It looks like the Missouri state patrol won't treat conservative bumper stickers as evidence of terroristic tendencies after all. Reports WorldNetDaily:
The chief of the Missouri highway patrol is blasting a report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center and promising immediate changes in the procedures through which it was released to law enforcement agencies.
The report linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism and cited as suspicious those individuals who may have bumper stickers for third-party political candidates such as Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.
It further warned law enforcement to watch out for individuals with "radical" ideologies based in Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.
Chief James Keathley of the Missouri State Patrol has issued a statement that the release of the report, which outraged conservatives countrywide, prompted him to "take a hard look" at the procedures through which the report was released by the MIAC.
Of course, the real surprise of this initiative was not that it existed, but that it arose first in Missouri rather than, oh, New York or California!

Guess there's just not that much difference between NY/CA and the other 48; even though you pretend there is.

Wasn't it Missouri where law enforcement officials were threatening to prosecute "false" attacks on The One before the election?

Yes, it was Missouri. This story reminded me of that. What's going on there?

Missouri MIAC Documents Scandal Leads to Advisory on SPLC & ADL
ALIPAC is issuing a national advisory to all local, state, and Federal law enforcement agencies and officers, along with all DHS Fusion Centers, a warning against any reliance upon faulty and politicized research issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Anti Defamation League (ADL).
A national scandal emerged in Missouri, after their MIAC Fusion Center issued an eight page document which made many false claims. The documents attempted to politicize police and cast suspicion on millions of Americans. The 'Missouri Documents', as they came to be called, listed over 32 characteristics police should watch for as signs or links to domestic terrorists, which could threaten police officers, court officials, and infrastructure targets.

The interesting point about the state's response is not to correct the racist anti-Americanism behind the policy and the people who wrote it, but instead to center their investigation on how the citizens were allowed to find out about it.

I would rather put a bumper sticker reading "I love America, and I'm proud to be an American". You can be sure no "liberal" does...

That is because it is not good to fight a strong conservative with a third party.
Perry only supported the tea party and got on the band wagon so he could "petend" conservatisn.
