterans for Trump" "Christians for Trump" and so on.


There was one spot that had nothing. It was kind of sad and for longing. So I purchased the sticker below. I didn't want to wake him so late at night I put it in place and it fit perfectly. We had a big laugh when day after day we saw him driving around with this sticker on the back.

?color=White&height=460&width=460&padToSquare=true

After about 6 weeks someone must have told him and it was taken off.

Today I ordered another one.

Some will think it is a violation of personal property. I prefer to think of it as a gentle metaphysical intervention. This person's soul is in danger. Maybe another sticker will be like a defibrillation machine but not for its heart but for his soul.

Or on the other hand people will laugh their asses off and he will be humiliated. In that case I need a spanking.


Its a win win either way.

Political bumper stickers on my car. I do, however, wear protest t-shirts and buttons. I'm headed to Illinois for a trade show next week....wondering what shirts I can get away with. I applaud your sticker and bravery!!

Go get 'em!!!

When it comes to politics. It is blue in elections, but county by county there are more RED than BLUE. South of Peoria county can be considered the strongest red.

Here's a map from the 2016 election for reference. Hope you aren't going to a solid red area.

That image just struck me, though it took some time before my outrage built to the point that I feel that I have no other choice then to fly my freak flag and to hell with any potential blowback.

Since being compelled to offer up a small protest, it made sense do it in an appropriate style. I knew what I wanted, but had to hunt it down via google images. Luckily I found the artwork linked back to a site called redbubble.

Thanks for finding it for me
