Its funny that the people that would hate this bumper-sticker the most probably have a tax rate of say 23% then weasel their way down to 10 or 12 percent and still whine about it.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

^Yeah... that would be nice.  Too bad it'll never happen as long as the two religions are so at each-other's throats.  Not to mention the land disputes.

That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

What is intersectionality? and why is it not optional?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

tl;dr

When you acknowledge how sexism, racism, heterosexism, transmisogyny, ablism, and classism intersect each other. It's not optional because all these forms of oppression overlap each other and to only focus on sexism without taking to account how sexism plays into racism erases people's experiences. One of the real criticism of mainstream feminism is that it caters to cis straight able-bodied middle class white women while ignoring disabled women, very poor women, queer women, women of color, and transwomen. For these reason, intersectional feminism came into being to address all these issue.

I don't like this, because a church shouldn't be getting involved in politics, even if it's for our side.

I don't even know why the churches are non-profit. They're involved regularly in politics now, and it doesn't help when politicians won't shut the fuck up about God, gawd, Angry Sky-Daddy, whatever.

You want a voice in politics? Pay some fucking taxes.

True.  Honestly that church and some of these mega churches seem to forget that your tax exempt status cant involve directly telling people how to vote

Perhaps they want to lose their tax exempt status?

That would involve the government actually auditing them...never happen
