Portland Potty Planners? Move Over American Standard...

Thanks to The Mercury, we find out that Commissioner Randy Leonard, of the Portland Rainbow City Council, is going to design, with the help of the toilet designers at the water bureau (?!) street "pissoirs."
Apparently the folks at American Standard, Coors, and Toto were unavailable for the job of Potty Planner. And these bad boys are a bargain! Only $500,000.00! As I often maintain: we have more planners than police...and more dollars than sense.
This is what pissoirs look like in cities that have used them.
Women need not attempt to use these, it goes without saying.



I know these guys are working so hard at looking "european" with our tax dollars, but if they're just trying to get away from using city hall for the 24 hour toilet where an average of two persons a night use it for an average cost of $83.00 per potty, wouldn't it just make sense to use these?

Portland Attracts Another "Offbeat" Bunch of Folks

Offbeat is how Portland's Pet Pervert described why he came here. Now a white supremest group is collecting here in the People's Republic for a white people music festival or some such thing. KGW has the story here.

One of the nation's largest white supremacy groups is descending on Portland. The Hammerskin Nation is planning to hold it's annual Hammerfest music festival somewhere in Portland October 5-7.

It's interesting, the cops won't say where the white people will have their white people music fest.
One question: why do we keep attracting the nuts?
Is it because it's sooo liberal here that these guys want to thumb their noses at P town?

Tax Abatements Come Home to Roost

The Tax Abatements and other planning tricks are coming home to roost in the
way of high housing prices...and a void...where the money for schools would
have been.
Portland City Commissioner Erik Sten affirms yet again (memo here) that in their zeal to build up the downtown of Portland with condos, light rail, tax abatements and street cars, there isn't enough money for the other parts of town.
When you essentially pay people to move to the area (via abatements to developers) and then finance with tax increment financing which takes the cream off the top of property taxes that would otherwise go for schools, fire and police, what do you expect? Did you expect 'the little people' not to notice after awhile?
TAO and Don Mc Intire have been telling you for YEARS--AT LEAST A DECADE--this would be the impact. You didn't listen because he's a right wing wacko? He was right about the unfunded Police and Fire retirement and disability fund, too, wasn't he?
Sten is calling for the River District Urban Renewal District to hopscotch all the way to outer southeast so they can use those funds to help build utopia in the southeast area. In other words he wants to complicate a problem already caused by urban renewal financing by making the urban renewal district larger...to mitigate the
problem caused by the urban renewal district in the first place.
Sten is in favor of the city taking over the schools...he's said this
before...and to pay the poor to come to Portland or to stay in Portland
because their planning has forced them out.
"The intense attention rightly focused on maintaining a healthy downtown—let’s not forget how unprecedented and novel Portland’s original successes were in this regard—has yielded such a robust engine of real estate development that its side effects have grown into problems of considerable scale.
In sum, the prosperity of the past decade has been uneven. Some of the central city’s successes have come at the expense of Outer East Portland. That kind of dynamic undermines support for urban renewal in general. We need to take major steps to begin to acknowledge that we are all one city. We share the responsibility to solve our problems, and we should create a new kind of urban renewal strategy to match."

Vote No on Measure 49

Agenda... we ain't got no stinking agenda...
That's what the Zero's editorial writers would like you to believe.
After being scooped -again-this time by the Wall Street Journal on the clothesline controversy...you know the Bend woman we talked to last week who wants to hang out her laundry...
Well ..Oregon's newspaper of record---the ZERO...said Tuesday...quote:
"We revere property law."
At the same time it runs a series of stories on Measure 49...a measure written to DEPRIVE you of your property laws...and doesn't bat an eyelash. You know what this is...this is one of those cases where they pat the head of the laundry hanging suburban wife and her kindred and say...you can have your clothesline, honey, but don't worry your pretty little head about the RIGHTS YOU HAVE TO THE LAND THE CLOTHESLINE SITS ON! That's right...just be quiet ...and go lie down by your bowl! Measure 49 is a land steal by the Oregon state legislature to REPEAL measure 37...because it gave you the rights you on your property when you bought it or got it. Measure 37 gave those rights back to you; Measure 49—the repeal of the law—takes the vast majority of your own property rights from you.
It's as basic as that. State Senator Jason Atkinson gives a great analysis of the two measures here. Voters have voted twice to give people land owners payment if the government takes it. Voters understand this because it’s fair. It's a fifth amendment right in the US constitution...preventing a takings without just compensation but to the planning poohbahs...your rights don't exist.
Their plans trump the constitution.
It's arrogant...and these thieves get backed up by the so-called newspaper
of record The Zero is story after story. Earlier this week there was the usual scare story about shopping centers that would be placed in nowheresville Oregon and similar urban myths---and you don't find out until the jump page in the 20th paragraph that professors at Portland State University think that IT IS highly unlikely because of market forces. That’s right, they acknowledge it wouldn’t be in the land owners’ interest to build in the middle of nowheresville BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CUSTOMERS THERE.
So...the Zero's reporters don't think it's important enough to tell you that if the market wouldn't support a shopping center in the middle of a strawberry field in nowheresville that you-mr and mrs. Land Owner WOULDN'T BUILD IT BECAUSE IT’S NOT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST.
These guys stole Measure 37 from the voters-it passed by 61% of the vote
Rewrote it, claim transferability—but there’s no language in the measure that allows it, took out your rights, put curbs on what you could do with your, land just like before ...and then had the audacity to say they were fixing measure 37.
I want to know...how you will vote on Measure 49...yes or no.

