2. Well Those Colors Don't Want To Join The Military Either
ask the recruiters! Why the fuck WOULD they want to fight the GWB bogus corporate interest war?

So yeah, that's stupid.

3. Nope. They just fade away.
I saw a sticker with that slogan on it on a car that had lost most of the tone of the reds from being in the sun too long. Brilliant.

4. Uhhh, YES

Neighbor down the street had that on his van. I noticed ony day it wasn't there anymore. Don't know why. Guess he decided he might run after all.

5. It's easy to slap a bumper sticker on your car
and call yourself a patriot. I despise morons like this.

6. I Always Have
Because historically it's a lie, the colors have run. From the War for Independence, the War of 1812, the Civil War, WWII, the Korean
War, and the War in Vietnam.

Even in some battles during the Indian Wars, did the colors run in retreat.

It's a lie and we all know how the Repukes love revisionist history,
and lying.

7. It was funny in Big Trouble in Little China!
Wang Chi: Here's to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here's to America's colors, the colors that never run.
Jack Burton: May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.

8. If Red, White and Blue don't run, why is all my underwear purple now?
I put a flag in with my whites, and guess what!

Those colors ran!

:hippie:

11. "Don't run" and "start shit for no good reason" are two different things
Edited on Wed Jun-22-05 04:25 PM by Strawman
If you oppose military undertaken for no good reason (eg Iraq) that doesn't mean that you also favor "running" from "necessary" military conflict (eg WWII).

"Support bullying like me or be ostracized" is the real message of this kind of bumper sticker.
