Those people with the "Honk to impeach Obama" on the I-25 overpass south of Denver made my day, right when the traffic is pissing me off too. I don't think I've ever honked that much in my entire driving life.
Who else saw them?
They were on harmony overpass this morning.
They were on the overpass coming down from 120th on I25. Semi's blaring their air horns, cars honking. What I didn't get is there was a LEO standing a short distance from them with a clipboard, looks like he was writing down something as people were honking? Not sure what that was all about.
Would you say a lot of people were honking? Or just a bunch of pissed of prius drivers?
Remember to only honk once. We don't want to be accused of voter fraud.
I think a good number of trucks were honking, including a 18 wheeler who drowned everyone else's honk.Quote:

They run it once or twice a week and make bank. Today it was great, they had to reposition north to 120th as traffic going northbound was soooo slow due to the honk to impeach Obama. They still tag a good number of people who kick it up to 75 north of 120th after the curve.Quote:

HONK!
Why don't we know who this group is?
Out in the garage having a cigar and read the title......
The wife is pissed and so are the dogs and I'm pretty sure I'm sleeping in the lazyboy tonight.

Today is the second time I've seen them over the last month or so....made my day both times :)

All I saw as I slowly crawled literally underneath him looking down was a clipboard and a pen? Trucks were honking behind me and he was looking at them traffic was horrible this morning and I dont normal drive on the highway but this week is special, Broomfield to County Line Road yuckin sucks big shite.Quote:

This is what she said:

Driving home on the highway today and traffic came to a sreaching hault. Bunch of people on the bridge over the highway were holding up signs that read "honk to impeach Obama" "honk for your 2nd am. " "end the tyranny. " Well... seeing how this is for gun control and all maybe they shouldn't have had a sign with the exact thing (except in Latin) John Wilks Booth screamed on stage after he SHOT Abraham Lincoln in the head.
For those that don't know, she's talking about "Sic semper tyrannis" or "Thus always to tyrants." I had to educate her that the first to be historically quoted as saying it was Brutus after he assassinated Caesar. But in the context these fine folks were using it was more akin to George Mason who suggested it be the Commonwealth of Virginia's motto after America defeated the tyranny of the British. Some people love to take one person's perversion of an idea and call the idea evil. [facepalm]
John Wilks Booth was a Democrat. How's that?Quote:

I drove by the 120th over pass. I honked and there were a few people who did. I wouldn't say a lot though.Quote:

I'm sure Team Obama thinks of those folks as "honkies"...
I need to fix my horn just in case...wouldn't wanna look like an Obama lover by my silence.
I'm vacationing in Michigan right now and last saturday I saw about 50 people waving Gadsden flags and American flags at a busy intersection with honk to impeach Obama signs. It gave me warm fuzzies. [Flower]
