Gay And Gutless But Not Gone

By Doug Wrenn

May 29, 2007

Ah! Summer! Short sleeves, vacation, flowers blooming, birds chirping, beaches, parks, picnics, softball games, good times, relaxation, warmth, and last but not least, even our legislators in the General(ly) Jack-(Ass)embly will take a break for a while. When government pauses, liberty flourishes, especially in this socialist state of insanity. Looking back, it's been a heck of a session, especially where liberty, as well as decency is concerned. With any luck, maybe even Governor Rell, the best Republican the Democrats ever owned, having surpassed her own quota of doing damage to our state, will go hibernate in Brookfield for a while with her family, gleefully riding ATVs and playing Army with military surplus gear for the rest of the summer, or at least until the flies die and the snow flies. The "Ethics Queen's" right hand, Lisa "The Arm" Moody may appear to be out of work for the season, having no one to implicate in a scandal for a while, but rumor has it she has a part time gig in an even warmer climate, making pitch forks down south…. very south. Apparently, her boss, another "fallen angel," is currently behind in production and is anticipating a bumper crop of "Corrupticut" elected officials in the coming session. (Rumor has it that "The Arm" put the arm on The Prince of Darkness, himself to buy a ticket already for the Guv's next campaign shindig! The Prince of Darkness will have a front row seat to view The Queen Of Ethics, although they are already well acquainted.) To our gay, although now "less-than-happy" foes from the faction waving rainbow banners, I say, "Don't go away mad, just go away permanently," but I'm not holding my breath in that regard.

I don't ever again want to hear any gay or lesbian Nutmegger whine about "fairness" or "equality." They are hypocrites! What transpired under the big and rightfully tarnished dome this past session was more of a charade than a crusade. I put the crux of this blame on our liberal legislators, and particularly two of them, Judiciary Committee Co-Chairmen Michael Lawlor and Andrew McDonald, with their personal and biased agenda, but secondarily to all their minions who either aggressively or passively supported this utter tyranny for the sake of depraved dysfunction.

The kangaroo court conducted during the public hearing on gay marriage was atrocious. First, the fact that two openly gay legislators, Lawlor and McDonald both chaired this abomination is itself, an abomination to any semblance of objectivity. Had two God-fearing, church-attending, Bible-thumping, highly principled, Catholic Conservative Republicans (yes, there are still one or two still barely surviving in the legislature) been occupying both seats as Co-Chairmen, the Passion would be repeated, but this time, not on the "Hill of The Skull," but rather, under the big tarnished dome.

The biased agenda of Lawlor & McDonald, AKA: "Mutt & Jeff" was beyond obvious. It was arrogantly conspicuous. They were extremely warm and conversational with their gay cronies, reminiscing old times and exchanging yuck-yucks ad nauseum. These love-fest-like exchanges were so sickening I was surprised that Mutt & Jeff didn't pause to pop in a breath mint. Yet when opponents of the proposal wished to speak, the gatekeepers of gay marriage changed hats and were now diligent and even strict timekeepers of tyranny, suddenly and precisely limiting debate. When Brian Brown, President of the Family Institute of Connecticut (FIC), spoke, his controversial testimony later made nationwide news as he was grilled by Lawlor and Democrat Senator Edwin Gomes of Bridgeport (by his own admission, also supposedly a Catholic) regarding his Catholic faith as a distraction to the issue or to somehow implicate religious bias and thus impugn his credibility. The scene was just short of another crucifixion, and the questions asked, and the tone with which they were asked would never have been asked by these gutless, coreless, politically correct cowards, had a Muslim been in front of them instead of a Catholic.

The pro-gay side claimed that this is what the people wanted. That's interesting when you consider that even erroneous and drastically exaggerated statistics of the percentage of gays in the US population are 10% at best, with the true numbers, many believe to be much lower into the single digit range. In the course of this farce called a debate, many voices from the pro-family side, including Senate Minority Leader Louis DeLuca, suggested a non-binding referendum. That would have been the perfect scenario. Our state's Constitution does not provide for the form of government known as "initiative and referendum," like in some of the western states, but a non-binding referendum would have no attached mandate and would simply show where the yays and nays existed. For those who do their best work from within the shadows, that disturbing little revelation is called sunlight. When called out into the middle of the street at high noon, the purveyors and panderers of propaganda and perversion stayed safely inside, huddled in the saloon. So much for even "whiskey courage."