Vote NO on M 49.

By the way, I have no measure 37 claim and no dog in this fight except that as an American I believe in property rights.
And for you naysayers, I do believe in zoning. In fact I believe in it so much that I believe local jurisdictions should be able to zone strip clubs away from schools—but apparently planners think that situation’s just fine.

George Soros, Inc.

George Soros doesn't like America until it's remade into his own image. But the way in which he's going about it is to fund anti American causes. Investor's Business Daily has been doing a series on Soros (find it HERE). You may think IBD is conservative--and you're right--its editorial pages certainly are but lookie what George has been up to.
We all know he helped midwife Moveon.org, ACT, A.C.O.R.N with his Open Society Institute and Tides Foundation (one of Theresa Heinz Kerry's favorite charities) but IBD also points out his help to eco terror outfits and:

How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute , which gave him "legal and media advice"?
That's right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros' flagship "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI's "politicization of science" program.
Didn't the mainstream media report that 2006's vast immigration rallies across the country began as a spontaneous uprising of 2 million angry Mexican-flag waving illegal immigrants demanding U.S. citizenship in Los Angeles, egged on only by a local Spanish-language radio announcer?
Turns out that wasn't what happened, either. Soros' OSI had money-muscle there, too, through its $17 million Justice Fund. The fund lists 19 projects in 2006. One was vaguely described involvement in the immigration rallies. Another project funded illegal immigrant activist groups for subsequent court cases.
Do people know last year's Supreme Court ruling abolishing special military commissions for terrorists at Guantanamo was a Soros project? OSI gave support to Georgetown lawyers in 2006 to win Hamdan v. Rumsfeld — for the terrorists.
OSI also gave cash to other radicals who pressured the Transportation Security Administration to scrap a program called "Secure Flight," which matched flight passenger lists with terrorist names. It gave more cash to other left-wing lawyers who persuaded a Texas judge to block cell phone tracking of terrorists.
They trumpeted this as a victory for civil liberties. Feel safer?
Soros' "shaping public policies," as OSI calls it, is not illegal. But it's a problem for democracy because it drives issues with cash and then only lets the public know about it after it's old news.
That means the public makes decisions about issues without understanding the special agendas of groups behind them.

Open Thread Weekend....

From Alert Listener Mark:

Hillary Clinton: I'm not a lesbian

---

Friday, September 21st 2007, 4:00 AM

---

Hillary Clinton has publicly announced that she is not a lesbian.

---

Hillary Clinton officially declared she's not a lesbian - not that there's anything wrong with that.

During an interview with The Advocate to be published next week, Sean Kennedy, the gay magazine's news and features editor, asked the presidential candidate, "How do you respond to the occasional rumor that you're a lesbian?"

"People say a lot of things about me, so I really don't pay any attention to it," Sen. Clinton (D-N.Y.) replied.

"It's not true, but it is something that I have no control over. People will say what they want to say."

Kennedy told the Daily News he's convinced. "I 100% believe she's a straight, heterosexual woman," he said.

Charges are Dropped: Where Do the Marines Go to get their Reputations Back?

