Tax reformer Norquist to headline Grand Ol’ Party

Log Cabin Republicans largest fundraiser of the year expected to be ‘bigger and better’ than ever

By David Webb, Staff Writer

National tax reform leader Grover Norquist is scheduled to speak at Log Cabin Republicans of Dallas’ Grand Ol’ Party on Oct. 15.

Carla Halbrook of Dallas, a national board member of the gay political group, said she is expecting the appearance by Norquist to make the event, the group’s ninth annual dinner and fundraiser, the best in its history.

...Halbrook said she heard Norquist speak once before at a national Log Cabin Republican event.

...The local group is paying part of the salary for a field director representing Log Cabin Republicans to work helping defeat Proposition 2 (a Marriage Protection Amendment to the Texas constitution appearing on the November 2005 ballot).

Contributions at the event range from $95 dinner seats to four-figure donations, Halbrook said.

Grover Norquist is losing his mind. Does he practice homosexuality?

Norquist is too much into this "big tent" BS, I mean, he supports CAIR, and now this, time to throw him overboard.

I say eliminate the 501(c)3 tax-exempt corporations in the IRS code... The “non-profit” scam is corporate welfare in the truest sense... Norquist and his Americans For Tax Reform is more like Americans Whore for Tax Subsidies...

He sure is a hypocrite drawing that lavish salary from a “non-profit” corporation that does not pay taxes like the rest of us do.

Get rid of the “non-profits” and groups like CAIR, ACLU, Sierra Club, PETA, Greenpeace, etc., etc., ad nauseum are over... Maybe Grover could go back to Sesame Street with the Cookie Monster... Ooops! That is CPB, another “non-profit” scam! Get Grover a real job for once in his life...

His wife is a religiously observant Palestinian Muslim. I wonder how she feels about him getting involved with the "Log" Cabin Republicans.

Is Grover Norquist an Islamist?
April 14, 2005

Is Grover Norquist an Islamist? Paul Sperry, author of the new book, Infiltration, in an interview calls Grover Norquist "an agent of influence for Islamists in Washington." When asked by FrontPageMag.com why a Republican anti-tax lobbyist should so passionately promote Islamist causes, Sperry implied that Norquist has converted to Islam: "He's marrying a Muslim, and when I asked Norquist if he himself has converted to Islam, he brushed the question off as too ‘personal.'" As Lawrence Auster comments on this exchange, "Clearly, if Norquist hadn't converted to Islam, or weren't in the process of doing so, he would simply have answered no."

Indeed, Norquist married Samah Alrayyes, a Palestinian Muslim, on April 2, 2005, and Islamic law limits a Muslim woman to marrying a man who is Muslim. This is not an abstract dictum but a very serious imperative, with many "honor" killings having resulted from a woman ignoring her family's wishes.

Alrayyes (now known as Samah Norquist) has radical Islamic credentials of her own; she served as communications director at the Islamic Free Market Institute, the Islamist organization Norquist helped found. Now, she is employed as a public affairs officer at the U.S. Agency for International Development – and so it appears that yet another Islamist finds employment in a branch of the U.S. government.

Grover Norquist has for some years now been promoting Islamist organizations, including even the Council on American-Islamic Relations; for example, he spoke at CAIR's conference, "A Better America in a Better World" on October 5, 2004. Frank Gaffney has researched Norquist's ties to Islamists in his exhaustive, careful, and convincing study, "Agent of Influence" and concludes that he is enabling "a political influence operation to advance the causes of radical Islamists, and targeted most particularly at the Bush Administration."

But if Grover Norquist is indeed a convert to Islam, it could be that he is not just enabling the Islamist causes but is himself an Islamist. (April 14, 2005)

Sep. 30, 2005 update: A biography of Samah Norquist gives a more complete explanation of her U.S. government job. She is

Socially segregated from women, Arab men succumb to homosexual behavior. But, interestingly enough, there is no word for "homosexual" in their culture in the modern Western sense. That is because having sex with boys, or with effeminate men, is seen as a social norm. Males serve as available substitutes for unavailable women. The male who does the penetrating, meanwhile, is not emasculated any more than if he had sex with a wife. The male who is penetrated is emasculated. The boy, however, is not, since it is rationalized that he is not yet a man.

You and I are on the same wave length here:

"I say eliminate the 501(c)3 tax-exempt corporations in the IRS code... The “non-profit” scam is corporate welfare in the truest sense... Norquist and his Americans For Tax Reform is more like Americans Whore for Tax Subsidies...

"He sure is a hypocrite drawing that lavish salary from a “non-profit” corporation that does not pay taxes like the rest of us do."

"Get rid of the “non-profits” and groups like CAIR, ACLU, Sierra Club, PETA, Greenpeace, etc., etc., ad nauseum are over... Maybe Grover could go back to Sesame Street with the Cookie Monster... Ooops! That is CPB, another “non-profit” scam! Get Grover a real job for once in his life..."

Or make it illegal for any non profit to participate in the political process from donations, to laundering money from people like George $oreA$$, and any aspect of the political process.

Require mandatory jail sentences for the boards and execs of these pseudo non profits if they violate the non political action law. Each violation would result in the loss of non profit status for 5 years. Have a 3 strike policy, 3 violations and the non profit is terminated.

"Doubtful, as she married an infidel."

Rumor is Norquist converted. He's been asked, and won't give a definitive answer. Draw your own conclusions.

Thanks for posting that. Norquist sure seems like the poster boy for several evils.

The "Dallas Voice" is a fag-rag news outfit, every metro area in the country has a "Voice" franchise. Thats how they pass their drivel off without most folks knowing about it.

You're right, somebody needs to reel him in.

Norquist is wasting his time.

This amendment will carry by at least 70-30.

Agreed. I wonder what his angle is though?

Norquist makes his living as a lobbyist.

Since he fancies that he has some kind of special "in" with the Bush administration (does he?), he sells his services to those who would not typically be thought of as a Republican constituency.

Thus, his dance with CAIR, and now he tiptoes with the gays.

Why he chose Texas as his first battleground is a mystery. He has no chance of influencing the election here in favor of his clients.

But, like a criminal defense lawyer, as long as he gets paid, so what?
