GOP
Rep. Sue Kelly won't leave office until January, but she may have ended
her political career Sept. 30, 2004. That was the day she voted for a
constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage - and caught the attention
of a Westchester County constituent, Adam Rose. The openly gay real
estate developer son of a legendary builder, Rose, 47, would ultimately
sink half a million dollars - an extraordinary amount even by the
standards of cash-rich American politics - into defeating Kelly.
"I woke up one day and discovered that my member of Congress had
voted to prevent me and my partner from marrying each other," Rose said
last week. "I became incensed.
"
He resolved to do "anything I could do to take her out.
"
Kelly, who represents the city's northernmost suburbs, lost last Tuesday to Democrat John Hall by a slim 2% margin.
Her loss came as a surprise even to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which had largely ignored Hall's bid.
Hall ran an energetic, grass-roots-driven campaign, and he benefited from a Democratic wave. But everyone from MoveOn.org
to Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert has claimed credit for helping the
musician - best known for the 1970s pop hits "Still the One" and "Dance
with Me" - to victory.
Hall also benefited, however, from the continuing power that a
single, wealthy individual with nothing at stake beyond his personal
beliefs wields in American elections. Rose's money produced a series of
harsh television and radio attacks in the final weeks of the race.
No one in the district, however, made the connection between the
marriage vote and the massive campaign against Kelly, run through an
independent group called Majority Action, which hit her for taking
contributions from oil companies. The group also linked her to the
scandal over former Florida GOP Rep. Mark Foley's relationship with
teenage pages.
"They were basically calling her a coddler of pedophiles," her
campaign consultant, Jay Townsend, said bitterly. "It was legal, but it
was filthy politics, and nobody up there knew where it was coming from
or what the purpose behind it was.
"
According to filings with the IRS, Rose effectively underwrote
Majority Action's campaign against Kelly, giving a $500,000 check to the
group Sept. 29, and persuading friends and relatives to contribute tens
of thousands more.
He spent in a few weeks half of what Hall spent for his entire
campaign. He was Majority Action's largest individual donor, and
Majority Action spent more in Kelly's district than in any other,
according to the group's executive director, Mark Longabaugh.
Before Rose went on the attack, he invited Kelly to the home in
Lewisboro he has shared with his partner since 1994. She came alone on
Feb. 4, and glanced at the 47-acre property, complete with outbuildings
and domestic staff.
She told him she had backed the amendment to ban same gender "marriage" in part because of the
scruples of her Orthodox Jewish constituents in the enclave of Kiryas
Joel. She pledged to win back his support by pushing for other
gay-friendly issues - in particular an end to the military's "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell" policy
I somehow doubt she would have supported that Kelly would have supported that if Satmar was strong on following the Torah. Rose contributed what he could to Hall, and helped him raise more
money. And then, in September, he called Majority Action.
"I'm this guy in New York you've never heard of and I want to do
anything I can to beat Sue Kelly," he recalled saying. "I'm sending you
$500,000. I need your address.
"
On Election Night, he swung by the victory party of Hall, who
supports same-sex marriage. Then he drove home and watched the returns
on television, elated as Kelly's loss became clear. (The defeat came,
ironically, in part from Rose's money and also in part from the decision
of Kiryas Joel to back the Democrat Hall.)
"I was really happy, because I felt that the American system really
works," Rose said.
since majority of all people in the district besides satmar were for Kelly Satmar violated Hisgaros B’umos

Why No Jew Should Vote For Joe Lhota, vote For Erick Salgado On The School Choice Line
If You Vote For Joe Lhota You telling the world that you don't care about same gender "marriage", abortion on demand, drugs etc. Future candidates will take note and ignore these issues in the future (and future social issues) . We need to send a message nationally that it doesn't pay to be a Socially Liberal Republican. If you want to make a Kiddush Hashem, not make a Chillul Hashem, be a or lagoyim and a part of mamleches kohanim vegoy kadosh vote for Erick Salgado (the ONLY mayor candidate who believes in morality) On The School Choice Line!
If done by enough people it could have national implication and help stem the tide of Republicans becoming liberal Democrats when it comes to morality!
Why No Jew Should Vote For Chris Christie!
Currently, there is a grave issue in this
country with Republican politicians caving in on same gender "marriage"
and other devastating homosexual bills.
In fact the Washington Post Recently Wrote An Article Titled "Gay rights supporters wage a quiet campaign to push Republicans to the middle. Furthermore they wrote
If you vote for Christie after he finalized the same gender "marriage", you will in essence be telling Republicans around the country you don't care about moral issues and that will lead to more Republicans caving in to the homosexual lobby. If you don't vote for Christie, but write in a vote in mass "no gay marriage" and Christie loses a lot of support because of that, Republicans around the country will be less likely to cave in to the homosexual lobby.
There
are currently 3 Republican Senators in favor of same gender "marriage",
including 2 in states where there is a large Orthodox population (Rob Portman- Ohio, Mark Kirk- Illinois, Lisa Murkowski-Alaska). Last year
there were none. All these senators ran on a morality platform and have
betrayed their constituents. Politicians do this because they know you
are going to vote for them anyways. The only way to prevent them from
voting like socially liberal democrats is if you don't vote for them.