Not to Congressman Jack Murtha who called them terrorists and killers.
"It [Haditha, Marines] is as bad as Abu Ghraib, if not worse."(Murtha, May 2006)"... they [Marines] killed innocent civilians in cold blood."(Murtha, May 17, 2006 at news conference)

The prosecutions of Marines involved in the case have slowly unravelled, however.
Capt McConnell and another officer, Captain Randy Stone, have both had charges of failing to investigate the killing withdrawn.
Two soldiers originally charged with murder in the case have also been cleared, while an investigating officer has recommended that charges against a third soldier are also dropped.
That would leave only one soldier, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, facing murder charges in connection with the deaths.

Sam Adams' Mark Foley Scandal? Zero Tries to Salvage Adams, Savage Accuser *With Update!

Underage intern? Check.
Lunches? Check.
Out of office liaisons? Check.
Gay love? Check.
Text messages? Check.
Inappropriate? If you're former Congressman Mark Foley the answer is 'yes.' If you're St. Sam, not so much.

I like Sam Adams very much. Don't like his politics, but he knows that.
But I think it's extraordinary that the Zero, the so called newspaper of record, goes out of its way Tuesday (here) to block for Sam Adams while the City Commissioner mulls over his possible bid for mayor. Well, at least it didn't bury the story like it did for Goldschmidt and Kulongoski here.
The story goes that well connected Pearl District developer (and Portland reserve officer) Bob Ball, had heard that Sam had a 'relationship' with a 17 year old legislative intern whom he'd met while on a lobbying trip to Salem.

It was among the most potentially damaging accusations that could be leveled against a gay politician, particularly one as high profile and ambitious as Adams. And it was coming from another gay man who also was thinking about running for the city's top job.

The problem: The story Ball told about Adams and a 17-year-old legislative intern isn't true, according to both Adams and the young man. Adams acknowledges trying to be a mentor, including exchanging numerous phone calls and text messages with the young man over several months in summer 2005.

Isn't true? Is that the benefit of the doubt that would be given to another politician of a more conservative bent? Should we trust the Zero to get the story straight? What political dog does the Zero have in this fight that it would stake its reputation on that of a politician? In its previous story, the Zero has made it clear that Adams is its choice for mayor. That it bagged on Ball; blaming him for rumor mongering is odd.

The Zero is clearly attempting to defuse a political cluster bomb AND do a double job: salvage its candidate and savage his accuser.

Here's what Willamette Week has to say about it. And here's Sam's response to Portlanders today.

Dear Portlander,

As you have probably seen in the media, I have been the target of a nasty
smear by a would-be political opponent. I will not dignify the substance of
this smear by repeating it - if you read the accounts you will see there is
no foundation to it. The reason is simple: it is untrue.

This kind of ugly politicking may be commonplace in other cities and at the
national level, but Portland and Oregon largely has been blessedly free of
it. It saddens me that it has been introduced here, and I have faith that
Portlanders' rejection of it will mean that this incident is an anomaly.

About this attempted smear, here is what I want to say.

I have in the past, and I will in the future, respond to people who reach
out to me for help and advice. This is especially true when it comes to
young people.

Growing up in Newport and Eugene, Oregon I remember when I was a teenager
and I had nobody who I felt I could talk to at a time I desperately needed
someone to give me advice and perspective about coming to terms with being
gay. I came through it. Not everyone does.

Gay youth suicide rates, homelessness and depression are still too high.
And, adequate services have been lacking: Reasons why I co-founded
Portland's Q Center, served on the Boards of Cascade AIDS Project, Basic
Right Oregon and lobbied the state legislature in support of statewide
non-discrimination laws.

I didn't get into public life to allow my instinct to help others to be
snuffed out by fear of sleazy misrepresentations or political manipulation.
I understand the need for good judgment, and I work very hard to keep within
the bounds of propriety -- as I did in this case.

I'm glad that people consider me as a person they could come to for help,
understanding and support. I work at it. And I hope that you do too.
Local programs needing mentors have long waiting lists.

About my political future: this attempted smear will not deter me from
serving Portland in the best way I know how. Soon I will be with sharing
with you my future political plans.

