“But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings; partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.”  (Hebrews 10:32-36)

QUOTATIONS FOR THE DAY

“It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty.”  (Sir Walter Scott)

“Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.”  (Henry Ford)

“You are educated when you have the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or self-confidence.”  (Robert Frost)

“In ancient Rome, the Emperor Nero is reported to have married, at different times, two other men in wedding ceremonies.”  (in Wikipedia, under ‘Same-Sex Marriage’)

HOLLAND LEGALIZES POLYGAMY

Over the weekend, the world received the very disturbing news that a marriage among three people has been concluded in Holland. A woman was allowed to become a second wife for a married couple by means of a “cohabitation contract.” The husband says he anticipates no difficulty in the “polyamorous” relationship, since both women are bisexual, not “hetero.” “Hetero” of course, is a term of abuse invented by the gay rights lobby to disparage heterosexuals. Another term invented by the gay rights movement is “heterosexualism” which means that anyone who insists that only heterosexuality is normal is as bad as a racist.

Holland was the first nation to legalize same-sex marriage, despite the outcry among the public that an effort to end “discrimination” in marriage on the basis of sexual orientation, would quickly lead to a call to end “discrimination” in marriage based on religious belief. In other words, the traditional definition of marriage would quickly collapse, and be replaced by bizarre new arrangements. That is exactly what has now happened in Holland.

Holland is currently one of four countries which allow same-sex marriages, along with Canada,  Spain, and Belgium.  by Fritz Spencer

LESBIANS CONTEMPLATE OPENING CO-OP ON THE COAST

At a recent Cooperative Development Conference in Bangor sponsored by the USDA, the Maine Department of Agriculture, and the Cooperative Development Institute, attendees from farms across the state were shocked to hear a lesbian couple loudly announce that they were contemplating opening a lesbian cooperative/ farm/commune in the Midcoast region. The purpose of the co-op would be to provide independent living for a number of lesbians in their later years, since lesbians lack the family support network of heterosexuals. The lesbian “couple” were quite open about their sexual orientation, and both wore buttons reading “Old ….s Home” [offensive term deleted] which is their name for the planned lesbian co-op/commune.  by Fritz Spencer

COALITION FOR MARRIAGE TO DOCUMENT INTIMIDATION BY GAY RIGHTS ACTIVISTS

More and more Mainers are waking up to the fact that the battle over gay rights is not being played on a level playing field. The Coalition for Marriage has decided to start documenting cases of intimidation so that the public will see that the other side is not really interested in a good faith effort to persuade the public about the merits of the recently passed gay rights law. Instead, the opponents of the traditional definition of marriage are all too willing to resort to intimidation and coercion. Just recently the League received a request from a college student in Lewiston for help in presenting the pro-family side of the story. The student declined to leave his name with the League for fear of reprisal. During the signature-gathering campaign for the Peoples Veto, the League received numerous calls from people who said they were reluctant to sign our petition for fear of reprisal at work. 

During the signature-gathering campaign one petition circulator was physically attacked. After The RECORD exposed the relationship between the gay rights movement and the effort to banish the Boy Scouts from the Portland school system, our website was hacked, and replaced with pornography and obscenities. Months before this happened, the sign outside our office in Augusta was smeared with red paint, the word “666,” and an upside-down cross. This is not to mention the bomb threat which resulted in the house of one prominent pro-family activist being evacuated and thoroughly searched by the police.  Strange behavior indeed by people who say they are family-friendly, and only interested in justice and fairness!  by Fritz Spencer

HOLLAND LEGALIZES MERCY KILLING OF CHILDREN

In a continuing commitment to the Ideology of Evil, which includes homosexual marriage, abortion on demand, and now polygamy, the once great nation of Holland is legalizing the killing of terminally ill children - with the approval of two doctors and both parents of course! 

Currently, two thousand people are killed each year by Dutch physicians under the name of “mercy killing.” In a move reminiscent of the elitist push for gay rights and gay marriage in Maine, the Dutch government is extending the privilege of mercy killing to children by an administrative order of the government, without a vote by the Dutch parliament. To ensure that there are no abuses, euthanasia committees will be established throughout Holland to determine which child lives and which child dies.

The only other county which allows doctors to kill their patients is – you guessed it – Belgium - the second nation to legalize homosexual marriages after Holland.

Of course, some Dutch and Belgian citizens are understandably worried about the effect homosexual marriage, abortion on demand, and euthanizing children will have on their rapidly declining population, but others are convinced that it is all part of the price of having a “progressive” “tolerant” and “inclusive” government committed to a diversity of opinions.  -  by Fritz Spencer