Then all of a sudden, POOF! The whole gay marriage issue popped, like a kid just stuck a pin in a balloon. The Judases of the so-called "Judiciary" Committee claimed (and rightfully so) that they didn't have enough support on the floor, although the bill did pass in committee by a vote of 27-15. Don't cash in those silver coins just yet, folks (But please, by all means, feel free to go hang yourselves!). Lawlor already hinted that this issue would return to the capitol. No doubt. And again to his much deserved credit, Senator DeLuca as well as other opponents to this legislation have since openly pondered why this bill tends to mysteriously surface in odd years, or in other words, in the years in which state legislators are not up for reelection. Despite the fact that this notion is raised both rhetorically and facetiously, everyone pretty much knows the answer. We can only get oysters in months with an "R" in them because that's natural science. Odd bills for odd causes only come up in odd years because they are being proposed by gutless political hacks, abusing their power to usurp the will of the people and dictatorially impose their own narcissistic hedonism, and that's no rocket science. Had Mutt & Jeff earnestly believed that they had the majority of the people on their side, they would not fear the risk of losing their cherished sinecures in even numbered years. And shame on you among the electorate, whose memories for "American Idol" is far better than for your own district's Connecticut legislator. Your ignorance, apathy, inattentiveness and forgetfulness are the nourishing fertilizer in liberal soil. Pay a little less attention to what Rosie said yesterday and a lot more attention to what your elected officials say today. Your preciously coveted sports page is only one section of the newspaper, and like it or not, what the Yankees or Red Sox do or don't do today will have absolutely no impact on your life tomorrow, much unlike these inept predators who you people blindly elect, reelect and forget about, for those of you who even bother to vote at all.

The only credit I will give to Senator Andrew McDonald is that he has some sense of humility. He is not a leech of the spotlight like his sidekick, "Representative" (of only some citizens) Lawlor. While I don't agree with McDonald's tactics, commentary or ideology, on other issues he pretty much shuts his mouth, plugs along and does his job, and usually without a lot of noise and fanfare. Lawlor, however, never found a camera or microphone he didn't like. That is why we know about him and his issues, such as his endeavors of trying to make Catholic priests reveal confessions of penitents, thwarting stronger sentences for child molesters, advancing civil unions, (and the inevitable and previously predicted) gay marriage, criminalizing gun owners for not reporting a gun theft within 72 hours of when they should have known the gun was stolen by no defined standard, and most recently, the recently passed bill in The House Of "Reprehensibles" that legally encourages a "caretaker" to purchase marijuana from the corner drug dealer for a sick family member's alleged "medicinal use," or to grow four marijuana plants at home for the same reason. Yet this bloodsucker of humanity had the unmitigated gall to react to a billboard erected by the FIC and its supporters in his district as an act by "out of town extremists." Hey pal, in town or out of town, as long as we "extremists" reside in the state of Connecticut, which you allegedly represent, we still pay your salary, at least for now. Like it or not, you represent all the citizens of Connecticut, friend and foe alike. Bearing in mind the sage adage that "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it," juxtaposed against the fact that Corrupticut lawmakers are up for reelection every two years, I would say to the predominantly middle class, Catholic voters of mostly Italian and some Irish descent in East Haven's 99th District, you folks better stop hitting the snooze alarm every two years and finally wake up. I can only believe that Lawlor's odd-numbered year antics and voter apathy, if not voter hibernation, are the only keys to the electoral success of this degenerate societal menace to the rule of law, common sense and common decency. Even former state senator and radio host Tom Scott, who knew and served with Lawlor referred to the former state prosecutor as one friendly to criminals and always willing to make a deal. Little has changed since Lawlor changed jobs.

