Time for another referendum on gay rights

By Michael S. Heath

Mar 29, 2008 - 6:45:25 AM

"It is time for another referendum on gay rights. We have been licking our wounds long enough. I'm not going to sit by doing nothing really meaningful and watch either the courts or the legislature further advance special rights for homosexuality. Are you?

Here is what we must do.

We must launch a referendum to stop Maine from endorsing the special legal right to sexual promiscuity. So called "gay" activists want to rob our civilization of the legal and social concept of marriage. They want to replace it with a very special (in the bad sense) construct called civil unions.

Everyone has the right to marry already. Nobody should have legal rights that are premised on being sexually promiscuous!"

Lest you underestimate the scope of Mike's war on sex he eliminates all doubt with his special emphasis on denial on equal rights for all.

"NO SPECIAL RIGHTS FOR HOMOSEXUALITY! PERIOD!!"
<>
"Our referendum petition will prohibit recognition of civil unions and same sex marriage, at the very least.

At this point this is just me talking. I need to hear from you. I need your ideas. Most of all, I need your show of support . . ."

Also at this point some might be mystified that Mike doesn't include professional help as one of his needs.

"But psychologically, it's not such a mystery.

People often try to hide unacceptable behavior from themselves or others by engaging in behaviors or causes that speak to the opposite intentions."

2. Somebody tries to get the gay-rights law repealed practically

every election. It's not that we aren't interested, it's that we've all announced our positions and will act when the time oomes that we can make a difference.

Really, at DU we are pretty much in agreement on this issue, and especially Maine DUers.

3. You said it better than I could

I totally agree with you.

And Heath is always going to try to stir up his troops over this. It's what he does.

4. Mikey says, heal wounds by banning gay rights.

Wounds inflicted by sexual revolution can be healed
By banning gay rights, Maine could allay the harm done
to society by men with ties to our state.

The largest of rivers begins as a small stream. That
small stream tumbles and rushes down from the heights,
joining other streams and tributaries, until together,
they form a great torrent that sweeps away everything
in its path.
<>
The people of Maine must act quickly before the last
phase of the revolution – same-sex marriage – is
complete. If they fail to act now, the pandemic of
sexual immorality would prove incurable, and the
damage would be irreversible.

To that end, the Christian Civic League of Maine will
address the homosexual rights agenda in a
comprehensive manner, by initiating a referendum to
ban same-sex marriage, gay adoption, special rights
and the interference of the gay rights movement in the
public schools. I hope you will join with me in this
noble effort to protect our families, our state and
our nation.

Michael S. Heath is the executive director of the
Christian Civic League of Maine, which is based in
Augusta.

Were this nation not nearing the end of the 2nd term of the worst president ever, someone who many took comfort in "knowing" that he would never reach the White House, I would find your assurances far more comforting.
Think it can't happen here? Think again!

A part of my reason for starting this thread was in hopes that others might be interested in speculating as to the root of Mikey's problem. A while back I attended a function at UMM where Mikey had been invited to be the featured speaker. I came away convinced that Dr. Kuriansky's thesis would address Mike Heath's issues. I see him as one who is in serious need of professional help.

Harry Blackitt: Because... every time they have sexual intercourse, they have to have a baby.

Mrs. Blackitt: But it's the same with us, Harry.

Harry Blackitt: What do you mean?

Mrs. Blackitt: Well, I mean, we've got two children, and we've had sexual intercourse twice.

Harry Blackitt: That's not the point. We could have it any time we wanted.

8. No Apology Needed

No Apology Needed
http://www.mikeheath.net

What is wrong with Christians? I just don't get it. We are addicted to weakness, to projecting "love." Not true love, but a false sort of mamby pamby love.

One courageous Christian did just that recently in Maine's capital city, Augusta. I've written about him on this blog. Mike Hein formed a group called "CLAD." The acronym stands for "Christians Lovingly Advocating Decency." He formed the group to remind an openly pagan as
and sexually deviant lingerie storeowner that displaying her wares on live models in a window on Main Street isn''t a moral thing to do.

Guess what. The storeowner didn't like what Hein did. She, in fact, went ballistic on her blog. Her rantings led many to believe she is insane or demon possessed, perhaps both.

Mike says, "We have been licking our wounds long enough" and freely admits to being "addicted to weakness, to projecting "love." Not true love, but a false sort of mamby pamby love."
The last time I saw Mike, unlike Joe, he had arms, legs and a functioning voice with which to scream and yell yet his cries for help go unanswered and no one steps up to help him out.

Paulie/Mike Heath: Two Sons U.S. Marines
Marine Son is Home!
April 21, 2008

Mike and I were blessed to hug our 6'4" handsome son,
as the Marines arrived stateside last week, after a 7
month deployment overseas. We drove to the Bangor
Int'l Airport to greet them.

That morning, as I was getting ready, a little voice
inside said, "Go early!" So we did. As it turned out,
the Marines arrived 1 hour earlier than scheduled, and
we spent that glorious hour celebrating the return of
our youngest son, who was just promoted to Corporal 2
weeks ago. As an active duty Marine, he is scheduled
to deploy again next year. Our middle son, also a US
Marine, is scheduled to deploy later this year.