Recently,
John McCain wrote an article condemning Russia's laws prohibiting the
homosexual propaganda (teaching in schools about homosexuality, banning
parades, etc).
- They write laws to codify bigotry against people whose sexual orientation they condemn. (John McCain)
Most prominently, former president, George W. Bush, was a witness in a same gender "marriage".
In fact the Washington Post Recently Wrote An Article Titled "Gay rights supporters wage a quiet campaign to push Republicans to the middle. Furthermore they wrote
- "But by proactively retracting his appeal, Christie gave voters in his blue state another reason to pull the lever for him in next month’s election. Dropping the appeal did something else. It was an exhibition of the kind of leadership more national aspirants in the GOP would do well to emulate. Denying those couples the rights and responsibilities that come with civil marriage, denying anyone the full benefits of the American Dream, is not a winning strategy." (Washington Post)
If you vote for Christie after he finalized the same gender "marriage", you will in essence be telling Republicans around the country you don't care about moral issues and that will lead to more Republicans caving in to the homosexual lobby. If you don't vote for Christie, but write in a vote in mass "no gay marriage" and Christie loses a lot of support because of that, Republicans around the country will be less likely to cave in to the homosexual lobby.

Aroni Satmar's Moshe Indig Donated $1000 To David Weprin After Rabbanim Says It Was Asur
Indig Donation |
This donation was a few days after the Psak Halacha against donating money to Weprin was widely released!
- It is therefore Assur [forbidden according to Torah law] to vote for, campaign for, publicly honor, fund, or otherwise support the campaign of NY Assembylman David Weprin, now running to succeed Anthony Weiner in the 9th Congressional district.
So why should we listen to Moshe Indig regarding Casinos!
Aroni Satmar "Logic" Voting Against Harmful And Immoral Legislation Is Assur, Voting Against Moral Candidate Who Risked Their Careers For Us Is Good

Op-Ed: We Are Not Fighting the Gaming Initiative Nor Should We
Yesterday 7:37 PM
by "Rabbi" to see where he got his semicha see the Rashi on Bava Metzia 84a divri hamskil Rebbe karo li Moishe Indig (the Avg high School Beis Yakov Girl knows more then he does) who's also a known slumlord
highlights ours
On Election Day, Tuesday November 5th, New York voters will find on the ballot an initiative called “Proposal 1” allowing the State to sanction the building of seven Casino gaming resorts throughout the State, including in Sullivan County; the home of many Orthodox Jewish summer camps and vacation homes.
This initiative is strongly supported by
the vast majority of elected officials, from local to State
Governments, from Liberal Democrats to Conservative Republicans and opposed by rabbaniem; from
Employers to workers. The referendum is extremely "important" to the New
York State Government in general and to County and municipal governments
in particular as they desperately need the influx of revenue immorality, drugs, and gambling problems that these
gaming resorts will generate. Governor Andrew Cuomo’s budget office
projects that the creation of additional “destination gaming resorts”
will yield 10,000 jobs and $430 million in new annual tax dollars according to a law passed by the Legislature millions of dollars spent on fighting gambling addictions, crime etc. which
the negative amount of dollars left over needs to be spent toward
schools, property tax relief and aid to local governments.
Having said that, we also know that, we –
as Orthodox Jews – don’t condone gambling in itself given the potential
downsides that it can bring with it such as addiction, family and
financial ruin. But on the other hand we are aware that the Orthodox
Jewish Community has 1) thousands of Yeshiva/Kollel students who spend
their time studying, 2) thousands of low wage earners, and 3) very large
families all in need of Government Assistance. Furthermore, the
Orthodox Jewish summer camps are religious institutions that occupy
hundreds of acres of land in Sullivan County, with much lower tax
obligations than if they’d be occupied by private or commercial
entities.
We as a community need to understand
that we shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds us. read the article on the bottom of the page We recognize that the
State and local governments that help us in so many ways should have new
forms of revenue that they so desperately need to pay their bills which
includes assisting the Jewish Community. Furthermore, as part-time
citizens of the Catskills, we developed a close relationship with the
local and municipal governments and we appreciate the help that they are
to us. They are all begging for more funds!
As the Jewish principle of “Hakoros Hatov”
– showing appreciation to those who are good to you, we should not
fight an initiative that would help them read the article on the bottom of the page, also hakoros hatov does not mean I have to do what ever the person wants even if it will harm me. Additionally, our Great Grand
Rabbe of Satmar, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum ZTL I wonder why he didn't add this, is he really Lubavitch, fiercely opposed “Hisgaros B’umos” which has nothing to do with gambling but has a lot to do with normal Satmar voting habits read the article on the bottom of the page
– provoking our non-Jewish neighbors how come Satmar doesn't feel the same way about the water pipe plan (I have no problem with the water pipe plan but according to "harav hagoan" Moshe Indig it's Hisgaros B’umos). When we see the financial
benefits that the State and local governments are set to gain from this
initiative, when we see the millions in property tax relief this will
bring to millions of New Yorkers, when we see that the Governor,
Democrats, Republicans, employers and unions all back this initiative,
we should not be the ones provoking them by actively opposing it. As
Jews in “Golus” (Exile) we live at the mercy of the Government. It is
therefore against the teachings of Torah and our Sages to impose our
beliefs onto the Government. but to hold them ransom for money is muter?
