Independent Thinking in Manhattan

An odd trait of lefties (maybe not so odd, considering their herd mentality) is the propensity to plaster their cars with bumper stickers proclaiming support for liberal causes like “peace,” gun-control, abortion etc. or, especially in Manhattan, opposition to conservatives and their causes. Manhattan is rotten with these four-wheeled billboards, we few conservatives are long used to them and pay them little mind.

There is, however, a vehicle in your Bloviator’s neighborhood that has commanded his attention. It is a big, gas-guzzling 4-wheel drive van that for several year has sported the following bumper sticker.



There appear to be inconsistencies with the message, “Republicans=Always war, all the time,” with the iconography alongside: a swastika, cross and dollar sign. After all, the United States went to war against the Nazis, most Americans who fought that war were Christian and U. S. dollars paid for it. Furthermore, it was a Democratic president who asked for and received from a Democratic congress a declaration of war…but never mind: we get the gist of this sticker, sort of, if we squint our brains.

A while back, a new sticker appeared below the original one.



Here, while the graphic is a tad confusing and the spelling poor, the message is clear enough although it should be pointed out those evil Republicans still haven't rep(p)ressed the owner of the van nor his bumper stickers.

Just a few days ago a third sticker appeared below the other two.



The cumulative message: “Dare to think for yourself: two examples above," an obvious manifestation of the left's intellectual superiority.
