Reply #45: Many are republicans that support the war

Their other bumper stickers usually give it away. For those that aren't, it's still a worthless fashion statement.

Motive only makes them marginally less offensive. You can dress it up with christmas lights or wear it on your forehead... you can be a fascist or a pacifist... it's STILL a freaking magnet.

All of the ribbons that are sold at mass-market retailers are Made In China. I think it's safe to say that more people acquired their ribbons from Walmart etc than from Cafe Press. None of the profits are going to any causes, troop-support or otherwise.

If it makes your republican grandmother feel good to put a magnet on her car and help to make a war profiteer rich, more power to her. I still find them ridiculous and offensive. She has the right to adorn her car with all the fashion statements she wants. I have the right to mock them incessantly.
