I have a fairly long commute, which gives me time to look at how people present themselves via their cars. While I won’t pretend my observations are remotely scientific, one thing definitely stands out: Liberals tend to be much more “vocal” by way of automobile adornments than (apparently) Conservatives.
Now, it’s clear that the lack of observable vehicular text doesn’t automatically suggest that those folks are of the Conservative, Communist, Socialist or any other persuasion. Still, the prevalence of Liberal-minded bumper stickers does suggest that people of that mind tend to be more likely to post their beliefs on their commuter-carriages.
My wife and I were driving home last weekend when we stopped behind a vehicle that was totally littered with Liberal stickers, trashing virtually anything that could be considered “traditional”, including religion, conservatism, etc. What really caught my attention were two in particular.
The first said “I think, therefore I’m Liberal“. The second one read “If you can’t trust a woman with a choice, how can you trust them with a baby?“.

I’m still trying to find the logic in the second one. It doesn’t make any sense, particularly in context of the point they were supposedly making. What made this more amusing to me was the first in conjunction with the second. This individual was making the case that they’re intelligent, simply because they’re Liberal yet the following bumper sticker made no real sense at all.
All those other stickers just enhanced my impression that this person was in fact, not remotely intelligent. I often find that those who make the loudest noise about something are the ones least to be trusted about that subject. Loudly proclaiming their intelligence just served to call it into question.
What a great impression that one made. If I were a “thinking” liberal, that’s not the kind of advertisement I’d want.
The difference probably boils down to 4 things.
1. One group, when owning a car, wants to take care of it and not gum it up with a bunch stupid stickers.
2. One group wishes to maintain a classier, more minimalist image and so doesn’t junk up their car with stickers.
3. One group eschews bumpersticker philosophy for something a little more meaty. (I said meaty… sorry, did I offend any vegetarians? So what. I don’t care.)
4. One group, when seeing the other groups bumper stickers rolls their eyes and shakes their head and chuckles. The other group, when seeing the first group’s rare bumper stickers is likely to key that person’s car.
if they were really thinking, they wouldn’t need the bumper sticker to announce it… one or two really “good” bumper stickers could actually speak for themselves… not the crud you described above…. like you said, that was the proof that they were not actually thinking (or thinking well) at all…
