I saw these a couple of times over the last few months on vail pass on I-70. Of course there wasn’t any work going on, not even any equipment or cones or anything, but there was a big sign stating that the work was being funded by the stimulus.

“They are like a giant middle-finger to American taxpayers”

Half of what he does is to rub our faces in it…..the Paris trip, the pizza chef, the $6,000 handbag, “I won”, passing the country-destoying legislation in 24 hours.

He is an angry angry little boy.

What this smacks of to me is the same as Soviet-style activity. In Victor Belenko’s book, “MiG Pilot” he refers to being on an airbase that was pretty spartan of greenery. A major dignitary was to be visiting and so the prolitariat assembled a workforce, went out to where the trees grew and uprooted not just a few..but a few hundred, to line the road leading in to the airbase.

The trees, when transplanted, all died. So, no matter, they did it again. And when they died, they painted them green.

This road signage is the same thing. “See? We’re actually doing something with all that money….can’t you see the sign? What’s the matter with you? The sign says it all…and by golly, that’s results!”

Uh-huh. More liberal jibber-jab. More hype. More push-push-push. But I will say this, even the most liberal of Americans, inundated with the truthful ads in today’s media market…who believe everything they are told on The View and by Catie Couric, even they….have a saturation point where it becomes all-too-tiresome.

If I had the money and time, I would love to tour the country and photograph these signs with the ripped up roads in the background…and publish them for all to see.

I think these signs serve a greater purpose. They are like a giant middle-finger to American taxpayers. He wants us to know who is in charge.

That’s the truth Vman and LD! I got my own stimulus package right here, and if they think they can regulate our demographic to the dung heap of obscurity by their onerous back door policies, hell, you all know they have another think coming!

Just last weekend my family went to Lancaster, PA for a mini-vacation. We passed by one of these signs (it was either PA 222 or I-76, can’t remember which).

Anyway, this so called project works consisted of paving of a shoulder for about a mile or two and you could see in the roads where pot holes were filled in with new patchwork asphalt. This is what constitutes fixing our infrastructure with tax payer money.

They really don’t want to mess with us. I know a lot of tough old white bastards over 50 and I’d like to count myself among them.

“When do we get around to singling out a race or ethnic group for extermination?” They already have!
White male conservatives over the age of 50!

A demographic that is being carefully and purposefully left out of anything from the Obama administration, simply put: Because they are too old to indoctrinate, and too young to liquidate.

So every new Messiah inspired program conveniently leaves that group out in the cold. And they havent begun in ernest yet.

Oh and one more thing. When do we get around to singling out a race or ethnic group for extermination?

So I guess that logo would be Obama’s swastika?

I’ve been on the interstates a lot lately, and these thing have been sprouting like mushrooms after a wet spell. They are much larger than 4′ X 5′, more like 8′ X 8′.

But regardless of what they cost originally, what do y’all think I can get for ‘em on e-bay?

Well, I’m going to get with the state, and insist they fix my eyes, and I will wear a sign eyeballs fixed by the stimulous package.

The sad part of this is that the signs are probably not .001% of the waste, fraud and stupidity in all the new spending. They just happen to be visible while most of the graft and corruption is under the table.

Well, here in SC, I’ll bet they’d have to post guards to protect the signs because “Bubba ain’t havin’ none o’ that”

Bilk, that really takes the cake. I have relatives in Colorado mountains. Wonder if any signs are in hunting areas.
The money could have gone to save someone’s eyesight.

“The use of federal stimulus road signs is not mandatory but has been encouraged, she said.” how so?

May I conclude that the bozo in the photo is the governor, Bill Ritter, and that he already has a job. Maybe uncovering the sign is putting him to work.
