Maine Somali's: Hospital 'johnny' redesigned because of Somalis' complaints
boston.com ^ | 8-8-04 | David Sharp

PORTLAND, Maine -- Everyone who has been hospitalized or has undergone an outpatient procedure knows -- and probably loathes -- the skimpy, ill-fitting, one-size-fits-none hospital gown.

Maine Medical Center finally decided to do something about it upon discovering that Muslim women accustomed to being fully covered were skipping appointments to avoid the immodest garments.

Re:

" They have an expensive interpreter that goes with them. Funded by Maine of course."


Don't the hospitals have about 20 minutes to come up with an interpreter for whoever / whatever walks through the ER door, regardless of whatever language they speak, or they get sued for a couple of million bucks?

No doubt us taxpayers foot their Lawyers bills (unless they're suing on contingency) as the costs for interpreters, settlements, etc. are passed on down to the paying patients and insurance carriers, who in turn pass those costs on to...
well; you know the routine.

How long before all of the female Nurses at ME Med will have to work in burquas so as not to "offend" their Muslim patients? I'm sure their dieticians have to provide a lot of "on the house" Islamicly Kosher meals for them, too - or else.

Do they demand a private room if expected to share a room with an "Infidel"?
I'll bet they get it, too - especially if said roomie is a despised member of the House of Israel!
Just let one of us yankee infidels complain about a Mooslim roomie who's making us nervous, and see what happens;

"Get used to it, you biggott!"

Are the Islamic johnnies issued only to the annointed ones, with us infidels still required to don the old "Crack-Back" fanny-flappers?

Racial profiling seems to be quite OK in Maine - as long as it's white Christian or Jewish Mainers who are the "butt" (pun intended, of course) of such discrimination.

You don't suppose they are not so concerned about concealing their sacred buttocks as they are the belt-bombs stapped around their waists, do you?
How many "Holy Hand Grenades" are they allowed per patient?

If someone in the area wants to (or dares to), keep an eye on the immigrant Somalis come November, and see how many of them VOTE - and how often.

I'd be looking for school-bus loads of them making the rounds of area voting places, perhaps registering at a few diverse locations under different somali names.

And God (or a darned sharp Lawyer) help anyone who asks any questions about it or hesitates to hand them a ballot!

Didn't De Gubnah Baldacci decree that no State Employee or agent can even ASK about someone's citizenship status in Maine? That goes for election officials too, doesn't it? November, I opine, is when all of these immigrants and "refugees" get to return all of the many generous favors to the Maine Democratic Party.
And I reckon many if not most of them probably will.

How about wearing a black T-shirt with "INF" enblazoned on front and back under your shirt when you vote.

AFTER voting, pull your shirt off and just hang around, eying any suspicious "voters" suspiciously, and let us know how long before the cop throws you out?

I'd guess it'd average about 7 minutes at best.

How many voting places around Lewiston can you pull this stunt off in before getting a free ride to the County Hoosegow?

Visiting a Military "Surplus" store in Scarborough recently, I found a large display of such T-shirts with "ATF Agent", "FBI" etc.. but NO "INF".
Hmmm...; I wonder if they're on to us already?

If I can find such attire (I can't imagine people dont' get busted for "Impersonating" by wearing all this phony "NYPD/FD" stuff, but they don't seem to be bothered) I might just have to try it myself!

Hmmm... I wonder if "Aunt Martha" would come bail me out?

Oh well; if we can't stop 'em from stealing our state, at least we can irritate them a little while they do, eh?

And if they want to try to intimidate us for it, as I suppose they might - they'll do so at their own bloody peril.
After all; the danged yuppies have yet to disarm Maine completely (Give 'em time...) and it seems that there are yet a few hard-headed Yankees remaining who don't intimidate all that well.

I'll bet you might know one or two of 'em, too.

I'm very concerned about this.  I am sure that when they arrived on Maine soil, they were taken by the hands to the Registration so they will all be assured to vote Rat.

I'd be looking for school-bus loads of them making the rounds of area voting places, perhaps registering at a few diverse locations under different Somali names.

PLEASE!  Anyone down around that area on Election Day........please have your eyes open.  You can't miss these people by the way they dress.

Didn't De Gubnah Baldacci decree that no State Employee or agent can even ASK about someone's citizenship status in Maine? 
Yes. That goes for election officials too, doesn't it? November, I opine, is when all of these immigrants and "refugees" get to return all of the many generous favors to the Maine Democratic Party.

Oh yes.  Especially since Maine's Rat Government has housed the Somali's in the finest of ranch houses!

That's what I said:  when they first came to Maine, there was a lot of negative press about them.  All of a sudden, the negative press stopped.  It's like "Hush this up NOW."

Maine bringing in a Somali language teacher to teach OUR high schoolers how to speak Somali.

The fights in the High School between our teens and the Somali teens.

The Somali women raiding the Shelter of all diapers.  When one of our own goes in for diapers for her little blond baby, there are no diapers to be found.

Maine lawmakers want to purchase 'chickens' for the Somali's to breed.  I don't know if this ever transpired.  No one in southern Maine will speak out about this.  And the newspapers sure won't!

And if they want to try to intimidate us for it, as I suppose they might - they'll do so at their own bloody peril.

Oh, Yeah:

"... "I'm so happy they made the change. I'm so happy that they considered us," she said, speaking through an interpreter."

