Conservative Ignorance on Parade in Mississippi

[BOSSHOG]

There is a constitutional amendment on this year's state ballot to, you guessed it, ban gay marriage. But state baptist ministers (ignorant fascists) are in a twitter because they are afraid their sheep (ignorant fascists) won't know how to vote - YES OR NO!

Mississippi Governor haley (ignorant fascist) barbour told the AP:

"Alot of people think its about homosexuality and I'm against it so they're going to say NO, I'm against same sex marriage. We've got to TEACH them to vote YES to ban same sex marriage.

haley, its very easy. Just tell your ignorant, racist, fascist white trash lemmings - IF YOU HATE HOMOS VOTE YES.

I will do what I can, one fascist voter at a time.

1. Yes, it's a very indignant thing to promote hate and discrimination

due to fear of different people. Black people forget.

2. Does this really surprise us?

My husband's nephew actually sold his house and moved from Slidell, LA across to Pearl River, Mississippi because a black family moved in next door to him. I also heard one of his cousins say that "if David Duke ran again, I'd vote for him."

4. I moved from Slidell to Pearl River County

but it had everything to do with real estate and nothing to do with race. I really enjoy living here for many reasons but the human element is low on the list. The trash on the roadsides is incredible, almost as bad as the trash in the trailors.

9. I really like Slidell and Lacombe.

Especially the Olde Town area of Slidell. My husband says that there has been lots of development there since his family moved there in the mid 1960s (White flight from New Orleans). It was much more rural then. The bayous and live oak forests are incredible. I only spend time with the in-laws when we visit so I've not been able to meet any progressives. Glad to know there a some fellow DUers there. We were just there in June. I had some incredible Oyster Po Boys from a little restaurant in Slidell. MMMMM!

3. Using the constitution as a weapon

is an incredibly dangerous precedent being attempted by incredibly dangerous people. What will they do when they are a member of the next group being targeted after the precedent has been set?

THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT A WEAPON
ITS A SHIELD

5. And, while they are at it, they can end their tax exempt status

Because, they are now trying to influence politics and elections.

6. That issue is on my things to do list

ITS AT THE TOP OF MY LIST. I'm looking forward to butting heads with the locals on this issue AFTER the election.

7. "Conservative Ignorance on Parade in Mississippi" -- what else is new?

Lived in the great state of MS for a little less than a year. Now I've been to some pretty backwards and ignorant places, but I've never been anywhere that was PROUD of its backwardness and ignorance like Mississippi was. They wear the scorn of the enlightened world like a badge of pride.

10. I heard once: There's nothing scarier than a redneck with balls.

Rednecks are the scariest people in the world. Our own backward terrorist of America. I'm more afraid of driving through Polk county Florida and breaking down than I would be going to the Middle East.

8. Bigotry is hard work

It's hard work knowin' who to hate when they don't have the good sense to have diff'rnt colored skin. Ya gotta watch out for subtle clues, and bigots don't really DO subtle, ya know?
