Pulllleeeeease~

from the abstract: “Both number of territory markers (e.g., bumper stickers, decals) and attachment to the vehicle were significant predictors of aggressive driving. Mere presence of a territory marker predicts increased use of the vehicle to express anger and decreased use of adaptive/constructive expressions.”

I don’t like “fuzzy” generalizations either; however, I must tell the truth using a “clear” one.

Having lived in one kind of liberal heaven or another all my life, I might just be an expert on the matter.

I’ve met few real hardcore Liberals who have even a semblance of discerning taste in any aspect of their lives.

Very messy.

Little attention to aesthetics.

Buy cheap jug vino, chips, and pretzels when throwing a party at their home…….

……..but when attending someone else’s party, will drink the top shelf spirits dry and eat the place clean.

Love to spend other people’s money.

Love to love you baby if it don’t cost them nothin’.

And yes, cars loaded down with bumper stickers which I have seen belong to Liberals trying to sell their political DNA to everyone they meet.

Who else would harm the paint job on a car by turning it into a mobile message board but an excitable Liberal?

LOL!!!

As person of common sense, i think the theory that liberals are more disposed than conservatives to display bumperstickers is utter nonsense.

In fact, I think most people of common sense know better than to make such asinine generalizations about others based on something as fuzzy as the tag “liberal” or “conservative.”

I think that liberals who identify themselves as cultural elites take pride in displaying their bumper sticker causes like badges of honor. It is how they signal to the world that their vehicle contains a compassionate yet intellectually superior individual.

I think that conservatives who wish for small, limited government, constitutionally granted rights, respect the sanctity of life, and the freedom of worship are less prone to feel the need to demonstrate intellectual or societal superiority via a collection of bumper stickers on their car. These folks might sport a police benevolent sticker, perhaps a church decal or a child’s school logo or emblem. Perhaps conservatives feel less motivated to display and preen the plumage of conspicuous self-promotion and elite moral superiority to the rest of the world.

I’ve also found that displaying conservative bumper stickers unfortunately frequently results in having the sticker and the car it is on defaced and vandalized by, ahem, compassionate yet intellectually superior liberals.