But not so blasted "grateful" that she's going to be bothered to learn ENGLISH or PAY her blooming MEDICAL BILLS, IS SHE!!!???

"... But for many situations, it makes sense to keep patients happy."

But ONLY if they are Muslim, apparently.
Us Infidels (especially Americans) can go to hell with our tushies hanging out!

The next time I have to go to the horsepittle, I'm gonna DEMAND a Somali gown; So mebbie I don't want MY flabby white yankee infidel arse hanging out all over the joint either, eh?

And if they even START to give me any Shiite about it, I'm gonna scream "DISCRIMINATIONNNNN!!!!!" so loud that they'll hear it up in Maternity.

Of course, I'll probably be spending my entire visit under the care of Dr. Abdib Jibjabb, the guy with the big purple turban who only smiles when he's pulling on the rubber gloves and greasing up the rusty old speculum for the daily prostate exam...

"But Doc; I'm only in here for my bunions!!" *~{8^{Q~
(he says, writhing in his tightly bound, ethnically-approved straight-jacket)...

Another story I read two years ago: a Somali woman and her kids were living in a small apartment in Atlanta. Her girl friend in Lewiston told her to come to Maine. That they were living in a beautiful big ranch house.

The woman and her family beat it to Maine.

Grabs your heart, don't it?!

Re:

"They can do this??"

Just try it, and see if they don't!

BTW; it might be "INS" for "Immigration and Naturalization Service"...(?)

It might not be a bad idea to have some backup waiting outside with a discretely hidden video camera to record what happens, or to put fellow team - members wise to a busload of Herr Baldaccis' constituents headed out to their next stop via radio or cell-phone.

Do NOT rely on "officials" to monitor polling places for fraud! Not in this State, anyway.
I for one am sure that Collins and Snowe will see to it that no "real" INS Agents are anywhere NEAR Maine!

If we want to hold our State - or what's left of it - any longer, much less take it back from those who are plundering and spoiling it, we are going to have to get off of our duffs and get organized, folks.

Before it's too late... if it isn't already.

Remember the legendary "Vigilance Committees" of the old West who took care of things when the "officials" were too corrupt or inept to keep the Peace?

Well, it isn't just about hanging horse-thieves, ya know - and the concept (short of lynching and that sort of thing, of course) may yet have some merit in a "free" society.

All the socialists / islammonazis need to steal our State is for us to let 'em.

Perhaps we already have.

It makes me very suspicious when Lib lawmaker's work to bring in a tribe of immigrants. You know that the immigrants are made U.S. Citizens and are registered to vote within the first week they are here.

More votes for the Rats.

If they can't win one way, they will win the other.

I'm too far north, Uncle Jaque, to do any good down there.

I hope you can pump up other FReepers in southern Maine to help out with this. Do you know any of them personally?

Did you see this?

The Great Somali Welfare Hunt

The deconstruction of America is well underway

The latest community to enjoy the delights of Third World mass immigration is Lewiston, Maine, which, since February 2001, has been the destination for hundreds of Somali Muslims. The first Muslim to arrive in the town actually got there in May 1965, but his stay was brief. He was there to fight Sonny Liston in a rematch. The year before, as Cassius Clay, he took Liston’s crown in a bizarre seven-round battle in Miami that saw the dreaded Liston, a 7-1 favorite, quit while sitting on his stool. “The fix was in,” was the consensus. Between fights Clay converted to Islam and adopted the name Muhammad Ali. He won his second fight with Liston, a 7-5 favorite this time, in an equally bizarre one-round match. Again came the cry, “The fix was in.” Little did the citizens of Lewiston realize that, 36 years later, Muslims would begin arriving in their town again. This time they would stay. Once more the fix seems to be in.

Lewiston, a former mill town of 36,000 on the Androscoggin River, was virtually all white when the federal census was taken in 2000. Blacks, with 383 people, accounted for 1.1% of the population. No other nonwhite group accounted for more than a fraction of a percent. The exact percentage for whites was recorded as 97.3. With the mills shut down and a less than robust economy, it would seem an unlikely place for Somalis to flock to. Nonetheless, upwards of 2,000 have already done so, and more are on the way.

Why would it upset you to see it in this country if those ladies choose to wear it, they don't have to in America, it isn't like it's ANOTHER one of our LAWS involving our individual freedoms :) BUT it's kind of like their own business what they wear. At least you won't make a mistake and saying something "prejudicial" if their dressed in their own cultural clothes now will ya? Imagine if you said something to one of them cause you DIDN"T know who they were. Hey while I'm at it, do you have to get permission to put pics of Muslim women on the streets in these pages? Just curious.

You posted a link to a site reading "It's Against Federal Law to be a Sanctuary State for Illegal Aliens (Maine"

Now I want to know if you are saying the Somalis are "illegal aliens" or if they were invited here like other sites say.

Seems to be a lot of stories going round.

What it happening to Maine is just a horrible shame. Maine is so delightful and full of God-given beauty, it's no surprise that the hordes of hell are on the attack. Somalis and massholes, talk about a double plague. Baldacci brings it to three strikes. :-(

I've never had any problems with pictures. I obtained it from the online Bangor Daily News.

I doubt if the original 1,200 Somali's that were brought into Maine by Baldacci (D), Rep. Allen (D) and the Catholic Charities are illegal.  They became citizens and probably were led to register DemocRATS.

Who knows how many 'friends and family members' that have since joined them that are 'not' legal.