Let me be clear: Every citizen has been
given the right to vote his conscious and what he/she feels is the right
thing to do. But to organize a movement against the benefit of our
government, on a referendum that will not infringe on our Torah and
Mitzvos or on our culture and way of life, is contrary to the way we
were taught by our "Great" Grand "Rabbi" of Satmar aron teitelbaum. Better yet, gaming to
a certain levels already exists all over New York but Orthodox Jews
mostly do not gamble because we don’t believe in it, but others do. We
should not be here to change it especially that New York literally
losses billions of dollars from the expanded gaming business that
existing in the states neighboring New York. These billions can be here
in New York and beneffit the very governments and neighbors on whose
help and mercy we live.
No problem according to "rabbi" Moshe Indig |
As for the worries that some people have if we expand gaming in New York, let me address a few of them:
Traffic: For those of you who are
concerned about the traffic congestion that the casinos will cause in
the Catskills and elsewhere, let me remind you that we are causing the
same amount of congestion during the two summer months that we spend in
the Catskills! Take a drive up to the Catskills in middle of the winter,
and compare the busiest winter day to the slowest summer day. It’s
literally two worlds but when locals complain about it, we say that they
should appreciate the business that we bring during the Summer. It’s a
valid point but why should we not appreciate the business that the
gaming industry will bring to the region? Besides, as part of the gaming
plan and with the influx of additional revenue, roads and highways
leading up the Catskills Region will be expanded. The Industry does not
want its customers stuck in traffic. if this was the only problem I wouldn't write this editorial
Crime: Those who claim that
gaming will bring a rise in crime should be reminded that local law
enforcement agencies – whether it’s the municipal police departments or
the Sullivan County Sheriff, or the NY State Police – are all doing a
superb crime-fighting job. The influx of revenue that the gaming
industry will bring will permit these departments and agencies to expand
their forces to secure the safety of the region. It’s for the benifit
of the gaming industry, the locals and the state alike. so if crime goes up (which you agree with) it's OK as long as there are more police officers to take care of it?
The Fabric of Orthodox Jewry:
Some are concerned that expanding gaming will lure more of our
youngsters into gambling, but let’s be honest about it: There are
multiple casinos easily accessible to Orthodox Jews in NYC and
the surrounding counties yet only a very small percent of Orthodox Jews
are into it. so lets build one in Kiryas Joel Expanding what is already out there will not change this
reality which am I more likely to go to Atlantic City or a casino right near my camp on my off day? . In fact, we all remember that the neighborhood of Williamsburg,
Brooklyn was up in arms about the Steiner Studio coming to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. Alarmists warned that it will destroy the fabric of the
neighborhood and that Williamsburg will never be the same, but more than
a decade later, the Steiner Studio is there, the neighborhood is the
same, and many locals don’t even know that there’s a movie studio in
their own back yard. only someone with a Satmar education would compare a Casino with a movie studio where the problems stay inside the studio
I understand the emotion that this issue
may bring to the community but we need to move forward with due
diligence; not emotion or fear-mongering. Based on all of the points I
outlined above, I’m here to make our stance clear: we are not fighting,
nor should we be fighting this gaming initiative known as “Proposal 1”.

Gay Terrorists Sue Cab Company For Not Allowing Them To Kiss In His Taxi
A gay Chicago couple is suing a cab company and one of its drivers for allegedly kicking them out of his cab for kissing.
The men are seeking compensatory damages in their suit.
(NBC)
On a stormy night in May, Steven White
and Matthew McCrea were in a cab heading into the city from O’Hare
International Airport, sharing a giggle over a silly YouTube video, when
McCrea leaned in and kissed his boyfriend.
A moment later, cab driver Jama Anshur
began turning the interior lights on and off, telling his passengers,
“This is public transportation.” Then, according to the couple, the
driver swerved off the Kennedy Expy. and demanded the couple get out —
on the shoulder, in the pelting rain.
“My initial reaction was that I was
afraid of this man, and I didn’t know what he was thinking,” said White,
29, of West Hollywood, Calif., who at the time was visiting McCrea, a
Lake View resident. “Matt’s initial reaction was that we are not getting
out of this cab on the expressway.”
On Monday, White and McCrea filed a
complaint with the Illinois Department of Human Rights, claiming cabbie
Anshur and his company at the time, Sun Taxi, discriminated against
them.
Anshur, a cabbie for eight years, told
the Chicago Sun-Times he wasn’t kicking out his passengers when he
pulled off the freeway. He was annoyed because they wouldn’t stop
kissing.
