W04 sticker must mean Woe for (America)

[inteller]

I find most of the complete idiots who still wear their dumb black W stickers or "W - STILL the president" are some of the dumbest, whacked out fruit cakes you will find in ANY state, let alone Oklahoma.  These people, if you even look at them wrong will go off on you.  I truely think these people are buried so deep in zealotry for the president they are on constant attack mode.  It is really ****ing sad.

I also find most of these people drive Hummers or Dodge products and generally have a **** YOU attitude.  Like if given the chance they would shove a shotgun down your throat.  Scary people.

I think it call comes from a "brand worship" culture that has been successfully created by spin doctors and marketers.  It started with these people in high school when they had the Reebok vs Nike brnad wars, then you have Coke vs Pepsi, on up to Sooner vs Poke, etc etc up until you have W vs kerry.  This Brand Machine, has perpetuated the idea that no matter how miniscule the topic is (shoes, cola, etc) you must be so behind the product or you suck.  So we now have a society that gets as worked up over cola as president, and there is no noticible distinction of importance of one over the other.  People get just as dumb and stupid  (and blindly follow) the best chewing gum as they would the best plan for Medicare.  In fact, I think if you did a survey, people would honestly say the right chewing gum was more important.

I think you have a point, although I think you haven't quite covered it all. Look at all major sports (baseball, football, basketball, tennis, tiddlywinks) and they are all us vs them. We love conflict and we love rooting for something. Whether it be the victorious overlord or the underdog. The home team or the fan favorite.

I believe this can be healthy as a form of entertainment and a sense of belonging but if taken too seriously it can be a bad thing. I come from a family of conservative democrats who are steadfastly following the party waiting for it to wipe out gay marriage and abortion.

All things said, you better back up off my truck dog.
