Noteworthy News Items: Maine, SEIU, Bob Casey
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.