“I told them to stop,” said Anshur. “It
was raining. I couldn’t drive with something like that. I have to drive
safely because it’s raining.”
The couple deny they were engaged in anything but a very brief kiss. And they say their ordeal didn’t end there.
Anshur then swerved back into traffic,
before eventually pulling into a grocery parking lot in Park Ridge, the
couple say. White called 311 on his cell phone and was eventually
connected to 911. The complaint alleges the cab driver told arriving
police that his passengers had been “making sex” in his cab — something
White and McCrea strongly deny.
No arrests were made, and the couple got out of the cab and waited for another one to come pick them up.
“It was a scary situation,” said McCrea.
“You feel helpless. I can’t control what someone else does. When you
see that kind of behavior, you’re nervous [and think], what’s going on
here?”
Back in May, a spokesman for Anshur’s cab company, Sun Taxi, said he hadn’t seen the complaint Monday and had no comment.
Jong Lee, Sun Taxi’s general manager, said the cab driver was released “right after the incident.” so the company fires the cab driver and the gay terrorists still sue them
Anshur said he’s been treated unfairly.
He says he doesn’t like any sort of prolonged smooching — gay or
straight — in his cab. And he says his passengers on that May night were
rude to him.
“They say, you are the driver,” said
Anshur, who said he now drives for Yellow Cab. “Your job is to drive.
Turn around and drive.”
Yellow Cab officials were not available to comment.
Though Anshur says he’s not anti-gay, he says he believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.
“That’s my religion,” Anshur said.
The couple, who have been engaged in
their long-distance relationship for about eight months, is, among other
things, seeking “compensatory and other damages,” according to the
complaint, filed by Lambda Legal, a national civil rights organization
that advocates for the LGBT community.
“We just hope to bring some attention to
this issue in the hopes that it doesn’t happen to other people,” White
said. “We’re really lucky that in the State of Illinois, the LGBT
community is protected, and so these kinds of things shouldn’t be
happening.”
Until the incident in May, the couple hadn’t given much thought to brief displays of affection in public.
“Unfortunately, now I kind of have to
think about this stuff,” McCrea said. “I might be a little more cautious
about how I act around other people in a cab.”
White says he refuses to change his behavior.
“We’re a couple just like any other couple,” White said. notice what they really want

Air Force Drops "So Help Me God" From Oath Because Of Atheist Terrorists
Air Force Academy |
The words were made optional after a complaint from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group, that they violated the constitutional concept of religious freedom.
Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson said the change was made to respect cadets' freedom of religion.
The oath states, "We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live honorably, so help me God."
Cadets are required to take the oath once a year, academy spokesman Maj. Brus Vidal said.
Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, welcomed the change but questioned how it will be applied.
If the person leading the oath includes the words, cadets who choose not to say them might feel vulnerable to criticism, he said.
"What does it mean, 'optional'?" Weinstein said. "The best thing is to eliminate it."
Vidal said the oath is led by the Cadet Wing honor chair, a student, and that person will also have the option to use or not use the words.
Academy officials did not immediately return a follow-up call seeking comment on Weinstein's question.
The West Point equivalent oath does not include the words "so help me God," said Frank DeMaro, a school spokesman. It states, "A cadet will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do."
Officials at the U.S. Naval Academy did not immediately return a call. "The Honor Concept" on the Naval Academy website includes similar proscriptions against lying, cheating and stealing but includes no religious reference.
The Air Force Academy outside Colorado Springs has about 4,000 cadets. When they graduate, they are commissioned as second lieutenants.

Community.
- CIRCUIT JUDGE LYNCH : Just so I understand . You don't think at least your ideal proposal would not take in people from Borough Park and move them into an other district that was combined with other South Brooklyn Jewish communities. You' re satisfied with that piece that completely nullifies the Jewish vote in favor of Liberals, but you're interested in taking the communities to the east of there and linking them in some way either to what's now the proposed 8th which is a majority black district, and includes Bedford–Stuyvesant, or what' s now the proposed 11th . Is that the idea ?
- COUNCILMAN GREENFIELD : Let me just be clear . I think it's a two - part question , if I may . So part one I would say that the community that I represent notice how Greenfield is speaking for all of Borough Park I think is very satisfied with the plans of the 10th Congressional District are you happy being in the same district as The largest gay "community" on the east coast and being represented by Jerry Nadler. We notice how he's speaking for all of Borough Park don't believe that we need to have a district that encompasses the entire community or try to elect an Orthodox Jew . I can say that honestly because I would probably benefit the most if such a district would be created so this baal geyva thinks that we would elect him to congress?. That's not we're looking for, we're just looking for the communities to have a voice like in Nadler's district we have a voice?. So you have a hundred thousand roughly Orthodox Jews Kensington, Borough Park, and Bensonhurst we're now currently in the 10th , that's great if you are for homosexuality and liberalism, and don't want Shuls getting money from FEMA. The problem is on the other side they're sort of broken up . So what I've proposed is that let's either go back to the - - once again , I understand the burdens that you have in terms of trying to balance this all so that's why I ' m trying to give some possibilities . Potentially go back to the 9th where we can incorporate this community , or perhaps combine them with the current 11 th . For example, honestly, if we're speaking frankly, the 9th, current proposed 9th District , which is currently represented by an individual whose views and values do not mesh very well with the Orthodox Jewish community he's referring to Yevette Clarke and is correct but Nadlers doesn't fit with us any better then Clarke . And so, I would propose that those communities specifically the communities of Midwood , Gravesend , and Marine Park they should be combined into one area to give those communities a fair voice. and he has no problem if they would be linked together with Bedford–Stuyvesant
Joseph Hayon's testimony highlights are for clarification and important missing information

The Court in it's decision Even Quoted Greenfield, as one of the excuses to not allow the Jewish community to be united in one district, and thus nullifying our votes
- The proposed solutions also varied.
