But I’ve seen similar stickers in the past year.

Are they teaching their kid to maul other kids?


It means they are not raising a bunch of sensible losers that at the drop of a petal need to run and hide in a safe zone, and also letting the world know they are not concerned with their opinion.
Lions lead, sheep follow and sometimes as is visible everywhere, to their destruction.


Thanks for bumping this 🤡

Noooooo. Not mainstream Christian. Whatever it is, it’s part of what’s wrong with education. People prioritize other things besides obedience. But teaching a classroom full of kids who don’t feel the need to follow directions is exhausting.

It is a Penn State bumper sticker.

It’s a way to let the police know that they probably have a gun in the car.

We are so absolutely screwed as a civilization.


And, individuals committed to the distorted Trump-fanatical world believe themselves to be tough leaders. A glance at those leaders in his circle of sludge see that these lions are followers on a path that leads to loss of friends and loved ones, mob mentality, endless lawsuits, and possibly jail time!
Lead on fierce ones!!

They are correct if, indeed, they are raising lions. If, however, they are referring to children then it should be "rearing."

What does Trump have to do with this? Some of you are absolutely obsessive. It’s embarrassing.

As it happens I was the PP you’re responding to (not sure why/how this old thread got revived) and I’m dead set opposite of a Trumper. That doesn’t mean I don’t value things like courage, physical and mental strength, leadership. But keep equating liberalism with hysterical victimhood and grievance identity politics. That’s working real well.

Pretty sure strong, confident, ambitious people don't have a bunch of bumper stickers

It’s MAGA stupidity.


I think it can be both. MAGA crazies and Progressive Liberals who never tell their kids no.

Ummm has anyone not been paying attention the past three years? There were millions of sheep that just went along with everything the government told us about covid...turns out the lions were right.

Its a GOOD thing to teach kids to question the status quo and prevailing narratives....and have a healthy dose of distrust in the government.

These people overestimate themselves.

They aren't lions and won't be raising lions (really, bumper stickers to tell the world what you think )

Yeah, but I don’t agree that conservative folks are raising kids who are like this. In general I find conservatives to be cowards who are scared of everything and respond by lashing out. They’re ashamed of their cowardice and project it on to no -conservative folks.
