I saw one stupid one - "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" Belonged to some liberal democrats, of course.
[In a topic regarding different bumper stickers}
Probably the dumbest one I've ever seen was: "It'll be a great day when schools have all the money they need and the Armed Forces have to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber."
Morons -If this country didn't have strong defense system, we'd be lucky to have any schools!
Maybe I need to get a bunch of the "If idiots could fly this place would be an airport" bumper stickers, and put them over ones like those above when no one is looking!

"I saw one stupid one - "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" "
Yeah, it's stupid. It's so obvious that the answer is Iran.
"Morons -If this country didn't have strong defense system, we'd be lucky to have any schools!"
What do we need defense from, why do we need to be pouring so much money into it, and why does it need to involve a massive and excessive stockpile of nuclear weapons? At some point, building up defense in this manner either becomes excessive and paranoid, or a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
"If idiots could fly this place would be an airport"
That's absolutely brilliant! I think that we have just found a new slogan for Rapture Ready!
"Morons -If this country didn't have strong defense system, we'd be lucky to have any schools!"
So clearly you are vaguely aware that there are other countries, which sets you above usual fundiedom, but not by much. How the fuck do you think they get by without an overfunded military? Here's a hint: many of them get by better than the US.
Because we want to make sure our Armed Forces are as uneducated as possible!
gods, you guys are fuckwits.
Actually, the bumber sticker says:
If ASSHOLES could fly, this place would be an airport.
It's much funnier that way, dontcha think?
10% of the American military budget would provide food, clean water and an education to every man, woman and child on the planet but you boobs absolutely must have one more shiny bomber with solid gold cupholders and Leopard skin hubcaps to protect you from people who are angry because they can't get enough food, clean water or education to stop their children from dying.

So you're the guy that was doing shit like that to me at college! Hows your face doing? The tailgate of my truck taste good?
Fucker, we already are so advanced that it's kinda looking like War of the Worlds.
Shit, I bet some of our poor enemies really DO think we're aliens with spaceships when an F-22 attacks. Think about, I think we have enough guns to defend us for a hundred + years.
@ rubber chicken : You're right ! I never did the math. 10 % might even be generous !

This is, of course, why Japan's schools are so terrible that they can't develop a skilled workforce.
Lichtenstein's army is composed entirely of archers and most of those very small countries have good education records.
And Japan hardly even has an army and their school system is one of, if not the, best systems on the planet.
"It'll be a great day when schools have all the money they need and the Armed Forces have to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber."
Wow, you'd have to get pretty close to read all of that on a bumber sticker.
"And Japan hardly even has an army and their school system is one of, if not the, best systems on the planet."
I wasn't going to say anything on this topic, being an Atheist in the USMC I understand that some issues I won't get much leeway on, but this? Come on! The reason why Japan doesn't have a military is because the US is their military! We have over five Air Stations and as many bases, plus two Carrier groups out here. I myself am stationed at a base in Japan that's sole purpose is to counterattack a North Korean offensive and provide supplies to our bases in South Korea. I work with the JMSDF on a daily basis and their HQ on base doesn't have an internet connection. It's not like we're stopping them, they just don't care.
Consider one thing, Washington D.C. spends the most per student than any other school district in the country (maybe the world, but I can't find the data). A recent study came out that showed only something like 15% of 8th grades could read at a satisfactory level.
The military is not stealing money away from poor children that would all of a sudden become lawyers and engineers if given the cash, we as a country give plenty of money to education. The problem comes down to so much of it is wasted, as all parts of the government do (you better believe the military is just as guilty).
In truth, I don't see the quote as fundie; stupid? Yes. Religious? No.
(Fixed spelling mistakes)
I have to agree somewhat with Sally. Japan doesn't have a big military due to restrictions that are in place from WW2. Considering the assistance from the U.S., there's not much impetus for them to change that, either.
Also, while I'm not versed too well on the dollar amounts of education, I have to agree with the point that there's a difference between not spending money and spending it stupidly.
Having once been told by a boss that I needed to put a specific bumper sticker on my vehicle to encourage safety and informing him I would for ten dollars a day charge for being a rolling advertisement I agree that bumper stickers are silly. However given the fact of the expense of a stealth bomber and the lack of targets valuable enough to justify it's existence outside of a major world war, I kinda of agree with the "bakesale" bumper sticker. As far as "Who would Jesus Bomb" sticker, I do find it odd that fundies who claim to follow the "Prince of Peace" seem to be the first one's to advocate war, especially like our current unnecessary war against an opponent who didn't attack us.