- One public official Greenfield noted that the Orthodox population was insufficient to constitute a majority in any single district . He suggested that the Recommended Plan adequately concentrated what he characterized as about half of the Orthodox residents of South Brooklyn ( those residing in Borough Park) in Recommended District 10 Nadler's district , but he argued that more easterly residents were divided among several districts and could beneficially be unified.
- These divergences mostly Greenfield's suggest the difficulties, even under ideal conditions, of identifying and satisfying the particular concerns of the objectors
12 Examples Of Gay Terrorism
THE GAYING OF AMERICA
12 chilling incidents of LGBT tyranny
by Linda Harvey
And the good news is, there’s now proof. The abuses of homosexual empowerment are being documented with evidence piling up week by week. Everyday Americans are the victims, but we can learn from these incidents so others won’t be targeted as well.
The truth is “sexual orientation/gender identity non-discrimination” translates to a carte blanche to compel respect for deviance. If you decline, you will pay – your constitutional rights are a joke to militant homosexuals. Here are a dozen recent incidents that tell the story:
Gay bullying incident No. 1: A bakery in Oregon called Sweet Cakes by Melissa recently shut its doors. Why? Some time back, two lesbians wanted to order a cake for their same-sex ceremony, but owners Aaron and Melissa Klein turned them down, explaining that same-sex “marriage” isn’t consistent with their faith as Christians. The women left, and next thing they knew Sweet Cakes was sued for discrimination.
Then came intense, negative media coverage, vicious phone calls and emails, protesters, threats against their children, a boycott, then a boycott of all their suppliers, followed by an investigation by the Oregon Labor Commission, which recommended “rehabilitation.” Aaron Klein said he was forced to close his bakery because of homosexual mob tactics.
No, this isn’t Berlin 1938. It’s the birth of tyranny in America 2013.
You might think people in government agencies even on the Left Coast have better things to do. Or you might think, “Surely we Americans still have freedom of religion, freedom of speech!” The activists and their allies are blasting past that. “Catch me if you can” is the approach, deploying “non-discrimination” laws to punish their political enemies. And that includes, apparently, bakeries.
Gay bullying incident No. 2: A florist in the state of Washington is being sued after turning down a long-time customer, a homosexual man, who wanted flowers for his same-sex “wedding.” The owner politely explained her refusal arose from her Christian faith. But she didn’t get the email about the unacceptability of resisting any homosexual request these days. The gay man sued her, and then the state attorney general piled on with another suit. Good news, though: she is counter-suing for religious discrimination.
Gay bullying incident No. 3: Then there’s the Christian photographer in New Mexico who was fined $7,000, a ruling recently upheld by the creatively fascist New Mexico Supreme Court. Elane Photography declined taking photos of a same-sex ceremony, citing Christian religious beliefs. The couple sued because there are apparently no other photographers in that state. Or maybe out of pure lesbian spite.
Gay bullying incident No. 4: In private companies, homosexual advocates are inventing new methods for discriminating using “non-discrimination” policies. Former NFL player Craig James was fired after one broadcast as a commentator for Fox Sports allegedly because of remarks he made while running for the U.S. Senate in Texas. (Ted Cruz won that race.) All candidates on a panel were quizzed about same-sex marriage, and Craig James spoke up for the biblical view of sexual morality. Fox dismissed him, but James is suing Fox Sports for religious discrimination.
Gay bullying incident No. 5: A bakery in the Denver area is being sued by a homosexual couple for not baking a cake for a same-sex ceremony. Possible jail time is involved.
Gay/trans bullying incident No. 6: A bar owner in Portland must pay $400,000 to 11 transvestites because of emotional distress following a phone call. He asked that they not return to his bar; customers were complaining and leaving.
Gay/trans bullying incident No. 7: Natalie Johnson of San Antonio was fired from Macy’s in 2011 after she refused to allow a teen male to enter the women’s dressing room. She cited religious faith and concern about the privacy of biological women. Both of these protected classes – sex and religion – are included in virtually every “non-discrimination” policy or law (including Macys’).
