"Frodo failed. Bush has the Ring."
Bumpersticker seen tonight on a car in the parking log of the Rapid City branch of Oglala Lakota College, where I'm currently taking a Lakota Culture class. That's the first time I've seen that, thought I'd share it here. Whaddaya think?

6. I got good feedback, too, before I removed it. :)
I just decided to play it safe for awhile. It's safe on the fridge.

5. I have that one. I backed it with a magnet so I could easily
remove it from my car. Since neck surgery, I don't want to be a target in this red county. :scared: It's on my refrigerator now.

I found it at http://www.stampandshout.com

10. Thanks, Ladyhawk!
I just went there and ordered it! That's the first time I ever found a bumper stick I was willing to buy and put on my car. Humorous, but probably beyond the understanding of the bush fookers. = )

I don't think I'll have too many problems with it being on my car. And my mom isn't around to worry every single day if I should have it on the car or not, lol.

22. I have that one!
I love it, it has been on my truck for several years and everyone comments on it. The best thing is when I see someone behind me squinting at the back of my truck suddenly crack up and poke the person in the seat next to him.

25. ...............
Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."

Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work, Frodo, than the will of evil."

Legolas: "The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead and the dead keep it! The way is shut." Appropriate for the Bush administration somehow? :rofl:

34. "Long ago, the politicians of the Democratic Party swore an oath..."
...to the last real President of the US... to come to the aid of Democracy and the Constitution.

But when the time came... when America's need was dire... They fled, vanishing into the shadows of the halls of Congress.

So the Spirit of JFK Cursed them! Never to be re-elected... until they had fulfilled their pledge.

39. Ooh, and look & download (for efficient access...so as to cut to :40:00)
Edited on Fri Feb-03-06 07:00 AM by tiptoe
...where an intro to an investigation of "Pappy" George Herbert Walker Bush begins...

JFK II: the Bush Connection (for research purposes, download it for option to skip to :40:00 and an intro to an investigation of George Herbert Walker Bush, father of the currently-"elected" President and son of Prescott Bush, who is linked to ties with Nazis by J Edgar Hoover in the late '40s):

:40:00 "Who Killed JFK?" segment begins ("Easier to answer than you might think...")
Richard Helms writes article placing known CIA assassin in Dallas...E Howard Hunt
:41:00 Operation 40 -- Ms. Marita Lorenz, anti-Castro operative in Cuba
Frank Sturges -- "You should have been there...We made history...We killed the President"
E Howard Hunt
John Connally
Nixon can't remember what he was doing on day of assassination: 1964 version 1973 version
Nixon as President shocked political observers by bringing in Texas democrat John Connally for Sec Treasury
Jack Ruby (who shot Oswald) worked for Cngressman Nixon in 1947
:47:00 The small-time devils and the "really Big Devils"
:48:19 Hoover knew the Nazi connections of all these people..."J Edgar Hoover knew that Prescott Bush was a Nazi...knew the Bushes were Nazis".
:48:50 Prescott Bush and J Edgar Hoover ...Background segment on Bush connection with Nazis
:49:52 "So the Bushes run around in a tight circle that includes other Nazis and Kennedy killers...a truly evil circle of friends. Of course, this doesn't prove the Bushes killed JFK, but it should provoke some investigatioon our part. So let's do some investigating..."


..and then consider the recent AOLnews photo and poll (and numerous other commercial videos of former Presidents Clinton and Bush that millions around the world observed on TV during the Asian Tsunami disasters relief efforts last year):

"What do you think of the friendship between former Presidents Bush and Clinton?"

...opinions given in ignorance, no doubt, of the "Pappy Bush" portrayed in JFK II: The Bush Connection ...less a poll than a marketing effort advertising/promoting "Bush associated with a worldwide popular Bill Clinton" (i.e. marketing "Bush" via exploitation-by-association with "Clinton"...intentionally testing-for-ignoring an "oh-so-long-ago/gloss-overable" past).

(And, from recent news, just as an aside re the other exemplary grandson of Prescott Bush: Jeb shredding state records?)

The behavior of "fairly elected" "President" George W Bush -- his disdain for the Constitution, unwarranted wiretapping, lying to Congress about WMDs for starting an unjustifiable mass-murderous war (as evidenced per the Downing Street Memos), exposure of CIA personnel, spitting upon Democracy thru Election Fraud in 2000 and 2004 -- is understandable in the context of a family background portrayed in the video JFK II (...presuming the documentary's claims about the assassination of beloved President John F. Kennedy are credible/persuasive, of course.)

31. "Sooo... Baghdad. Very lovely place. Where are we off to next, Gandalf?"
Edited on Fri Feb-03-06 01:19 AM by Leopolds Ghost
"Oh, It's too late for THAT, Peregrin Bush. There's no leaving this city. Help must come... to us. (mutter) Peregrin Bush...Commander in Chief!?"

On Edit:

"I'm sure this is just a... ceremonial position. They don't expect me to do any actual... heh heh... fighting. Do they?"

Or, Conan the Barbarian:

"The voters of Bush! Bush's voters! THEY told my master the way to the Mountain of Power. THEY told my master to lay down his candidacy and return to Massachusetts.

HA! Time enough for Massachusetts in the grave!"

"Mr. Alito! What is your judicial philosophy?"

"Crush... your enemies! See dem driven befoah you... and hear de lamentations of der women!"
