We wondered why the Christian Civic League hasn't trespassed on any Pagan property, nor outed any already out Pagans lately, so we went to their "news" site to see what's up. They've been pushing through an effort to put a referendum on the ballot which would move Maine closer to the Dark Ages, gender-issues-wise, as well as stripping the funding for the Civil Rights teams that have been so good for promoting tolerance in our public schools. Tolerance, tsk, tsk, can't have that, you know!
The new "news" written by "staff" and quoting Director Michael Heath as though he weren't feverishly typing the thing up himself in his dank lair, is this. They (he) have discovered to their (his) horror that their scapegoats, er, opposites in this matter, plan to stand at the polls alongside anyone gather referendum signatures. These people would be clarifying the situation for the public in order to convince people that signing this one isn't a great idea. Hey, it's a free country, right?
Not if Mr. Heath has his way. He (oh, sorry, "Staff") characterizes this plan to talk to people as a plan to harass Christian grandmothers, and as a "totalitarian campaign of intimidation." I encourage anyone not familiar with the League's tactics to check out some of its past activities, just to see how laughable that is, considering the source.
These are the people who only believe in first amendment rights for straight Christians who don't wear lingerie. They can speak, but you can't. They can propose laws, but you can't. They know what Jesus wants, but you don't. They have a history of attending events that they disagree with, take pictures, protest what's going on, publicize who's participating, then write a "news" story about how they weren't tolerated. Nice.

Mr. Heath's staff, brought to you by Senor Wences...
Come now, Andy. Surely Hein could interview Heath and that would make a "they", right?
Well, yeah, except staff here thinks Mr. Heinous is sharing Cheney's bunker or something! If you read CCL (and why would you), you'll notice that it looks a lot like the Michael Heath Traveling Salvation Show now, cardboard audience and all...

Hey, I'm going to be one of those totalitarians out there harassing dear Christian grandmothers by telling them that the CCL slogan "Yes for Equality" is total guano. I should be terribly ashamed of myself for believing in freedom, tolerance, and equality and other values that Jesus said were important.