Gay bullying incident No. 8: Dr. Frank Turek, Christian author, speaker and radio host, is also a management consultant. He was fired from his consulting contract with Cisco Systems when a homosexual participant in his class took offense after reading one of Turek’s books supporting man/woman marriage. The participant complained to Cisco human resources, and Turek was gone.
Gay bullying incident No. 9: Jim and Beth Walder are Christians who own a bed and breakfast in Paxton, Ill. When they declined renting their facility to a homosexual couple for a civil union, they were sued.

Perhaps
you are someone tempted to embrace “gay rights” as a worthy cause. If
so, it’s likely you recently returned to America after a lengthy sojourn
on a desert island.
Everyone I’m talking to asks, “How did we get here?” and, “What can we do?” America is not a hateful country, and conservatives are not potential bullies. That shoe actually fits the other side in this debate.
And the good news is, there’s now proof. The abuses of homosexual
empowerment are being documented with evidence piling up week by week.
Everyday Americans are the victims, but we can learn from these
incidents so others won’t be targeted as well.
The truth is “sexual orientation/gender identity non-discrimination” translates to a carte blanche to compel respect for deviance. If you decline, you will pay – your constitutional rights are a joke to militant homosexuals. Here are a dozen recent incidents that tell the story:
Gay bullying incident No. 1: A bakery in Oregon called Sweet Cakes by Melissa recently shut its doors. Why? Some time back, two lesbians wanted to order a cake for their same-sex ceremony, but owners Aaron and Melissa Klein turned them down, explaining that same-sex “marriage” isn’t consistent with their faith as Christians. The women left, and next thing they knew Sweet Cakes was sued for discrimination.
Then came intense, negative media coverage, vicious phone calls and emails, protesters, threats against their children, a boycott, then a boycott of all their suppliers, followed by an investigation by the Oregon Labor Commission, which recommended “rehabilitation.” Aaron Klein said he was forced to close his bakery because of homosexual mob tactics.
No, this isn’t Berlin 1938. It’s the birth of tyranny in America 2013.
You might think people in government agencies even on the Left Coast have better things to do. Or you might think, “Surely we Americans still have freedom of religion, freedom of speech!” The activists and their allies are blasting past that. “Catch me if you can” is the approach, deploying “non-discrimination” laws to punish their political enemies. And that includes, apparently, bakeries.
Don’t miss Whistleblower magazine’s October issue: “THE NEW SEXUAL REVOLUTION: How the ‘gay rights’ movement has become a Trojan Horse for totalitarianism”
Gay bullying incident No. 2: A florist in the state of Washington is being sued after turning down a long-time customer, a homosexual man, who wanted flowers for his same-sex “wedding.” The owner politely explained her refusal arose from her Christian faith. But she didn’t get the email about the unacceptability of resisting any homosexual request these days. The gay man sued her, and then the state attorney general piled on with another suit. Good news, though: she is counter-suing for religious discrimination.
Gay bullying incident No. 3: Then there’s the Christian photographer in New Mexico who was fined $7,000, a ruling recently upheld by the creatively fascist New Mexico Supreme Court. Elane Photography declined taking photos of a same-sex ceremony, citing Christian religious beliefs. The couple sued because there are apparently no other photographers in that state. Or maybe out of pure lesbian spite.
Gay bullying incident No. 4: In private companies, homosexual advocates are inventing new methods for discriminating using “non-discrimination” policies. Former NFL player Craig James was fired after one broadcast as a commentator for Fox Sports allegedly because of remarks he made while running for the U.S. Senate in Texas. (Ted Cruz won that race.) All candidates on a panel were quizzed about same-sex marriage, and Craig James spoke up for the biblical view of sexual morality. Fox dismissed him, but James is suing Fox Sports for religious discrimination.
Gay bullying incident No. 5: A bakery in the Denver area is being sued by a homosexual couple for not baking a cake for a same-sex ceremony. Possible jail time is involved.
Gay/trans bullying incident No. 6: A bar owner in Portland must pay $400,000 to 11 transvestites because of emotional distress following a phone call. He asked that they not return to his bar; customers were complaining and leaving.
Gay/trans bullying incident No. 7: Natalie Johnson of San Antonio was fired from Macy’s in 2011 after she refused to allow a teen male to enter the women’s dressing room. She cited religious faith and concern about the privacy of biological women. Both of these protected classes – sex and religion – are included in virtually every “non-discrimination” policy or law (including Macys’).
Gay bullying incident No. 8: Dr. Frank Turek, Christian author, speaker and radio host, is also a management consultant. He was fired from his consulting contract with Cisco Systems when a homosexual participant in his class took offense after reading one of Turek’s books supporting man/woman marriage. The participant complained to Cisco human resources, and Turek was gone.
Gay bullying incident No. 9: Jim and Beth Walder are Christians who own a bed and breakfast in Paxton, Ill. When they declined renting their facility to a homosexual couple for a civil union, they were sued.
Gay bullying incident No. 10: A Vermont bed and breakfast was sued by a same-sex couple based on the state’s “human rights” ordinance for not hosting their event. The Wildflower Inn eventually agreed to pay $30,000 in settlement fees.

