get yellow ribbon magnets at Michaels! |
|
I have been looking around for a month or so for the yellow "support our troops" magnets that a lot of cars have here in Madison. Usually, these ribbons are seen in conjunction with W'04 stickers. I finally found them at our local craft store, Michaels so I would check yours.
So, I wanted one for my car- to go with me "Bush Lies People Die" and my "we're making enemies faster than we can kill them" and my "Kerry/Edwards" sticker.
I wanted one b/c the implication that I can't be against the president and support the troops is so divisive right now and so not true. I support our troops by not wanting them to die for dubya's mistakes
So, I invite all of you put a yellow ribbon on your car with your Kerry stickers. Tie a yellow ribbon on your yard sign. Let's not let them get away with co-opting troop support!!
(I also kind of expect mine to get stolen from my car with all my anti-Bush stickers. We'll have to see what happens. At least I know where to buy another one for 2 bucks!)

2. I had the same thought. My local Walgreens had them ... |
|
... and I now have both a Kerry/Edwards and a Support our Troops. They belong together.

4. That's just what I did |
|
put the yellow ribbon next to my K/E sticker. I had trouble finding it and I found it in the supermarker (Hannaford's) but it was at the customer service area, behind the counter and you had to go there to pay for it.

7. Take a "Sharpie" pen to it to personalize |
|
I added "bring them home!" with the pen to add my viewpoint

11. I have a yellow ribbon magnet that says "USMC" |
|
in honor of my son, who is stationed in Japan. It's on the driver's side of my car because the back is all fiberglass so it won't stick. I also fly the American and Texas flags every day.
The days of republicans co-opting patriotism as exclusively one of their values are over!

12. YES! My yellow ribbon says "Support our Troops" AND "NOT BUSH" everybody |
|
should do this!!! I got the yellow "Support our Troops" magnet and wrote in CAPS with a heavy Sharpie NOT BUSH on the other half of the ribbon. I placed it sideways so both are readable! It really says everything that I need to say in one spot. I have "Kerry-Edwards" in the side windows along with some slash/W stickers. I also sometimes temporarily place "DEFEAT HATRIOTISM" and the one below on the window "sills" of my car. I am happy driving long distances on the highway like this :D

16. You might want to rethink that sideways thing. |
|
The local fundies up here in the Lake Effect Zone all do this because it resembles a Jesus fish.

17. How quaint - like I care what a retarded fundie thinks!! |

Edited on Sat Oct-16-04 03:21 PM by Mr_Spock
I don't even consider the fundies as human beings - I think of them as Satan's soldiers - sent here to destroy all that is good and right with the world. They are satans little helpers from hell, not real humans.

14. I forgot to mention I also wrote "Bring them home" on my ribbon |
|
And I was just thinking- maybe having a yellow ribbon on your yard sign may make someone feel guilty about stealing it.
And I love the DU! I am so glad I found this place!

15. they're EVERYWHERE here, drug stores, candy stores, you name it, but |
|
I want one that says 'Never Forget 9/11' and they are NOWHERE. I searched eBay, Googled it, nothing.
But the troops one is everywhere and it's online everywhere. Google it. You'll find them.