With warm regards,

Sam

Al Qaeda in Iraq BEFORE the War: A Reminder

So a friend sent me the phony baloney Ollie North/UBL story again here. I wrote her back saying, "No it was Abu Nidal, for goodness' sake" and then mentioned that he'd been given safe haven in Iraq while on the lam from the US for the Leon Klinghoffer/Achille Lauro hijacking/murder. Anyway, it was in my efforts to verify that indeed Nidal went back to Iraq that I came across this story which has been sourced in the work of Stephen Hayes and Thomas Joscelyn. A year before we invaded Iraq, Saddam had Abu Nidal killed because the old terrorist refused to train Saddam's friends, Al Qaeda terrorists---in Baghdad. It was such an odd thing to have the constant drum beat of 'there was no al qaeda in iraq before the war' lies by the mainstream media and then see this old story in the MSM.
When they tell you Bush is lying. THEY are lying. When Move over dot kooks tell you Bush is lying THEY are not just lying; they are engaging in wholesale disinformation.
Here's the nut info from the lefty UK Daily Guardian in August of 2002:

Last week, American intelligence officials revealed that several high-ranking al-Qa'eda members had moved to northern Iraq where they had linked up with Iraqi intelligence officials.
It now transpires that Saddam was hoping to take advantage of Abu Nidal's presence in Baghdad to persuade him to use his considerable expertise in terrorist techniques to train al-Qa'eda fighters.
Abu Nidal, the Palestinian terrorist, was murdered on the orders of Saddam Hussein after refusing to train al-Qa'eda fighters based in Iraq, The Telegraph can reveal.
Despite claims by Iraqi officials that Abu Nidal committed suicide after being implicated in a plot to overthrow Saddam, Western diplomats now believe that he was killed for refusing to reactivate his international terrorist network.
According to reports received from Iraqi opposition groups, Abu Nidal had been in Baghdad for months as Saddam's personal guest, and was being treated for a mild form of skin cancer.
While in Baghdad, Abu Nidal, whose real name was Sabri al-Banna, came under pressure from Saddam to help train groups of al-Qa'eda fighters who moved to northern Iraq after fleeing Afghanistan. Saddam also wanted Abu Nidal to carry out attacks against the US and its allies.
When Abu Nidal refused, Saddam ordered his intelligence chiefs to assassinate him. He was shot dead last weekend when Iraqi security forces burst into his apartment in central Baghdad. The body was taken to the hospital where he had had cancer treatment.
Abu Nidal worked closely with Saddam during the late 1970s and early 1980s to carry out a number of terrorist outrages in the Middle East and Europe, including the attempted assassination of the Israeli ambassador to London in 1982.
With the prospect increasing of the US launching a military campaign to overthrow Saddam, however, the Iraqi dictator was keen to combine Abu Nidal's expertise with the enthusiasm of al-Qa'eda's fanatical fighters to launch a fresh wave of terror attacks. In this way, Saddam hoped to disrupt Washington's plans to overthrow him.
The presence of al-Qa'eda fighters in Iraq has become a source of great concern in Washington.

Amnesty's Back: DREAM Act May be Voted on Next Week

From Immigration Caucus Chair Brian Bilbray's office today:
CQ Today reported this morning that "Senate Democrats plan to use the defense authorization bill next week to revive a provision from the failed immigration overhaul that would put some children of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship...Majority WHIP Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., is expected to offer an amendment to the defense bill (HR 1585) that would attach legislation (S 774) to allow children of illegal immigrants who entered the United States before age 16 and have lived here at least five years to gain conditional legal status and eventual citizenship if they attend college or join the military for at least two years."

Also reported was Senator Dianne Feinstein's, D-Calif., intentions to try and bring to the floor S 1639, which would create a guest worker program for up to 1.5 million agricultural workers.

Congressman Brian Bilbray, R-Calif., Chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus, is opposed to any proposal that would put more than 4 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship - representing close to one-third of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrant population that is currently in the United States. Regarding the agricultural workers bill - any guest-worker program that is adopted must be truly temporary where workers come from the outside in and then leave.

From FAIR

We have received reports from Congressional staffers that Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) intends to offer the DREAM Act as an amendment to the FY08 Department of Defense Authorization Bill (H.R.1585). Debate of this legislation and the Durbin Amendment is expected anytime next week! And, similar to the recent Senate Amnesty Bill, this is expected to be rushed through. Yesterday, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) held a press conference alerting the Capitol press corps to the possibility that the DREAM Act would be resurrected. Calling the bill “amnesty” he said, “We may be headed for another immigration battle.”
The DREAM Act does two things: (1) it gives an amnesty to illegal aliens who entered the country as children and have met certain educational requirements and (2) it reverses current law to allow states to provide in-state tuition to illegal aliens. There were 25 co-sponsors for the bill when it was originally introduced in March so presumably one-fourth of the Senate has already committed to the bill. We are beginning to see the wheels in motion for an all-out battle.
The Dream Act is an amnesty plan disguised as an educational initiative. Even if the children only entered as the result of their illegal alien parents, it is illegal alien parents who are rewarded when their children become eligible to receive a U.S. education paid for by taxpayer dollars and are then granted amnesty.

