RSSNoteworthy News Items: Maine, SEIU, Bob Casey
Gene Lalor | November 5, 2009
The great state of Maine made a collective decision on Tuesday to buck the trend of its New England neighbors and to effectively make an announcement to its resident and non-resident homosexuals.
The Pine Tree State announced that it doesn’t necessarily condemn their lifestyle but it emphatically rejects their agitation for state-approval of what Christians call Holy Matrimony.
The vote to overturn the state legislature’s bid to extend Maine’s imprimatur to gay marriage stood at 53-47% at last count adding Maine to the 30 other states which have voted against same-sex weddings.
By judicial fiat, in five New England states plus Iowa such marriages have been legalized.
That vote is only relatively newsworthy compared to the reactions of one prominent homosexual.
According to the Bangor, ME Daily News, Jesse Connolly ”pledged” after their defeat “In a defiant speech to several hundred lingering supporters, . . . that his side ‘will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.’ “ (http://bit.ly/3FgU4K)
For some reason, that threat was omitted in most other mainstream news reports.
Just why Connolly is so committed to learning the addresses of “these votes” is unclear but it sure smacks of an effort at intimidation against those who voted to oppose gay marriage.
Could Connolly and fellow gays be planning to attack their opponents with their purses and feather boas?
Next, and lest we disregard the dedication and vicious nature of Obama supporters such as the Service Employees International Union, SEIU, take a look at this reaction to a rara avis, that rare bird, a conservative African-American.
Kenneth Gladney had come to demonstrate his rights to free speech at Rep. Russ McClanahan’s town hall meeting by distributing free “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when he was attacked by SEIU thugs.
“Gladney said he was giving out the “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when someone walked up to him and asked, ‘Who in the (expletive) is selling this (expletive) here?’
“Gladney said he asked him if he wanted one of his flags, and the man (who was also black) asked Gladney, “What kind of n_____ are you to be giving out this kind of stuff?” (http://bit.ly/367DJ5)
One of those arrested in the unprovoked August assault on Gladney was Elston K. McCowan, Baptist minister, community organizer, former local SEIU director, and Green Party candidate for the mayoralty of St. Louis who had accused the mayor of racism: http://bit.ly/2fyUx4.
See the attack and the more civil protest which followed here: http://bit.ly/cwsDo.
As an old commercial went, “It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature.” A newer commercial might read, “It’s not smart to disagree with the Obamassiah,” and if you do you will be pummelled.
Gladney’s effort to exercise his First Amendment rights jibes very nicely with the thinking of the FCC’s Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd who said “that freedom of speech is an ‘exaggeration’ and that concerns about free speech serve only as a ‘distraction’ from policy debates:” http://bit.ly/h5aay
In other words, if you disagree with the administration, just keep your dumb mouth shut and go sit in a corner!
Not surprisingly, the Green Party contended it was McCowan who was attacked and that Gladney faked his injuries.
Don’t expect any Gladney coverage by the mass media, either, for some reason.
Very possibly related to the mindless assault on that conservative Black man is this report on neighboring East St. Louis which is 97.7% African-American and which rejected a highly-qualified White man as police chief.
According to 2 former members of the city board, Ronald Grimming was kicked under the racist bus not because of “the content of his character” but because of the color of his skin: http://bit.ly/nSZ3z
Finally, in an interview tantamount to spitting on his late father’s grave, Senator Bob Casey, Jr. (D. PA), who is allegedly pro-life like his father, equivocated on the issue of abortion funding in Obamacare.
His Democrat dad, Governor Bob Casey, an ardent defender of the pre-born, was denied the right to speak at Bill Clinton’s 1992 Democratic National Convention. Casey Junior, speaking out of at least 3 sides of his mouth, hemmed and hawed on abortion in Obamacare.
“He supports an amendment to the health care bill that would prohibit federal funds from paying for abortions through the bill, but he also said he is not drawing any ’lines in the sand’ on the issue.”
He went on to say, “he would not answer a ’hypothetical’ question about whether he would vote for the final version of the health care bill even if it permitted federal funding of abortion.”
He went on to say, “What I will do is . . . if there will be amendments to the bill, if necessary, I think it will be necessary that involve making sure public dollars don’t pay for abortion, and I’ll vote for those amendments. But I’ve tried on every issue not to draw lines in the sand.”
He went on to say, “I think it’s important to keep the process moving forward:” http://bit.ly/18GOqK.
Uh, huh. The only process moving forward is Obamacare with a taxpayer-funded abortion provision while Senator Casey diddles about sand lines and hypotheticals.
Unlike the threat against heterosexuals in Maine and the videos showing SEIU attacking Gladney, Casey’s remarks probably will be covered by the MSM. For some reason.
