Liberal bumper stickers celebrate the values inherent in the founding of the United States of America: Liberty, equality and justice for all. Bumper sticker designs place boundaries around the expression of ideas, racing down the freeway at 65 miles per hour. Bumper stickers are short form poetry in which the essence of an ideal is expressed in a split second. The best liberal bumper stickers are showcased and discussed at this 'zine, with the goal of sparking a renaissance of liberal culture in the USA.

But then again, anti-gays don't want us to stick anything in the rear

First it was the newly installed, more truthful Prop. 8 wording that set them off. Now the anti-gay side is railing against -- bumper stickers?!

This from One News Now:

Now an unidentified supporter of same-sex marriage has printed bumper stickers that inaccurately encourage people to "Preserve Marriage: Vote NO on Prop. 8."

But a "no" vote on Proposition 8 would not preserve marriage; it would, in fact, allow the redefinition of real marriage to include counterfeit unions between homosexual couples. Attorney Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, represents supporters of the marriage protection amendment.

"This is outrageous deception. It is despicable," says Dacus, "and it just shows how unethical and immoral the opposition is to Proposition 8. This is a desperate tactic that is attempting to confuse the voters."
...
"It's one thing for the opposition to make their case with commercials persuading people to be against it [Prop. 8] because they favor homosexual marriage and those kinds of things," says the attorney. "But it's another thing to be outright deceptive -- and this is the epitome of political deceptive practices that have no business in any campaign."

200808121254Alright, first off: The bumper sticker that's raising their ire is not an official item. It's not the product of a Prop. 8 group. It is a sticker that a random person has created on Zazzle.com, one of those online retailers where everyday people can create whatever they want (within reason). That is what these folks are now railing against -- an everyday citizen's personal art product!

But looking past the sheer silliness of the organized "pro-family" folks war on independent arts & crafts: Where do they get off saying that this sticker is deceptive?! For gay and lesbian couples, voting no on Prop. 8 WOULD realistically preserve our right to marry! Trust me, this is something I know all too well, as I have a California wedding already planned for 4/25/09, with venues and vendors either booked or penciled in. Should this nasty nonsense pass in November, all of my planning will be for naught and my nuptials will be moved to Massachusetts. And why? Because California voters will have not preserved the marriage equality that is currently in place, but will instead have stripped away the bright new day that was in their midst!

If Brad Dacus, he of the reliably ridiculous sound bite, wants to truly talk about things that are "deceptive," "despicable," "unethical," "immoral," "desperate," and "confusing," then perhaps he should look to the side that masks their bias under the "pro-family" veil, refers to discrimination as "preservation," and does things like try to make one's personal online creation look like an official pro-gay sticker. Actions speak louder than hyperbolic words.

'Deceptive' tactics continue to undermine Prop. 8 [ONN]

Go ahead, AFA: Lash out against the Zazzle user who's misleading the public into believing that Donuts and Bacon are running for POTUS!