Chris Christie YMS Allows Same Gender "Marriages"
After signing a Homosexual Teaching Bill, And Ban On Helping Children Get Rid of Homosexual Desires, Chris Christie does the ultimate Betrayal of allowing Same Gender "Marriages! This a clear Betrayal of the 1000's of his supporters especially in Lakewood who only voted for him because of his opposition to Same Gender "Marriages". Maybe Lakewood CEO Aaron Kotler (Who Has yet to drop his support of Christie) Should have invited Christie To Shul last Shabbos to hear what happened to the cities (Sdom etc.) that were full of sexual immorality!
As couples across New Jersey began "marrying" on Monday after the stroke of midnight, Gov. Chris Christie abandoned his long fight against same-sex "marriage", concluding that signals from the court and the march of history were against him.
Don't Vote For Chris Christie This Year! Go To Vote and write in NO Gay "Marriages"! |
As couples across New Jersey began "marrying" on Monday after the stroke of midnight, Gov. Chris Christie abandoned his long fight against same-sex "marriage", concluding that signals from the court and the march of history were against him.
His decision not to appeal a judge’s ruling that allowed the "weddings"
removed the last hurdle to legalized same-sex "marriage" in New Jersey,
making it the 14th state, along with the District of Columbia, to allow
gay "couples" to "wed".
Mr. Christie’s advisers said it became clear late on Friday that the
fight had to end after the State Supreme Court announced it would not
grant the governor’s request to block same-sex "marriages" while he
appealed.
Not only did the court decision say that his appeal had no “reasonable
probability of success,” it was also unanimous — signed by the justices
Mr. Christie has long warred against and by the one he considered on his side, Justice Anne M. Patterson.
The governor concluded that, legally, he was out of arguments, and that
it would be what one aide called a “fool’s errand” to continue in the
face of almost certain failure.
Politically, members of his staff bet that they could contain the damage
by arguing that the governor had never changed his mind — he still
opposes same-sex "marriage" — and blaming activist judges, which even
critics of the governor’s decision began doing on Monday.
“He looks realistic, while sticking to his principles — and people are
happy,” said one adviser who spoke on the condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to discuss strategy.
Mr. Christie, a Republican widely considered a leading contender for his
party’s presidential nomination in 2016, has long tried to walk a fine
line on same-sex "marriage", which polls show is popular in his home
state, but opposed by conservative voters in important primary states.
Last year, he vetoed legislation allowing same-sex "marriage", saying
voters should decide the issue in a referendum. As recently as last
week, he repeated his position that he believed marriage to be between a
man and a woman. But he also signed a bill outlawing so-called gay
conversion therapy, which angered conservatives.
Even if he lost on the marriage issue, his aides said, Mr. Christie
could still promote himself as the kind of politician voters embrace,
because they know where he stands, even if they do not agree with him.
The dizzying events in New Jersey showed how quickly the politics of same-sex "marriage" have changed.
Starting at midnight and into early Monday, same-sex "couples" from Asbury
Park to Jersey City "wed" in emotional ceremonies that had been hastily
arranged after the court denied Mr. Christie’s request for a delay.
At 8:30 a.m., lawyers representing the couples who had sued to be
allowed to "marry" received calls from the administration, telling them
that the governor had dropped his appeal. In a conference call later,
lawyers for Lambda Legal said
that they expected to prevail with similar litigation in Nevada,
Virginia and West Virginia, and that they were optimistic about their
chances in the legislatures in Hawaii and Illinois.
“I think the handwriting was on the wall as clearly as it could possibly
be,” said Lawrence S. Lustberg, a lawyer who argued the case for gay
and lesbian "couples" before the New Jersey Supreme Court.
“The governor had always said he would fight this all the way up to the
Supreme Court,” Mr. Lustberg added, “but he didn’t say he was going to
fight it to the Supreme Court twice. As a matter of reasonable lawyering
on the one hand, and a clear perception of what the court’s position
was on the other, this was inevitable.”
Just four months ago, even advocates for same-sex "marriage" believed that
the governor had firmly blocked it. A coalition of state and national
gay rights groups was pushing to override his veto of same-sex "marriage"
legislation, but they were far short of the votes they needed.
In September, Judge Mary C. Jacobson YMS of State Superior Court ruled that
the state had to allow gay "marriages" to "comply" with the United States
Supreme Court decision in June that guaranteed same-sex married couples
the same federal benefits as heterosexual married couples. This activists decision still clearly had nothing to do with states not allowing same gender "marriage" In 2006, a
New Jersey Supreme Court decision guaranteed "equal" protection to
same-sex "couples", which prompted the State Legislature to enact "civil
unions". But the United States Supreme Court decision meant that couples
in "civil unions" did not have the same benefits as those in "marriages".this is clearly one judicial activism case built on top of another
A Rutgers Eagleton poll released on Monday
found that a majority of respondents, including a majority of those
supporting Mr. Christie in his bid for re-election on Nov. 5, did not
want him to pursue the appeal.
