Bumper stickers for idiots


One of the more sensitive issues in the south is that of same-sex marriage. Most are against it and the only reasons they give are based on their religious beliefs (brainwashing from the bible).

Last year, Georgia was one of many states to have a proposed Amendment to the state's constitution that would forbid marriages between persons of the same gender. The ballot measure passed in favor of the amendment by over 70 percent with heavy support from rural areas around the state. The so-called "christians", rednecks and other uneducated homophobic bigots came out in droves to vote on this issue.

They feel that if two men or two women choose to marry it would "threaten" their own marriages. Bullshit! You who are against same-sex marriages are simply using your political power to stick it to groups of people who you hate. You don't feel comfortable with their "lifestyle" and you are brainwashed by whatever words appear in YOUR version of the bible. Some of you are just plain ignorant.

But enough of my rant. The reason of this post was to expose one of these anti same-sex marriage idiots. The ones who choose to put bumper stickers on the back of their cars to show their bigotry. Like the driver of this car.




And the people who are most likely to have these bumper stickers are those who live in places like Taylor County Georgia. Notice I did not include the entire license plate or entire car.

To show you how far back in the dark ages these residents are, Taylor County is one of several counties in the South that STILL have segregated High School Proms. Now to be fair, the Teylor County School Board ended the separate White and Black high school proms a few years ago. As in late 1990's and early 2000's! And Blacks and Whites have attended classes together in Taylor County for many years before that, but officially ALL RACES can now attend the same Prom in Taylor County. (YEA!) This of course is assuming that many students will actually graduate from Taylor County High School. And even then most 5th graders from another area will be more advanced than a Taylor county graduate. FYI: Georgia often ranks near the bottom in school test scores.

Now, here's what happened. They had the new "diverse" High School Prom and ran into a few problems. Things like Blacks did not like Country and pop music and most of the whites (who have most of their teeth) did not like Rap and Hip-Hop music. So lets just say people did not get along well at the combined prom.

So what's their solution? The Black kids had "their" prom in nearby Fort Valley, home of predominantly Black Fort Valley State University, and the White kids arranged "their" prom at a private country club some 50 miles away in Columbus, Georgia. These were PRIVATE parties by invitation only, so they were not "official" high School Proms. Taylor County still has their own High School Prom, but the support for it is very weak.

So I should not be surprised to see a car with TAYLOR COUNTY GEORGIA license plates proudly sporting their "Marriage = MALE & FEMALE" bumper sticker, provided to them by their favorate religious organization....The 700 Club.

God forgive me, but I hope they get rear ended by a dump truck.