Way to completely miss the point, dipshit. No one is saying that you should do away with the military -- even a godless left-wing heathen like me can see why that would be a horrible idea. What they are saying is that it's sad that education gets so little funding, while the government squanders away so much money the military budget. Yes, defense is important, but so is education. Ignorance is every bit as dangerous not having a military would be. The military protects the people from being harmed from the outside, while education protects them from being harmed from the inside. Ignorance was what caused people to be burnt at the stake or drowned during witchhunts. It's what causes women to be stoned to death in the middle east, and what drove Al Qaeda to fly planes into the world trade centre.
It takes both brawn AND brains to keep a country safe. As it stands, the American military is over-bloated and money-draining, while the school system is falling apart. The lack of balance between the two is disgraceful.
Yes, because we need bombers (offensive weapons) for DEFENSE of our country? WTF?
I'm sure anything a multi million dollar plane could do, a few grunts on the ground could do aswell for DEFENSE.
Besides, who do we need defense from, china owns us financially, no one in the western world would dare try because of economic reprecusians and world wide condemnation. The mid east just spews alot of hot air, they managed two, three attacks maybe on us and succeeded because we were sleepin' at the post again.
"Morons -If this country didn't have strong defense system, we'd be lucky to have any schools!"
With the fundies running amuck, we *are* lucky to have schools. For that matter, a strong defense system too, since goddiddit based technology never seems to work out right.
"Morons -If this country didn't have strong defense system, we'd be lucky to have any schools!"
Because a that strong defense system sure stopped those terrorists from flying jetliners into a couple of buildings!
Did you note how quickly many Christians supported war and violence? that is what the Jesus bombing sticker is. Well our schools are underfunded, and we are close to the bottom of the world in terms of education, so why not put some money in schools? Shit I advocate having a strong military but to put in as much as we do is why we have that bumper sticker.
[Morons -If this country didn't have strong defense system, we'd be lucky to have any schools! ]
Umm, no. We shouldn't be spending so much time building up our troops. Shure it's nice to have a good army in case we need them, but were not Spartans.
[Maybe I need to get a bunch of the "If idiots could fly this place would be an airport" bumper stickers, and put them over ones like those above when no one is looking! ]
I'd prefere to put them over those "in case of rapture" bumper stickers myself.
"liberal democrats"
In the real world, there are liberal Repubs, conservative Dems, and all different shades in between. But since understanding that everything isn't black or white is not encouraged at RR, Liberal or Democrat would work just fine, you don't have to say both, because we know in your mind both words mean "Baby-killing, god-hating, America-destroying commies." Hope that helps, bigot.
"Probably the dumbest one I've ever seen was: "It'll be a great day when schools have all the money they need and the Armed Forces have to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber.""
Idiots--if the educational system keeps short-changing our nation's children, we'll be lucky to have ANYONE who can build new bombers!
Aside: For many years, I worked as a civilian on a military base. The Air Force Enlisted Association used to sale Krispy Kremes every Friday to raise funds.
I used to joke to an former Air Force friend of mine (a liberal type himself) that the the schools must finally have all the money they needed, because the Air Force was holding a bake sale to buy a bomber.
His response, "You know what we used the money from the sales for? Keg parties."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
