Ann Althouse said...: @Bill

I made a larger version of it. I think it reads easily when you see it bigly.; 11/20/16, 4:13 PM
mockturtle said...: That just about says it all. :-); 11/20/16, 4:15 PM
Unknown said...: "Capitalist"; 11/20/16, 4:17 PM
HT said...: That there is a right wing bumper sticker alright.; 11/20/16, 4:21 PM
traditionalguy said...: That bumper sticker is quite an artistic creation. I understand why Trump won Wisconsin now. But I hope the owner has travel papers for the People's City of Madison.; 11/20/16, 4:43 PM
Humperdink said...: Is the second letter the elephant symbol?; 11/20/16, 4:46 PM
fivewheels said...: At first I thought it was a gas pump, but I think you're right. What's the last I? I hope it's not the World Trade Center.; 11/20/16, 4:50 PM
Humperdink said...: Gotta love the "L". Too bad the AR isn't shaped like an L.; 11/20/16, 4:57 PM
Birkel said...: "Statist" would be a good Leftist bumper sticker.

Or "Coexist with a boot on your neck, forever" but that might be a little long.

"Submission" would work but that may be a bit too religious for Leftists, unlike Coexist which is perfectly secular, one imagines.; 11/20/16, 5:01 PM
Known Unknown said...: The WTC as the I may be in poor taste, but those towers were the epicenter of the capitalist financial industry. A stack of billz would work just as well as the I.; 11/20/16, 5:02 PM
mockturtle said...: At first I thought it was a gas pump, but I think you're right. What's the last I? I hope it's not the World Trade Center.

Maybe it stands for industries?; 11/20/16, 5:02 PM
Danno said...: Awesome bumper sticker! It totally mocks the lefties. However, it is pretty dangerous to have that sticker in Madison.; 11/20/16, 5:10 PM
HT said...: Really? Is the car dented? Maybe we don't see the damage.; 11/20/16, 5:14 PM
Paddy O said...: Having the "Both/And – Tolerance/Innovation by RDG Dahlquist Amalgamated Art Industries LLC brought to you by Honda" statue as the last "I" is cutting edge commentary.; 11/20/16, 5:32 PM
Bob R said...: On the EAST side? What's the over/under on the number of minutes before the car is keyed?; 11/20/16, 5:42 PM
D. said...: Are suv "trucks" in WI?; 11/20/16, 5:47 PM
lonetown said...: At first I thought it said "shit list"! Bigger is better.; 11/20/16, 5:59 PM
traditionalguy said...: I understand the World Trade Center on fire symbol is for Resolve to get vengeance.; 11/20/16, 6:08 PM
Quaestor said...: A bit bigger and clearer

Oh my goodness gracious, this isn't the embigulator, it's the frog exaggerator!; 11/20/16, 6:19 PM
ngtrains said...: the dim sticker above says:

My dog has created more shovel ready jobs than Obama

probably a right wing looney; 11/20/16, 6:23 PM
mockturtle said...: trad guy posits: I understand the World Trade Center on fire symbol is for Resolve to get vengeance.

Nah. Because: "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Romans 12:19.; 11/20/16, 6:35 PM
Quaestor said...: Personally, I think we should leave the world of bumper stickers to the perpetually nebulous. The "Coexist" sticker is already the emblem of the hopeless conformism; no need to dilute that purity.; 11/20/16, 6:53 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: Love it. Capitalism has created more peace, more wealth, more freedom and more self-empowerment than any other cultura/social system humanity has ever known.; 11/20/16, 7:06 PM
Sam L. said...: I particularly like the nearly-unreadable one above it.; 11/20/16, 7:07 PM
Crimso said...: "Capitolist" also works with the Star of David.; 11/20/16, 7:08 PM
Big Mike said...: Wisconsin classifies SUVs as trucks? Otherwise how does a car have a "truck" license plate?; 11/20/16, 7:19 PM
tcrosse said...: What about Tommy Bartlett's Water Show, Wisconsin Dells. Do they even have them any more ?; 11/20/16, 7:46 PM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: The my dog bumper sticker made me laugh. But I'm easily amused. I was once driving and on a conference call concerning the care of a terminally-ill man, when I noticed the car in front of me had a bumper sticker that read, "Vagina-the Other Pink Meat". Not very funny but it took me by surprise and I laughed aloud at an inappropriate moment. I truly am deplorable.; 11/20/16, 7:58 PM
Jon Ericson said...: Who. is. Deplorable?; 11/20/16, 8:14 PM
Rick said...: Bay Area Guy said...

Totally true, which is why the left will do literally anything to get us away from it.; 11/20/16, 8:41 PM

What cynicism??? What hate???; 11/20/16, 9:30 PM

So the guy likes capitalism and has another bumper sticker poking fun at Obama. That's only "cynicism and hate" to a blind Obama worshipper, who can't bear to see his Man God blasphemed. I love your moronic equation of "having a different opinion than I do" as hatred. In Once Written's tiny, empty little mind, all criticism of Obama = cynicism and hate.

Well, you can console yourself by remembering that an idealistic, loving leftist will probably key his car in retaliation. Because you people are all about tolerance.; 11/20/16, 9:33 PM

True..the Left seems to have no bounds in this regard.; 11/20/16, 10:20 PM
Jon Ericson said...: Sorry, that's lame.
My bumper sticker, not so lame.; 11/20/16, 10:40 PM
Left Bank of the Charles said...: I need a way to apply that effect to my license plates to beat the cameras on our newly toll booth free Massachusetts Turnpike.; 11/20/16, 10:53 PM

Well, that's a partial explanation of why you voted for Hillary........; 11/20/16, 11:00 PM

"I can't imagine riding around through life with so much cynicism and hate in one's soul."

Shows what you know.
Capitalism, At its heart, Is optimistic, welcoming and generous. There is really only one drawback. You have to be willing to work hard and be open to failure.

"There is an infinite well of wealth in the world and liberalism is working hard to cap it."

Roger Sweeny said...: I really hope the cynics are wrong and the vehicle is not keyed or dented or in any way messed up.

Anonymous said...: re:someone keying or damaging a car. That's what 360 always on vidcams are for along with normal car mirrors are for. The cams, including the backup cams record in very low light while over writing the old so there's a 24 hour record of comings and goings. And now their are a growing number of contingency firms populated with radical conservative (ok, money seeking) new graduates looking for love and money who are a lot brighter than your average bear - and are deserting dumb party, the party of stupid bullies. I expect the first 100K claim will get some attention, not just the child vandal but their parents being held accountable, like the fracking company is accountable for mini quakes which cause your dog to throw up. Not only do I want a new car, I demand compensation for the month I spent at the ritz carlton on Waikiki beach to recover from the trauma and my lawyer wants half. Good fun.; 11/21/16, 9:25 PM
