Conservative Political Bumper Stickers

Brandon Said:

Why are liberals more likely to physically attack conservatives or their property?

We Answered:

That is because they are Liberal and believe that they should be allowed to behave as lawless, classless, give me my handout, I shouldn't have to work for it, you owe me, when I don't agree with you I can have blood on my hands as I kill my babies, but conservatives are murderers for going to war HYPOCRITES. It's what the liberals do. They're just HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!

Amber Said:

Why is President Obama taking the flak from the right over this oil spill?

We Answered:

There was a backup plan the government never used.

Why was the BP emergency blowout plan lifted and given an exclusion 10 days before this happenned?

This whole thing needs to be investigated. It's more than just strange that right after offshore drilling was approved this happened. Too many on the left are happy about this.

There are other issues.
BP did donate allot of money to obama's campaign.


Safety responsibility shifted to companies The Canwest News Service also notes, “In a recent investigation, the Wall Street Journal found that the U.S. (Department of the Interior’s) Minerals Management Service (MMS), which regulates offshore drilling south of the border, has been gradually shifting safety responsibility to the oil industry.”

Documents show that no blowout plan was required for BP’s sunken Gulf rig because of relaxed federal regulations in 2009.

A Washington Post investigation concluded that in April 2009 the MMS granted BP a "categorical exclusion" from requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act to file papers on what it would do in the event of a blow-out at the new well. It reported that BP had lobbied for the exclusion just 11 days prior. Moreover in its own assessments, the MMS concluded that a blow-out at a deepwater well in the Gulf would be unlikely to generate spills bad enough for oil to threaten coastal ecosystems.

In 2008, the Interior Department took disciplinary action against eight MMS employees who accepted lavish gifts, partied and — in some cases — had sex with employees from the energy companies they regulated. An investigation cited a "culture of substance abuse and promiscuity" involving employees in the agency's Denver office. Bush put forth 17 warnings in 2008 and the Democrats sat and fiddled.

If U.S. officials had followed up on a 1994 response plan for a major Gulf oil spill, it is possible that the spill could have been kept under control and far from land.

The problem: The federal government did not have a single fire boom on hand.
A single fire boom being towed by two boats can burn up to 1,800 barrels of oil an hour, Bohleber said. That translates to 75,000 gallons an hour, raising the possibility that the spill could have been contained at the accident scene 100 miles from shore. "They said this was the tool of last resort. No, this is absolutely the asset of first use. Get in there and start burning oil before the spill gets out of hand," Bohleber said. "If they had six or seven of these systems in place when this happened and got out there and started burning, it would have significantly lessened the amount of oil that got loose."


it could have been contained to the point of not reaching land and that was offered May 8th, 2010. Stockholm were prepared to offer up to three skimming vessels able to collect about 50 tons of oil per hour from the sea and hold about 1,000 tons at a time. But for the record, the current message to foreign governments is: Thanks but no thanks, we’ve got it covered. WE DO NOT HAVE IT COVERED.

Sweden offers to help the US to clean up oil spill

"These offers include experts in various aspects of oil spill impacts, research and technical expertise, booms, chemical oil dispersants, oil pumps, skimmers, and wildlife treatment," the State Department said in a statement.

Published: May 8, 2010
Michael Mohr, Sweden’s homeland security liaison at the embassy in Washington, said Saturday that officials in Stockholm were prepared to offer up to three skimming vessels able to collect about 50 tons of oil per hour from the sea and hold about 1,000 tons at a time. The ships could take several weeks to arrive from the Scandinavian peninsula, Mr. Mohr said. “We’re on standby,” he said. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/09/us/09r…

The administration has been relentless in its messaging that it is doing everything possible to aggressively respond to the oil spill.

Glenn Said:

Would you recommend this to a conservative?

We Answered:

"He said it's a lot harder being conservative than it is to be gay," Stein told FOXNews.com. "His friends all turned on him."


hahahahaha

when we ban conservatives from getting married then ill understand this statement. better yet, next time a conservative wants to apply to adopt i hope he lets the agency know that that hes into other 'conservatives.

Joanne Said:

My grandma has a bumper sticker that says " god bless John Wayne" who is he?

We Answered:

It saddens me that an American citizen does not know who John Wayne is.

What upsets me more, is that you could not google him but yet you could go to Y!A to ask a question about him. Children of the digital age are getting lazier by the second!

Warren Said:

Isn't it kinda weird how lib kids grew up vs. conservative kids? The ted kennedy deal is a good example, yes?

We Answered:

Their sad excuse is that he "gave 50 stellar years of public service" and that "outweighs him being a murderer." Pretty pathetic huh?

Discuss It!