Thank you for your valued prayers for our Troops!

Relaxed moral waivers to meet demand for troops

The army gave out 511 moral waivers to soldiers with felony convictions last year, relaxing its recruiting standards in order to admit them. Criminals got 249 army waivers in 2006, a sign that the high demand for US forces in Iraq has forced a sharp increase in the number of criminals allowed on the battlefield.

The felons accepted into the army and MARINES included 87 soldiers convicted of assault or maiming, 130 convicted of non-marijuana drug offences, seven convicted of making terrorist threats, and two convicted of indecent behaviour with a child. Waivers were also granted to 500 burglars and thieves, 19 arsonists and 9 sex offenders.

The new data was released by the oversight committee of the House of Representatives, which also noted that "poor record-keeping and maintenance" prevented the military from tracking how many convicted criminals had received moral waivers before 2006.

10. Sleep well complacent Mainers, Paulie and Mike's "Army of God" is awake!

America’s Holy Warriors

By Chris Hedges

Editor’s note: The former New York Times Mideast Bureau chief warns that the radical Christian right is coming dangerously close to its goal of co-opting the country’s military and law enforcement.
<>
During the past two years I traveled across the country to research and write the book “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America.” I repeatedly listened to radical preachers attack as corrupt and godless most American institutions, from federal agencies that provide housing and social welfare to public schools and the media. But there were two institutions that never came under attack—the military and law enforcement. While these preachers had no interest in communicating with local leaders of other faiths, or those in the community who did not subscribe to their call for a radical Christian state, they assiduously courted and flattered the military and police. They held special services and appreciation days for all four branches of the armed services and for various law enforcement agencies. They encouraged their young men and women to enlist or to join the police or state troopers. They sought out sympathetic military and police officials to attend church events where these officials were lauded and feted for their Christian probity and patriotism. They painted the war in Iraq not as an occupation but as an apocalyptic battle by Christians against Islam, a religion they regularly branded as “satanic.” All this befits a movement whose final aesthetic is violence. It also befits a movement that, in the end, would need the military and police forces to seize power in American society.
<>
The politicization of the military, the fostering of the belief that violence must be used to further a peculiar ideology rather than defend a democracy, was on display recently when Air Force and Army generals and colonels, filmed in uniform at the Pentagon, appeared in a promotional video distributed by the Christian Embassy, a radical Washington-based organization dedicated to building a “Christian America.”
<>
Col. Ralph Benson, a Pentagon chaplain, says in the video: “Christian Embassy is a blessing to the Washington area, a blessing to our capital; it’s a blessing to our country. . . . What more do we need than Christian people leading us and guiding us, so, they’re needed in this hour.”
<>
“The Bush administration has already come close to painting our current wars as wars against Islam—many in the Christian right apparently have this belief,” Ratner said. “If these wars, bad enough as imperial wars, are fought as religious wars, we are facing a very dark age that could go on for a hundred years and that will be very bloody.”

“ALL EYES ARE ON MAINE” -- by Michael S. Heath

After countless hours of preparation, late night sessions, and state-wide campaign tours, the day to vote has at last arrived. For those who worked so arduously on the campaign, the day arrived sooner than they expected. The members of the Christian Civic League, the Coalition for Marriage, and the Maine Grassroots Coalition have worked with a sense of urgency, the type of urgency that arises in a moment of deep crisis. That is where we find ourselves today.

Our featured speaker at the League banquet this year made a startling prediction. Rabbi Daniel Lapin of the organization “Towards Tradition” said that if we lose the battle against the homosexual rights movement, it would mean the end of Western civilization.

Heath Family Update
Earlier this week I told you our son, Jared, is home. He's not actually in Maine, today, but did stop over at a local Maine airport for 1 hour, on his way back to the USA last week.

However, he is really flying home for a 10 day "post deployment leave" visit this weekend. If you live in Central Maine, know Jared, and would like to say "hi," we'll be at Big G's in Winslow, on Saturday at 1:00 PM, God-willing.

We're also planning a trip with Jared to Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs, CO, while he's home.

Civilian death toll in Iraq may have surpassed 1 MILLION

With many casualties not reported, official tallies differ

By Agence France Presse (AFP)

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

BAGHDAD: While the number of US troops killed in Iraq since the 2003 invasion stands at 4,000, up to three times as many Iraqi soldiers have died - and the number of civilians killed runs into tens and probably hundreds of thousands. The icasualties.org Web site, based only on published reports, shows that around 8,000 members of the Iraqi security forces have died since the March 2003 invasion. Last year, however, the Iraqi government put the figure at 12,000.

There is no agreement when it comes to civilian casualties, particularly as many deaths are never reported in the media.

In January, a joint UN World Health Organization and the Iraqi government study concluded that between 104,000 and 223,000 Iraqis had died violently since the invasion.

As of March 24, the independent Iraq Body Count Web site, based solely on incidents reported by the media, suggested close to 90,000 deaths, of which over a quarter died in 2007.

At the high end of the scale, British polling institute Opinion Research Business in a report published on January 30 estimated the total number of civilian deaths at between 946,000 and 1.12 million.