Lawlor publicly sided with the supporters of Malik Jones, a well known street thug, who in April of 1997, engaged East Haven police in a high speed pursuit (and not his first) into New Haven and then turned his car around to run down then East Haven police officer, Robert Flodquist, who was on foot at the time, and who subsequently shot and killed Jones in self defense. Poor Malik. Hardly "citizen of the year," with a previous rap sheet, he was also apparently no genius. He brought a car to a gunfight and lost. But all Lawlor, an opponent of police pursuits, saw was that evil, law enforcement must have erred because a white cop killed a black perp. It's a simple rule, really; see the pretty red and blue flashing lights in your rearview mirror, pull over and stop. Debate over. Handcuffs do belong on good cops trying to protect us, but to be worn on their belts, not on their wrists. Malik Jones never had to die, but he defiantly created his own demise by forcing a cop to save his own life and simultaneously do society the favor of pest control. One pest is now off the street for good. Come Election Day, 2008, a year in which we will undoubtedly not hear about gay marriage, voters in the 99th District should (electorally) remove another pest from the state Capitol, and hopefully, also for good.

To understand the gay issue, we must first understand that it is a liberal issue. Bearing that in mind, unfairness and inequality makes sense. These are the folks who shut off microphones of their (few) pro-life speakers, steal and vandalize conservative newspapers on college campuses, throw pies into the faces of conservative speakers or try to shout them down, and are currently trying to shut down conservative talk radio. These lovers of the First Amendment only seem to wish to preserve freedom of speech if it involves pornography, flag burning, publicly funded (Christian) religious desecration dubbed "art" and anytime when the liberal agenda is forwarded. When they lose, they want to quickly pack up, head home and destroy our culture in some other innovative way. These cretins cannot win via a debate of logic and ideas and time and again they demonstrate their abject fear of it. They thrive on lies and strategic sound bites. Mutt & Jeff are the poster children of those tactics. Ironically, Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Prince of Propaganda, himself, would be proud, although I tend to doubt that if Joey G. was still around and kicking today, Lawlor and McDonald would. Check out FIC's web site at: www.ctfamily.org to see how pro-family advocates give an open forum to advocates of the gay agenda, who respond in kind, not with reason and civil debate, but with frequent vitriol, sarcasm, and ridicule, intended to stifle, not foster dialogue. These bastard children of the First Amendment are what Lawlor considers "non-extremists." In military parlance, these gutless cowards know their own weakness, so instead of joining the front line of battle, they commit (the diluted blog version of) hit and run terrorist acts, and sometimes even from behind the cover of pseudonyms, no less. These are the proponents of gay marriage, who invoke tolerance while really meaning tyranny and protest to be treated equally while they deny the same equality to others in much the same way that some of our forefathers helped us procure our freedom from then Mother England, while they still kept slaves in bondage and indentured to the family farm for their own selfish and immoral purposes.

Rest assured that the ongoing soap opera of "The Gay And The Gutless" will likely return in another season ending in an odd numbered year. That event will be as inevitable as the return of oysters to the marketplace in September. The same arguments will most likely be advanced, and the same tactics will likely be implored by the usual suspects and the same gang of all too familiar names and faces that are beginning to collectively resemble a club. In short, probably little, if anything will change, Corrupticut being Corrupticut. From this past performance, Mutt & Jeff should both be brought up on ethics charges for their abusive actions against the people of the state of Connecticut, but this is, after all, "Liberal Corrupticut" and not Fantasy Island, so that plane just won't fly. As long as we are mentioning oysters, however, if even only in passing, I would like to offer one little "pearl of wisdom" to Lawlor and McDonald: just once, fellows, please surprise us. Show at least some remote semblance of real fairness, and sincere decency and even just a smidgeon of guts. At least pretend that you are actually ethical officials of the sacred public trust, and not just a couple of bought and paid for hacks of the gay lobby and blinder-wearing slaves to your own personal sexual disorders. In short, put your sodomy where your mouth is.

We'll see you again for the next round in '09, boys. Pack a lunch!
