Have you seen that Bumper Sticker "Freedom isn't Free"

[madison2000]

Talk about re-framing the issues...

[WindRavenX]

1. I never understood that

Of course freedom isn't free- but what does that have to do with Iraq?

[madison2000]

3. Exactly what I wondered

We have to sacrifice American lives for... Iraqi freedom, thats the implication. But did they want us to, and do they now, and is that what we are doing there, really?

[WindRavenX]

6. that was what I was thinking it was trying to say

How about we fix our own f**king country first?

[Left Is Write]

2. ALLLLLL over the place, and it ticks me off every time.

Of course freedom isn't free. But OUR freedom wasn't in danger from Iraq, and THEIR freedom wasn't the reason they were invaded.

[CandyCrim21]

29. yes but....

apparently that like.... our "mission" .....and its "our.... calling" and... stuff! Just like Charles Mansons calling was to start a race war!:puke:

[sniffa]

4. and it's not 'dumb' either

why isn't there a bumper sticker for that?

[Heddi]

5. It doesn't cost 1600 American Lives or 10,000 Iraqi Lives either....

I hate that bumper-sticker.

Ironically enough, where I live is Ruraltown USA, and those bumper-stickers, along with the "Protect EVERY life" and "support the troops" are always on some Wide-Assed SUV that takes up 2.5 parking spaces at Costco.

"Protect Every Life"....the small, shillouetted fetus....I wonder if "every life" includes non-white, non-christian, non Republicans as well? Or do we just want to preserve the sanctity of life when it lives in a womb (not when it lives in a shack with no running water).

Sigh. That's another discussion for another day

[bunkerbuster1]

20. I SO want a "Hamburger stops a beating heart"

bumper sticker to counter that stupid, weepy pro-"life" garbage...

and I'm not even a vegetarian. I'm merely stating a fact.

Alas, such a bumper sticker would almost certainly be an invitation to a drive-by shooting, here in "Christian" Red State Land.

[LiberalinNC]

7. I've seen a few times

Along w/ that stupid W sticker, makes me sick everytime I see one.

[shaolinmonkey]

8. It's free for all the pro-war cheerleaders who keep getting

tax cuts. They get all the contracts and don't have to pay for frivolities like humvee armor and hazard pay.

[tridim]

9. I saw a "Bush Won, GET OVER IT!" sticker the other day

I would think that especially after Ohio I wouldn't see that sticker this time. How wrong I was. I really hate arrogant BushBots.

[Patiod]

33. If I saw that in a parking lot, their tire pressure might decrease

while they were in the store. No destruction, just maybe a little adjustment of p.s.i.

[alexisfree]

10. yes hate it!

now there is one around in Sacramento ..."body piercing save my life" with a picture of Jesus hands with the nail in it!...

[progressoid]

18. Hey, according to the MSM, you elitists on the coast are all

homosexual, tree-hugging, athiest, vegan, commie, pinko, librals. You been stealing our red state fundies?



That's some kind of spooky bumper sticker though. Yikes.

:crazy:

[drumwolf]

11. Of course, the Freeper definition of "freedom" actually means

"killing towelheads."

[sniffa]

12. funeraLs aren't fun

boredom isn't bored

kingdom is king

faLafeLs aren't awfuL

[OnionPatch]

13. I think "Right! So we better fight hard against the Bush administration!"

I also saw "Vote Freedom First"
My thoughts were that Bush has actually taken more freedom away from Americans! We are LESS free now than before he was made president!

Why don't they just come out and say what kind of freedom they're talking about: Freedom for the US to force our plans on the rest of the world.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

14. What does some third world gangster dictator........

....have to do with our freedom?

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Yeah, these days I hear it's on the march.

;) :hi:

[progressoid]

16. It's double-plus-ungood!

Stupid Americans. They don't even know their language has been hijacked. They've happily jumped into an Orwellian world.

