I was sitting around the other day, musing how still there are literally no buttons or bumper stickers seen throughout Lake County Illinois for ANY candidate(s), and how Team Obama emailed to say a Chicago office will finally open next week (maybe if they pay crews, that's one way to blanket with signs or stickers), when I received an email informing me that way back this May, a gay man won as Portland Oregon's new Mayor.

 

Trying then to see what "Googling" might turn up about him, very little to my powers of internet...name Sam Adams, born 1963, currently a Portland Commissioner, won with 58% of vote in field of twelve, no runoff needed, starts term January 01, 2009; openly gay, Caucasian. Maybe it's just me, but that's the first I heard, and all I could dig up on free searching.

 

Remember when Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, a Hispanic, won? John Kerry proudly and loudly backed him, the Democrats bragged on their campaign sign "Los Angeles, California, Unites States of Mexico"; last December Villaraigosa per an Associated Press piece intended, ala European Union Parliament, to bring even Muslim jihadists to his town, have police identify who needs most appeasement or they'll go more jihad, and to do so with HR 1955/287g powers against USA nationals and immigrants already here...sort of like a clone of how the European Union Parliament's Socialist Group identifies their own version of same only their anti-national power a very broadly defined "Article 13" of the their constitution. Currently, European Union has no known enemy(ies) it is militarily engaging including terrorists (despite growing a whole 66,000 European force outside NATO), and by resistance to ICC warrant issuance for Darfur's Bashir (funder of terror group Janjaweed, biggest cause of death in Darfur) apparently no world policing objectives.

 

Well, where's all the Democrat hoopla over Sam Adams getting elected in Portland? After all, Illinois (100% Democrat controlled re legislature and executive branch, plus Assistant U.S. Senate Majority Leader Durbin and Obama) is trying to pass a law which creates civil unions but essentially would ban religions from teaching against homosexuality even though clergy need not officiate if they choose not to ( q.v., http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=&SessionId=51&GA=95&DocTypeId=HB&DocNum=1826&GAID=9&LegID=30661&SpecSess=&Session), and Obama loudly interprets Christ's Sermon On The Mount (aka Beatitudes Of Jesus) to include homosexuals amongst those non-officials should be nice to (no problems there, by the way, subject to social conduct like everybody else)...yet even here in the alleged Land-O-Bama, nobody would even know the "racist nationalist reactionaries and bitter religious" of Portland Oregon easily elected a gay man to major office.

 

Maybe Sam Adams, and I don't know, doesn't fit with other Democrat tack-ons: let's have jihadists come here even if they WTC until the cows come home, let's have so little intent of world police action or attacker-enemies ever again that we keep on with BRAC and recruitment closures, let's have no particular enemies, and leave our nationals and other immigrants with no particular rights on never-cancelled AUMFs even if purposes concluded or abandoned...maybe Sam's not European enough for Democrats to brag about.
