Bumper sticker logic

I was driving along the other day, minding my own business, when I saw this car with an incredibly clever bumper sticker. It said, "Endless war." But the clever part comes when the clever bumper sticker dude had a red line going through the “less” part of endless and inserted the word “this” over the strike through. So now you have, End This War. Clever huh?


Along with that clever piece of work, there were a couple of Obama stickers. As I drove past, I noticed an elderly couple driving. I wanted to roll down the window and shout, “Which war?” But traveling a 70 mph, I didn’t think I could get my point across, so I drove on imagining the conversation.

Lex: Which War?

Oldies: Bush’s war. Bush started a war, so Bush is a creep.

Lex: Bush’s war? Does Bush go to war, or does America go to war?

Oldies: It’s Bush’s war. He lied. Kids died.

Lex: I see. What about P-BO’s war. I’ll bet you guys are really pissed about that one.

Oldies: No. We think P-BO is the best president ever.

Lex: Yes but he stated a war. Bush started a war and he’s a creep. P-BO started a war in Libya. So, isn’t he a creep as well?

Oldies: No. Bush started a war for oil.

Lex: Well doesn’t Libya produce a lot of oil?

Oldies: Yes. But P-BO got the UN to go along with our war in Libya.

Lex: Didn’t the UN pass about 25 sanctions against Iraq.

Oldies: Yes but Bush is a creep. P-BO has built a coaltition.

Lex: Didn’t Bush build a much larger coalition in Iraq than P-BO has for Libya. And didn’t Bush get congressional approval before beginning operations in Iraq?

Oldies: Yes. But Bush is a creep. P-BO is the greatest president and human being ever.

Lex: But you are OK with the Afghan war, because P-BO said that we should get out of Iraq and win the “good war” in Afghanistan. Besides, P-BO has sent additional troop into Afghanistan. Right?

Oldies: No. Bush started the Afghan war too. He’s a creep. P-BO was handed a bigger mess than he knew in Afghanistan, so he had to send in more troops because Bush is a creep.

Lex: So a war in oil rich Libya is OK because P-BO started it, even though he has a smaller coalition and no approval of the congress.

Oldies: Yes. The UN is more important than our congress where the House of Representatives is dominated by right wing Tea Partiers.

Lex: Did you know that P-BO has more support in house for his Libyan operation from Republicans than from Demo-Dopes?

Oldies: No. It doesn’t matter. Bush is a creep. P-BO is the greatest man ever. Have you noticed that the seas have begun to recede and he has created an extra hour of daylight for everyone?

Lex: Well no. The seas have not receded. Ask the Japanese. And the “extra hour” of daylight is due to daylight savings time. Remember when you had move your clocks ahead an hour?

Oldies: The Japanese were put under water because of their reliance on nuclear energy. P-BO was punishing them, and you’re trying trick us with this clock business. All we know is that it used to get dark at about 6pm. Now, because of Obama, it doesn’t get dark until 7.

How do you argue with logic like that?