Oregon's Senator Smith Writes Democrat Anti War Bill

Instead of demanding end dates, pull out dates, surrender dates, Gordon Smith, on behalf of the RINOS and Democrats, is writing the bill whose agenda is to wrest "control" of the war from the GOP (? I thought the President was Commander in Chief).
From USA Today:

The Democrats' alternative to Petraeus' plan is being drafted, but Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said it would drop troop levels "significantly" and change the mission of those who remain in Iraq to focus on training Iraqi troops and protecting American diplomats.

At least one Republican senator, Gordon Smith of Oregon, is helping to draft the proposal, but Democrats will need considerably more GOP support if their bill has any chance of passage.

Here's what the US New blog says in a wrap up of the give and take of the Petraeus testimony and subsequent Bush speech in terms of war being a 'political' issue.

On NBC Nightly News, Washington bureau chief and host of Meet the Press Tim Russert said, "Petraeus solidified the base for...Bush on the Republican side. ... Both parties have lined up. The bases of their party are overwhelmingly in favor of the view being expressed by the President on the Republican side, Sen. Obama and other candidates on the Democratic side." The CBS Evening News reported Democrats "can't pass anything without Republican support..."

And Gordon Smith is writing legislation for the Democrats!? I thought we were on the same side: America's.

Never Forget 9/11/01

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I awoke with a start…then…as now…I sleep with the radio in my ear.
I ran downstairs to turn on the TV.
I turned it off when my youngest came down for breakfast…but I wouldn’t be able to hide this horror from my oldest.
She went to school downtown near all kinds of Federal Buildings …I thought about it some, decided to keep her home and called the school.
I told my youngest a little information and told her I believed school would be the best place for her that day. She could run and have fun and learn and not worry.
I’d do plenty of that for all of us.
We still didn’t really know what was going on….except that it was bad.
Would it get worse, though?
It would.
We heard about the Pentagon after that. The search for a plane that disappeared over Pennsylvania after that.
My husband was overseas and not scheduled to be on a plane that day. There was no way to get a hold of him. A friend had recently moved to Boston and traveled a great deal and I worried about him. I called their house and got the babysitter who quickly allayed my fears and then ask me why I was calling from across the country to ask. I just told her to turn on the TV.
The skies were quiet. We practically lived under the flight path of the airport.
The silence overhead was noticeable.
Within the next day I heard the F-15’s from the Oregon Air National Guard overhead. I ran outside to wave my arms to say thank you.
After that we would learn a few things that I believe some folks have forgotten in this discussion about the chaotic, complex war in Iraq and in Afghanistan.

1. We had to get Osama bin Laden
2. bin Laden had attacked US interests starting with the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993…and almost every year in the 1990’s.
3. bin Laden had declared war on the US in 1998 and stepped up attacks against us.
4. Saddam Hussein had been hosting the world’s terrorists at his nearly annual Baghdad bash.
5. He was ignoring sanctions by bribing UN officials in the Oil for Food program to get cash.
6. Saddam and Osama had a non aggression pact and working relationship in the past.
7. Saddam considered Osama bin Laden an intelligence asset
8. The Sudanese had brought together bin Laden and Saddam so Iraqi weapons specialists could impart knowledge to bin Laden and Zawahiri
9. Saddam was a bad actor in the ‘hood
10. Regime change was a stated goal for the US
11. The question became “when” not “if” UBL would gain WMD
12. Saddam was believed to have WMD since he used chemical weapons on the Kurds and Iranians. He boasted of a nuclear development program.
13. He had to go.
14. Why was Zarqawi in Baghdad before the war?
    

That’s what I know.
If nothing else…post Saddam Iraq information has only served to increase the certainty of these claims and reveal even more connections between Saddam and bad actors around the world.
The 9/ll commission said that Saddam and Osama bin Laden did not have operational connections for the 9/ll attack. They acknowledged all the other connections and said more investigation must be done to determine the extent to which these connections existed.

