This election season, some friends of mine have made a project of reporting on the actual pro-abortion, pro-gay views and activities of a candidate. The husband in this husband and wife team researched the candidate’s positions on abortion and same sex unions. He wrote up a flyer, reporting this information. The wife translated the flyer into Spanish. Together, they went to the Catholic Church the candidate attended, and posted the flyers on the windshields of cars that were parked on PUBLIC PROPERTY near the Church. The candidate and her supporters, including the parish priest, as I understand it, were outraged. They ripped the flyers off the cars, and were generally rude to my friends.
Here is what I don’t understand: if you hold pro-abortion, pro-gay views, why don’t you tell your constiuents about this? Why wasn’t the candidate delighted that my friends were acurately informing the public about her views? Why is she running for office in a working class Hispanic district, if she doesn’t share the views of her constituents? My preference would be for her to tell people what she stands for, and let the chips fall where they may. I wonder why this isnt’ her preference and procedure as well. In other words, being pro-abortion and pro-gay is evidently, something to hide in some districts.
And for all my Friends with Wrong Ideas who read this post all the way to the end to see if I am violating my non-profit status by unlawfully endorsing candidates, I have one thing to say.
Ha! Made you look!!!