Mr. Christie is trying to roll up as big a margin of victory as possible
next month so he can cast himself as a presidential candidate who can
win even in blue states. Continuing to oppose same-sex "marriage" against
the images of the jubilant "weddings" might have hurt that effort. at least that is what he "thinks"
His Democratic opponent, State Senator Barbara Buono, sought to remind
voters that he had tried “to block the "rights" of gays and lesbians at
every turn.”
“It took a determined effort by brave individuals,” Ms. Buono added,
“and a unanimous decision by the New Jersey Supreme Court to force the
governor to drop his appeal. I am thrilled the court ended his ability
to enforce his "bigoted" views that are contrary to the values of our
state.”
But even prominent Republican donors had been among those financing a
campaign to override Mr. Christie’s veto, suggesting that the national
politics of same-sex "marriage" might be shifting. Aides to the governor
acknowledged that his decision might alienate primary voters who already
doubt his social conservative credentials, but they added that he was
never going to have an easy time in the Iowa presidential caucuses.
Still, the administration was not exactly celebrating the position it
was in. Announcements from Mr. Christie’s office typically arrive with a
news release, a video and a Twitter post. This one came in a sober note
from a spokesman to reporters early on Monday; there was no
announcement on the governor’s Web site.
“Although the governor strongly disagrees with the court substituting
its judgment for the constitutional process of the elected branches or a
vote of the people,” the note said, “the court has now spoken clearly
as to their "view" of the "New Jersey Constitution" and, therefore, same-sex
"marriage" is the law.
“The governor will do his constitutional duty and ensure his
administration enforces the law as dictated by the New Jersey Supreme
Court.”
National conservative groups criticized “an activist judiciary run amok,” in the words of the National Organization for Marriage. But they also had harsh words for Mr. Christie, for, as the organization said, “throwing in the towel.”
“The mark of a leader is to walk a principled walk no matter the
difficulty of the path,” said the statement from the organization’s
president, Brian Brown. “Chris Christie has failed the test, abandoning
both voters and the core institution of society: marriage as the union
of one man and one woman.”

Senator Elect Cory Booker Mocks Religious People
LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. (AP) —
Gay
"couples" exchanged vows in early morning ceremonies in several New Jersey
communities Monday (A day of Tzom and Selichos) as the state began recognizing their "marriages" at
12:01 a.m., becoming the 14th state to do so.
In the arts community of Lambertville, Mayor David DelVecchio led the ceremony to "marry" Beth Asaro and Joanne Schailey. He also presided when they joined in a "civil union" the minute they became recognized in the state in February 2007.
Soon after
they cut the cake, DelVecchio handed Asaro a pink "marriage" license.
"We're floating on air," she said. Added Schailey, "It's like winning
the Super Bowl."
Asaro, a member of the city council in Lambertville, said they wanted to get "married" at the first moment, in part, to promote the "gay-friendliness" of their community north of Trenton.
"This shows to the world that Lambertville is open for business," DelVecchio said.
In Newark, Mayor Cory Booker was "marrying" the first of several couples when someone attempted to disrupt the ceremony.
Booker had asked if anyone had reason to object to the marriage and a protester screamed "This is unlawful in the eyes of God and JC."
Booker, who was elected to the U.S. Senate last week, called for the person to be removed and police dragged him out.
As Booker continued speaking, "...not hearing any substantive and worthy objections," thunderous applause erupted.
The "weddings" came amid a flurry of legal activity after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that the federal government should recognize gay "marriages" and confer couples with the same benefits that it does for heterosexual married couples, including joint tax filings, the right to live together in government-funded nursing homes and Social Security survivor benefits.
A state judge last month agreed with advocates who said that by allowing "civil unions" but not "marriage", New Jersey was keeping gay "couples" in the state from legal "equality".
The administration of Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican and possible 2016 presidential candidate, appealed both the ruling and Monday's implementation date to the state Supreme Court.
And on Friday, less than 60 hours before the weddings were to begin, the state's top court refused to delay them while it sorts out the overall case. The court said the state is not likely to prevail.
State Sen. Ray Lesniak said late Sunday he believes there are enough votes to override Christie's gay "marriage" veto in the Senate and that he expects a vote after the Nov. 5 election.
"Though we are 99 percent sure based on the unanimous opinion against the stay that the Supreme Court will uphold so called "marriage" "equality", we'd like to be 100 percent sure," Lesniak said.
Many of the people who have long fought for the right for gay "couples" to "marry" had been bracing for a delay, even while they were optimistic the state's top court would ultimately force New Jersey to recognize same-sex "marriage".
For the first "couples" to "tie the knot" legally, it's been a weekend of fast "wedding" planning and confusion.
Some towns began taking applications for same-sex "marriage" licenses on Thursday and continued even after the state government told them not to until there was clarity from the courts.
Other towns refused to grant licenses even after the state Health Department????? said Friday evening that towns should accept the applications.
It's expected that a rush of "weddings" will continue in coming days as couples are able to get licenses.
