Clinton pointing leftward, prosperity pointing rightward.
How fitting.
LOL!
How long will it be before I ever vote for John McCain???

Hillary should have asked her buddy back in the 70’s how Lenoid Brezhnev created prosperity in the old USSR. Where in the world has the communists have provided first world conditions? I wish Hillary and her ilk would answer.
Kind of says it all. Thanks for sharing!
the other side says,
Heaven
Hell in a Hand Basket
This sums up what you have said about Hillary:

garyt, remember, Clinton actually believes socialism works, but the right people haven’t tried it yet. She thinks she’s the right people.
Most of the idiots on the left must not realize there’s such a thing as history.
I know this sign. Been by there many times. Actually, Clinton (the town) is a very nice place and I own some property in Prosperity.
Saw Bubba the other day in a local restaurant. He was complaining about his veggie omelette because it came with green peppers.
Something tells me the Clinton’s will not carry either Clinton or Prosperity.
Or maybe they just can’t figure out their left from their right.
The Clintons and prosperity as far as the East is from the West. An infinite distance………..
It’s a funny sign, but face it, the Clinton years were the most prosperous since Kennedy.
Well it seems that the Clintons are very prosperous themselves…
Where is the fireman? anyone know?
HI Olympian, are you from Olympia,Wa? I am a fellow Washingtonian too. I wonder if Hillary and Bill will want to stand in line at all the socialist gov’t stores when their utopian communism takes place? Again her bud Lenoid Brezhnev and other leaders had special stores where they did not have to wait in line for hours for basic commodities even if they were available.
lgm, of course the Clinton yrs were prosperous… they had a big country to sell out.
Actually LGM the LBJ years were prosperous too and thanks to JFK’s tax cut and strong defense measures against the Warsaw Pact. LBJ and JFK did not believe in appeasement and were different from the McGovernite part of the party.
FDR, Truman, JFK and LBJ would be ridden out of the Dem party today … they were too conservative and anti-socialist for the Clinton Mafia …
How funny is this. Who says that there is no truth in reality?
When the Demos nominated George McGovern I decided that the Demo party had left me and I wanted no part of anything to do with appeasement. I would not be surprized that Hillary would give Alaska back to the Russians after all we bought way too cheap. Hawaii could be independent and the southwest be under Mexico City’s control. What we would have left would be under Islamic law.
lgm, looks like your getting to big for that bridge.

Yes, and it’s all because of Reagan.
Imagine if Reagan hadn’t cut that top rate of 70% down to 28%, which brought on the prosperous years that the Clintons thought they were responsible for.
Man, that sign is so fitting! Great find!
The Klintoon’s are so narcissistic they probably do think they were responsible for the 90’s boom…and lgm, bubba was sharp enough to know he best stay out of the way of that dreaded right wing conspiracy(republican congress)that was of course responsible for all the success of the ’90’s not bubba. Then the pubs caught that dreaded disease RINOism in the new century. I bet ya, the beast has no idea when to stop her socialist crap. If she’s elected, bend over and grab your wallet on the way.
I bet ya don’t kissed either, oh my! what a terrible thought, i just ate now i’m sick.
I love the way liberals get on here and try to re-write the Clinton wonder years. Can’t get away with it when you guys are on.
Oh, and let’s not forget Algore invented the Internet that launched the technology boom during the 90s too.
Yeah, right.
If the democrats control both houses of Congress and the Clintons run the White House, be prepared for “changes” they promise. It may take years for this country to recover, if it ever does. The dream of a free nation will have died under the guise of “for the children”, “for the poor”, “for the hard working Americans”, “for those who came across our borders wanting a better life”, and “for global warming.” We’ll become a nation of victims, entitlements, and handouts.
Great sign. I wonder how often the state has to replace it.
Re:
If we look at the eight years of the Clinton presidency, we see that the last six saw greater economic growth than the first two. The difference?
The Republican Congress of ‘94.
I believe Edwardsville and Obamaland are located further
westleft than the village of Clinton.That just made my day.
Fourteen years of experience summed up in two little words – love it!
Never question the presence of God
My bad for not catching it the first time, but…
Where were you during the 80s, Rip Van lgm?
This reminds me of a joke that was going around when Bill was president. It said residents of the town of Laurens were getting up a petition to change the name of the town to Hillary. That way, you would have to go through Hillary to get to Clinton.
Holy smokes! It’s a real place! (The “Hell” sign looks photo-shopped, though.)

