Ideas Behind Progressive Bumper Sticker

They discuss the concepts behind progressive bumper sticker designs. It's kind of like reading the cards of text on the wall next to the paintings in an art museum, except there seems to be a lot more relevance to these ideas, as they overtly political, and overtly progressive.

Flipping around through the world associated with Irregular Times, I found a new corner today – Progressive Bumper Sticker. It’s a web site that is what it sounds like, but is more than what you might think.

It’s not just a catalog of progressive bumper stickers. In fact, it doesn’t even seem to be quite that yet – not enough entries.

Besides, the bumper stickers are from all over the web – different systems like Zazzle and CafePress, and different stores within those systems.

The idea of the web site is interesting to me. They don’t just put in a link to a progressive bumper sticker. They discuss the concepts behind the bumper sticker design.

It’s kind of like reading the cards of text on the wall next to the paintings in an art museum, except there seems to be a lot more relevance to these ideas, as they overtly political, and overtly progressive… or, well, liberal, as I would describe it.

It’s not a big sweeping site purporting to unite the masses behind a new movement of enlightenment and liberty and super genius charismatic leadership, though Progressive Bumper Sticker does good in its own way. It’s just a web site that looks at an unexplored niche, and tells what it sees. Simple.

Vroom, vroom.

  i will admit the pictures are disturbing but so was sept 11th. If people would study there world
  history the muslums are the ones that have uaually started the wars and slaughtered the people of other nations for not beliving in god. and another thing, i would like to know how many more bombs wouldve been going off in america had it not been for the people who hate every person in this country being
  in iraq blowing that country up. Im not for the slaughter of innocent people or anything but
  when push came to shove we followed through with the UN resoulation. But that takes balls something that most of the left wing wackos dont have.but i guess the torture chambers in bagdad and the mass graves in the desert were just all made up too. If most of the politians wouldve let the war be fought like a war and not like some stupid like some PC perversion we wouldve already been out of there

  So, you’re saying that the Abu Ghraib torture was part of the war being fought like a war?

  You’re confusing and rambling, Josh.

  No, I think he’s saying that Abu Ghraib was too PC for his tastes.

  Oh. Torture and sexual humiliation is too tame for the Republicans now?

  “If most of the politians wouldve let the war be fought like a war”

  How is the war not being fought like a war? What is it being fought like?

  How are politicians preventing fighting? How would things be different if politicians didn’t do whatever it is they are supposed to be doing?

  It’s a pillow fight. It’s just a big, cushy, pillow fight. That’s surely what Josh means. Josh means that it’s all too soft and cushy over there. He’s just waiting for it to get manly and tough and bloody before he gets off his ass to go and fight the war the way it should be fought, with buckets of blood and no pillows.

  Alan, you just don’t understand. You can’t understand, because you’re an overeducated snob or an undereducated idiot. You can’t understand because you’re a rich limousine liberal or a comfortable middle class liberal softie or a poor liberal failure. If you and your spoiled rotten filthy rich or jealous loser welfare state liberal friends had studied harder or gotten your nose pried out from your books, you would have known that there just isn’t enough fighting over there in Iraq, because the Democrazies have issued orders for our soldiers to stop finding the terrorists in Iraq and look in libraries instead, under the P section for “Pansy Ass.”

  Sigh. I was hoping josh would come back and comment on that one thing. En Vino Veritas, if I’ve got my Latin straight. The rest of the stuff he’s talking about is actually pretty reality-based 1) Muslims have started wars 2) Muslims have slaughtered other people for not believing in their religion 3) if al-Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq to begin with they sure are there now, instead of blowing up stuff here.

  Whether you can take that stuff and put it in your crystal ball long enough to make policy from it is a different question, but you have to admit he didn’t make a lot of wild-eyed statements about liberals and pansies. This is probably the kind of thing people are saying on barstools all over the country.

  It sounds like Josh is troubled by Abu Graib, but troubled by 9/11 as well. Also troubled by the stuff that came out of Iraq after the fall of the statue: mass graves of Saddam’s enemies and torture chambers. Josh thinks just because we go there we will be able to stop the stuff that went on under Saddam, but the torture is now being done by our allies, even though we keep trying to stop it.

  I can’t figure out why josh thinks the military was hampered by politicians. If anything there wasn’t enough civilian input into the running of the war. 1)politicians were saying there should be more troops on the ground, but the generals said no we don’t need more troops. 2) failure to protect national musuem and government buildings and control looting after the fall of baghdad 3)failure to control security in the country outside of a small section of baghdad. 4) No nation bulding. That’s the first thing Bush said. No nation building. Just the military. Baaaaad idea. Now there is no nation, just a lot of warlords and mullahs and private militias.

  So I wish Josh would explain what he said about the politicians, because it seems to me the generals are running everything and have everything just the way they want it.
