I just got a fundraising appeal by email for a self-professed "black conservative" from North Carolina who's running for Congress from the 5th district in that state. The man, Vernon Robinson, is proud that the local newspaper said of him: "Jesse Helms is Back! And this time, he's BLACK!" Reading his email and checking out his Web site he sure does sound like as much a bigot as Jesse Helms. According to his email he's opposed to:
- lesbian feministsThen he tries to spin himself as an environmentalist, while at the same time taking yet another swipe at the Mexicans:
- the ACLU
- Hollywood whiners
- peaceniks
- atheists
- gun control
- radical homosexuals
- special rights for homosexuals
- "all of that 'immigrants are people too' rhetoric that tries to lay a guilt trip on any American who supports any limits at all on immigration to this country."
"Roaming mobs of these aliens trying to sneak into our country beat ugly paths through our national forests, trample rare desert vegetation, and desecrate important Native American archeological sites. They leave their trash behind, start forest fires through carelessness (60,000+ acres of Coronado National Forest burned this way), and all too often die in the desert on the way." [Now, he's Smokey-the-bigot.]Then after several paragraphs blaming illegal aliens for 9/11, over crime, rape, destroying the environment, taking our welfare money, take our jobs, and apparently there's a secret Mexican plot to "to increase the flow of Mexicans into the United States so as to turn our culture and influence American policy toward Mexico." [Darn, those Mexicans are sneaky.]
After all of that, Robinson reassures us that "These are not racist observations." [Could have fooled me.]
Ok, the guy sounds like a bigot to me, but hey, let's give him the benefit of the doubt and go to his campaign Web site and see what he has to say about, oh, say, gay people:
After Senator Rick Santorum was attacked by the militant homosexual lobby, most of his fellow Republicans hid under their desks and said "no comment" when the reporters called. I am one of the few Republican elected officials who publicly defended Santorum. Santorum committed an unforgivable political sin in the eyes of the liberal media when he repeated the same thing that both the Bible and the Supreme Court say about homosexuality. [JOHN'S NOTE: Actually, Santorum compared gay relationships to bestiality.]Ok, I've had enough of this ass. The guy IS another Jesse Helms. How pitiful that this is the best the Republican party can do in reaching out to minorities. Finding a nutjob who can't stand other minorities. Lovely.
For Clinton and many other left-wing public figures, a family can be everything from her infamous "Village" or "Heather Has Two Mommies" or "Daddy's Roommate" to a transvestite, two lesbians, a pedophile, and a partridge in a pear tree. In my opinion, that does not a family make.
I will vigorously oppose homosexual marriages and adoptions, as well as "gay" Scoutmasters. God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
I will join the dozens of Congressmen who sponsored an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that provides that "Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. I oppose the adoption of children by homosexuals.
Hmmmm.... now that I've done a bit more research on this guy, I can see why he's putting out fundraising appeals. Seems he's in a bit of trouble.
- Seems members of his own Republican party have asked for a probe of his finances.
- And it seems that Mr. Robinson was caught engaging in a secret smear campaign against his opponent, and then lying about it.
Gosh, a Republican who lies, hates gays, has issues with Muslims and Mexicans, and has outrageously goofy ideas about how to "help" the environement. Maybe this guy is qualified to be a Republican politician in Washington.