Actually by route 76, it’s about 28 miles.
Only because your masters in the MSM told you so. Unemployment was higher during those years. Oh, don’t forget the great dotcom ponzi scheme falling down during his reign. So many 401ks worth so little.
I’ve seen the sign (used to live in Greenville, SC). Locals in SC generally pronounce it “Clinnon”–almost as one syllable. Wonder if it’s deliberate?
Clinton took credit for prosperity that had been set up before by Bush, Sr. (which cost him the election) and Reagan. JFK didn’t ride on the coattails of anyone. Remember he was the one with the “Ask not..” speech that would revolt the Democrats today. Also, he was the one, speaking at the Economics Club in N.Y., that called tax cuts, the “Paradox of Economics”. You cut taxes to increase government revenue. He is not exactly a hero of the new Democrats today…though they lie and say he is a hero.
For whom – the Clintons and China?
Its funny that Kennedy was not an appeaser to our enemies like the Mcgovernites that run the demo party now. Its funny too that JFK advocated a tax-cut as well as a strong defense. Would he be a GOP guy today?
The terrorists, the money launderers, and the influence peddlers didn’t fare too poorly during those heady days either.
I live just up the road from Clinton in Greenville. That road sign has to be the most photographed sign in history. We’ve been enjoying that one since 1992. And true, so true, it is.
A real sign from God.
There’s a Clinton, OK, too. Many people visit there to see the Oklahoma State Route 66 Museum.
garyt said ($40):
Did you know that he negotiated our way out of the Cuban missile crisis by agreeing to remove US missiles from Turkey? It was those missiles that caused the Russians to retaliate by putting missiles in Cuba.
If JFK could negotiate with an enemy, why not Bush?
lgm, negotiation works sometimes, and sometimes not. It depends on with whom you are negotiating. The Soviets may have wanted to destroy the U.S. but not at the expense of destroying themselves. The jihadis will negotiate only long enough to plan the next attack. And they are willing to destroy themselves to destroy us.
We had a similar problem with the Japanese in WW2. The kamikaze were willing to take their own lives for their country. Japan was defeated (and knew it) but refused to negotiate. When the atomic bombs hit, they knew the end was at hand and had to negotiate. So they surrendered.
Saying “Bush won’t negotiate” only shows how little you understand. We were negotiating with the North Vietnamese in 1967. We even agreed to a cease-fire for the Chinese New Year. This allowed North Vietnam to arm and infiltrate. The Tet Offensive started in early 1968 because we negotiated.
Don’t just assume you should always negotiate. And remember, negotiation is best done from a position of strength. Speak softy but carry a big stick. That is the most succinct statement about negotiation. Ever.
It was those missiles that caused the Russians to retaliate by putting missiles in Cuba.
“Retaliate?” The Soviets had hundreds of medium range missiles aimed at our NATO allies while GB and France had at most several dozen nukes to target Russia.
The imbalance was extreme and the deployment of Jupiters to Turkey was a direct response to the Soviet challenge.
The Jupiters were Kruschev’s excuse for deploying missiles to Cuba. The real reason he did was because he thought he could get away with it. He miscalculated, thinking Keenedy a weak sister based on his Vienna meeting.
He was right. But Kruschev didn’t realize that once those missiles in Cuba would have become known, Kennedy and the Democrats would be been in deep political trouble. The Republicans had been warning for months and making big political hay about an offensive build up by the Sovs in Cuba.
There is evidence Kennedy knew about the missiles in September when a Congressman who was privy to a briefing by a CIA officer about activity at the missile sites warned the President at that time that the Republicans would skewer the administration if the Sovs deployed nukes in Cuba.
Kennedy may in fact have been thinking of ignoring the missiles in favor of keeping them secret.
I have driven by this sign many many times. It always gives me a chuckle.
However:
As a native South Carolinian… I have never heard it pronounced in that manner.