[Liberal Veteran]

17. Actually freedom IS free.

It's one of those inalienable rights that ALL people are endowed with by their creator that is written in our Declaration of Independence.

[Twillig]

19. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

I need one of those Bumper stickers.

[johnnie]

21. If I saw one of those

I would wonder if the person driving that vehicle has done the time in the service or is enlisting.
I want to get a bumper sticker that says "You are an idiot". I don't know why, but I think it's funny.

[Swamp Rat]

22. "Fascism Isn't Free" is how I interpret that crappy bumper sticker. n/t

[yardwork]

23. "Freedom isn't Free" is always stuck to some humongous SUV

or Hummer that cost 50 grand.

[sbj405]

32. Some humongous SUV that is no doubt being used as a tx write-off

:grr:

[Debbi801]

24. One of the Freepers in my office has it on her car...

Allong with the pre-req "support our troops" yellow ribbon, a "W," assorted other Bush stickers, and a big NRA sticker.

It irritates me every time I see it in the parking lot.

Debbi

Must use spell check...

[CandyCrim21]

30. Aww,

I feel for you! Thats just disturbing. This guy that I work with is a total wel fare dad. Lives in the projects dad. And of course I'm not critisizing him for that but when he found out I voted for Kerry he went off about me sticking up for Arabs who are jealous of our freedom and how could I defend them and blah blah blah. And I really could not believe my ears. So then I'm making labels for food prepration and he tells me to make sure I write it in English and not Arabic because we cant read Arabic. ;(

Finally in later conversation, (if thats what you want to call it because this guy is a raging lunatic), I tell him that we invaded the wrong country. Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. and he says to me, "and you believe that". OMG ITs totally hopeless with people like this.:wtf:

[Worst Username Ever]

25. True, it's expensive. Maybe they should start paying their taxes.

[skypilot]

26. Freedom Isn't Free.

Apparently, all it costs these clowns is the price of a bumper sticker. Let's see them put that bumper sticker on an unarmored humvee and drive around Iraq.

[madison2000]

27. Freedom isn't Free, and getting our oil from out from under their sand is

really expensive, so can I have another 80 Billion dollars (not to be kept track of by standard accounting procedures)?

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[CandyCrim21]

28. Everybody has...

a stupid scheming way of making money out of this war. Its such bullshit already. Freedom is Free? WOW DUDE YOU MUST BE PATRIOTIC! I hate that bumbper sticker and now theres one too that says: W-THE PRESIDENT

OMG. Could you be anymore arrogant! My bf found one that says:

F-THE PRESIDENT!

LOL, I got a kick out of that. I'll have to find out where he found it at.

He has one that says fear wins. But I'm a little more pathetic because I still have my Kerry/Edwards sticker on my car. I'm a little behind. :shrug:

[madison2000]

31. I still see lots of Kerry Edwards stickers around- its comforting actually

[CandyCrim21]

39. I agree

then I don't feel so alienated.

[HEyHEY]

34. SHould always be next to one that reads....

"I have no friends or family serving in Iraq"

[chimpy the poopthrower]

35. actually, I kind of like the slogan itself

...just not the way it's used

To me, it suggests all the work that has to be done to keep a democracy running. Like the good work so many on this site do. I agree that I really don't see how it pertains to Iraq at all. Is it supposed to mean the Iraqis' freedom or America's freedom?

[madison2000]

36. Well, you're right. Its a good reminder of the price of freedom when you

think about it in the context of the major wars we've had that were worth fighting, and that accomplished something. But in the context of this war with Iraq it makes no sense to me.

[chimpy the poopthrower]

37. maybe it would be cool to put it on a car with a bunch of "lefty" stickers

...and see how people react :evilgrin:

[Dying Eagle]

38. That is the worst.

I HATE THAT FUCKING STICKER. why don't they put a swastika on it!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flammable Materials]

40. Freedom Isn't Free ... is just another way of saying ...

... FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.
