Everyone used to leave Ohio for Florida, I'm glad I'm in Ohio!!!

If they start pasting his face on our roads, I'm drinking!!!!!

I wonder what ol Jeb thinks when he passes those signs...............????????

Grady.. you kill me!!!!

It was Photoshopped, that clown never smiles, he just smirks when he lies like he did in Chile last weekend.

I support CCs' right to put up the sign, but WTF were they thinking. Like someone said, when you travel around a country and see signs like the worshiping of their leader, thats a dictatorship.

Just for the rightwingers, Read the (Left Behind Series) this worshing a false god is covered real well.
I'm sorry I bought the books now that I know the authors contributed to the rightwing machine.

What I want to know, is who the hell needs to be reminded of who their president is? That's the message I'm getting from the billboard. What else does it have to say? If it isn't worship, then do American's really have to be reminded of who their president is? This is America we are talking about...

Are there people in the US who, if asked who their president is, don't know??

Cargo perhaps we should put up aome billboards with the Secretary of Agriculture on them. Nobody knows who that is The US can use a reminder ON whos looking out for our food and farm issues

Have you ever listened to Sean Hannity's On the Street? This is a segment where he has an intern ask random people political questions, such as who were the presiential candidates, who is the VP, etc.

You would be surprised, if not dismayed, at the number of people, mostly young, who know absolutely nothing about politics. Pathetic, really.

Sometimes I am impressed here on ATS at the political knowledge of those from foreign countries that post here. In comparison, the US populace sometimes ranks near the awarenesss level of a thirld world country.

Well the same can be said of anywhere I guess. Honestly, the President of America appears to have the same level of reverence in the US as the Queen of England does in the UK. I'm serious. The way I see it from the outside, the presidency is so sanctimonious that most people appear as affected in his presence as a teen does in Michael Jackson's.

I can understand a lot of people not caring about politics, but not knowing who the president is boggles the mind somewhat.

Ya know, if Bush was a really really great Prez and everything and everyone just loved him and everything, the signs wouldn't be nearly as bad, especially if private citizens voluntarily paid to have them put up.

But nearly half the voters did NOT want Bush in (I voted for Peroutka), and in light of alleged voter fraud, the signs are a bit disturbing. Yeah, it's freedom of speech, but you also have to look at the circumstances and the political/social climate.

I think we have limited freedom of speech. And it probably won't be too long before they start cracking down on these message boards. It'll probably take a little time though--that's my gut feeling.

Polar Bear, I think your above post is worthy of it's own thread on the WOT forum (it concerns Iraq, the new admin etc). I heard about this monopolisation regarding seeds and GM a while back. It's disgraceful.

I think you should start a thread about it.

There is already at least one thread discussing this issue here on ATS. Use the search function; I'm too lazy.

Wha I've started seeing as of late is a round black stickers on vehicles around Alabame. Theres one big W then in a small font "Our President". What next, worshipping The Holy W. This is sick and starting to look more and more like Facism.

That is rather freaky.

Hey, I'd love it if someone could print up bumper stickers that say I SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION.

And maybe along with that, a big W with a red circle and a line through it....

On a side but quasi related note,

Before the election, i was constantly "infringed" upon by the endless number of "kerry/edwards" bumper stickers i has to tolorate in my view....

Now, it seems people couldnt scrape them off fast enough....LOL

PS, there is STILL a kerry/edwards small yard style sign along I-76 near philly...what now a MONTH or more after the election....i thought by law the campaigns had to clean up their stuff after the election....now im constantly reminded of the "not our leaders" everytime i drive home....LOL

Something bothers me about the Bush sign- why isn't it in red?

The Republicans are reds, right?

I know I saw that on television.
