I see this bumpersticker a fair amount and I have NO idea what it means
Power of Pride



WTH is that supposed to mean?



Oh, btw, I saw a ribbon magnet yesterday that read:

Support America


I was :rofl:

1. I think it ought to be depicted with a Confederate Flag
That's the spirit, anyway :)

4. It's a free sticker given away at Lowe's.
They gave them out right after 9/11. I had one, but it finally wore out.

5. Really? Hmm...most appear to be in good shape (not faded)
I had a feeling it was related to the big uber-mega-church, lovingly referred to around here as Six Flags Over Jesus.

6. RW fundie types ought to know their O.T. Bible says pride comes before
a FALL. It is to be avoided. I guess they cherry pick the verses they want to live by.......oh, well. I'm sure it "means", to them, something like an American boot "in the a**" sort of thing. Once again, if they knew their Bible, they would realize Jesus didn't wear boots.

7. It's a jingoistic declaration similar to "love it or leave it"
Edited on Tue May-02-06 09:19 AM by mcscajun
only a tad more subtle. It is intended to get in your face, though.

Some joker decided to make up similar stickers (same flag motif) with the remaining Seven Deadly Sins:

Power of Sloth
Power of Lust
Power of Gluttony
Power of Avarice
Power of Envy
Power of Wrath

They're available at: Seven Deadly Sins: Slapnose Goodies

10. Oh, those are great!
If I were one to vandalize others' vehicles (which I'm not), I'b be tempted to put Power of Gluttony on any SUV with a W sticker! :evilgrin:

11. Excellent choice! And I wouldn't do it either.
Still, it's nice to think about. :evilgrin:

8. Right after 9/11, they were essentially giving them away.
I confess my husband had one on his car, but we scraped it off not long after.

13. You mean they're not supporting Gay Pride?
I'd misunderestimated it then.
