JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Transportation Authority again lit the Acosta Bridge in rainbow colors Wednesday night after being told Tuesday by the Florida Department of Transportation that its color scheme was “out of compliance” with its existing permit. Emails obtained by the I-TEAM from FDOT officials show that within 12 hours of Jacksonville’s Acosta Bridge being lit up to celebrate Pride Month, state officials were calling for the rainbow colors to be turned off after complaints. Public records show an FDOT official in the agency’s Jacksonville Urban Office called and emailed JTA officials saying they’d received “several complaints regarding the color scheme on the Acosta Bridge.”

What the rainbow means: God keeps His word, including the part about not using water the next time He gets fed up with rampant sin in the world.


What the rainbow does not mean: the best sex is the kind that tears up your butthole.

After the Obama White House was it up like a Rainbow after the SCOTUS decided that Gay Marriage was a Constitutional Right, I found a picture online of the White House lit up like a Confederate Battle Flag.

I figured if Obama can piss off half the people by rubbing their Faces in it I could do the same.

I posted it on my Fakebook Page and a former Coworker of mine Unfriended me. She was an Obama lover, so I wasn't surprised. We had had some “interesting” back and forth comments in the past and agreed to disagree. Some of her Leftist friends chimed in and I eviscerated their stupid viewpoints. I assumed she Unfriended me because I hurt her friends feelings.

Found out later from another former coworker that she did so because she thought I was a Racist for putting that picture up. She obviously didn't get the irony even though I had captioned the picture referencing the obvious attack by the White House on those Americans who were not in agreement with the POTUS Decision.

Worked with her for fifteen years and thought we were friends but I guess she never encountered by hidden Racism.

When I was a lad growing up in Long Beach, there was a semi-circular pier going into and out of the ocean. It was called Rainbow Pier because it was lit up with colored lights. Beautiful drive on a warm evening with the lights reflecting off of the water. Long gone and gone long before the rainbow was appropriated by the homosexuals.

Just unfurl a sign from the bridge saying, “God’s great covenant with man.” That will fix it.