Potter Will Not Run for Re Election

I can't imagine why he wouldn't want to run what with his vast policy successes:
Demanding a city income tax, setting up homeless day care, more benches for bums, hiring hall for illegal aliens, tracking of taggers, not tracking terrorists, his 'vision' thing, critical mess ride, among other things. Actual Portland voters probably won't miss him. Non voters, anarchists, bums? Yeah, they'll be sorry. Could there be anyone more liberal than Potter who could replace him? Try Ho Chi Min Bragdon and Sam (choo choo train) Adams.

General Betray Us? Fruit Bats Lose it... With Update: Petraeus Says Ad is False

Move over dot nut has put a full page ad in a major paper accusing the honorable General David Petraeus of "Cooking the books for the White House."
And do you know what this means? The only news they'll believe is bad news. Think about that for a second...
The fruit bat contingent throws its lot in with the Dem leadership (Pelosi, Reid, Clyburn) saying that if the country wins the democrats lose. When you throw your lot in with a defeatist agenda like that, it's no wonder these folks cheer our country's defeat.
An excerpt:

Every independent report on the ground situation in Iraq shows that the surge strategy has failed. Yet the General claims a reduction in violence. That’s because, according to the New York Times, the Pentagon has adopted a bizarre formula for keeping tabs on violence. For example, deaths by car bombs don’t count. The Washington Post reported that assassinations only count if you’re shot in the back of the head — not the front. According to the Associated Press, there have been more civilian deaths and more American soldier deaths in the past three months than in any other summer we’ve been there. We’ll hear of neighborhoods where violence has decreased. But we won’t hear that those neighborhoods have been ethnically cleansed.

Today in testimony offered in response to a direct question about the above claim, Petraeus said about the claims, "They are false, yes."
What's move over dot nut talking about? A WaPo article last week which included this observation which countered the claim. Why didn't the following make the move over dot nut ad?
Senior U.S. officers in Baghdad disputed the accuracy and conclusions of the largely negative GAO report, which they said had adopted a flawed counting methodology used by the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Many of those conclusions were also reflected in last month's pessimistic National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq.

Here's Petraeus' violence-o-meter:

With Craig Down, a Radical Gay Blogger Goes to the Next One on His Hit List *updated

The WaPo (here) wonders if Mike Rogers isn't the most feared man on Capitol Hill. Describing himself as a gay blogger, Rogers has targeted republicans who have voted against gay marriage or pro gay measures. He calls them hypocrites. Maybe he's right or maybe these politicians really don't think same sex marriage is ok and vote against it. Either way, it doesn't matter to him he just "outs" them anyway. **updated: NewsBusters outs the hypocrisy that is Rogers here.
Here's an excerpt from the piece:

Rogers, sitting on a club chair in his Northwest Washington apartment, is basking in the attention. For three years now, he's been a feared one-man machine, "outing," he says, nearly three dozen senior political and congressional staffers, White House aides and, most damagingly, Congress members on his blog. On Capitol Hill, a typical phone call from Rogers -- "Are you gay?" he'd ask -- is "a call from Satan himself," says a former high-ranking congressional staffer whose name is on the list.

In Rogers's mind, if you're against gay rights in your public life and you live a secret homosexual life, all bets are off.

In 2004, one of the first public officials he targeted was then-Virginia congressman Ed Schrock because of his voting record on such issues as gays in the military, same-sex marriage and gay adoption.

He started in on Craig last October, targeted Mark Foley before that.
Do you think at some point that this guy will be outed, if you will, for being a hateful 'thought crime' cop who, while writing and listing republicans whom he thinks are gay, would never support outing gay democrats who voted against another pet piece of legislation? Would he support listing the names of people who are HIV positive like they do folks with other people carrying life threatening, communicable diseases?
Oh wait, gays actually provide a "Little Black Book" which instructs gays on how to find sex in toilet stalls, parks, and other places. I'm sorry, can you spell hypocrisy?
Here's an excerpt from the cruising for sex manual provided by gay activists:
Make sure that anyone you have sex with is over the age of consent.

If you cruise in parks, bathrooms or other spaces open to public view, trust your instincts, be aware of your surroundings -- and know your rights. While Lambda Legal and other groups are fighting against the ways police target men who have sex with men, having sex where others might see you and take offense can subject you to arrest, publicity and other serious consequences. If you feel unsafe, you should leave.
Having sex with a minor is a serious crime with heavy punishment.
