Courage
There's an almost certainly apocryphal exam legend at Princeton (and probably other universities). The philosophy professor poses the question "What is courage?," and the only A+ grade goes to the student who writes simply "This is." on the inside of his blue book and hands it in.
Well, parking this car on the Princeton campus -- just outside of Murray-Dodge Hall not one hour ago -- might similarly qualify.
The opposition is out there.

That is courageous!
Sadly, I suspect it won't be very long before it is followed by an equivalently cowardly act of vandalism.

It's great that there's opposition out there, but I wish it were smart enough not to associate failure becoming the new success solely with Obama.

Racist and homophobic!! Brave to display those in an "intellectual" center!! Surprising the defenders of freedom of speech haven't torched or at a minimun keyed the vehicle. Thanks for sharing, I wouldn't have thought it possible. Maybe reality is beginning to sink into the enlightened areas of the USA.

Purchasing a Chrysler vehicle isn't courageous, so much as foolhardy.
That, or the owner enjoys automobile repair.

Are you sure that's not your own car? ;-)
Besides, opposition means "Let's zig instead of zag and see what happens." What's going on in those dumbass bumperstickers is derangement...

When I heard that same story -- back in high school -- it was in re: the baccalaureat (sp?) exam in France. There were two questions: (1) What is risk? and (2) What is gaul? The answer to both: "C'est ca."

You'd almost certainly need to courage (and a suit of armor) to display such sentiments here in Montgomery County, Maryland.
BTW: where can I buy one of those wonderful stickers....
