Meanwhile, here in Portland, ME, liberal heads are popping off, right & left: Facebook, Twitter, everywhere!

Governor LePage you’re over the target, flak is heavy!

One can always know when one is doing good. When we score against these leftist orcs, they scream to high heaven and gnash their filed teeth.

I am sure LePage has that down.He needs to do more of it, at least enough to keep them whirling like dervishes. Its when they are silent that you have to worry, just like a pack of predatory hyenas.

They’ll probably petition the courts to have the kid removed from the home.

How long before “tha reverand jackson’ makes a fact funding trip to Maine.

Gathered signatures
Knocked on doors

Put up signs

Went to the inaugeration.

We are so proud.

...dating from the early 20th industrial boom when so many blacks moved north

The big migration to the north took place in the 1960's. Boston's black population more than doubled then.

Unlike the previous governor, who catered to the leftist fringe while he ran the state into the ground.

“He has an adopted black child. How does the NAALCP deal with that?”

The usual way. They call the child an ‘oreo’, or an ‘Uncle Tom’, or a ‘house n***er’, and more or less say the same things they’d said of Condi Rice or Colin Powell.

And, excerpts from noted source:
The American Somalis now display the highest unemployment and poverty rates in the country. They also remain the least educated. According to Andrew Liepman, the deputy director of intelligence at the National Counterterrorism Center, Somali-Americans face “greater insularity compared to other, more integrated Muslim immigrant communities, [which] has aggravated the challenge of assimilation for their children.”

This problem is crystallized by the present situation is Lewiston, Maine, where African Muslims, many from the Bantu tribe, began arriving in 2001 at the rate of 100 a month.

Mohammed Maye, the president of the African Community and Refugee Center in Clarkston, Georgia posted a map of Lewiston on the wall of his office. “Go to Maine,” he advised the Somali immigrants. Abdullahi Abdullahi, the president of the Somali Community Development Organization in Clarkston, upheld this advice by telling his fellow countrymen that, unlike Georgia, Maine has terribly cold winters, but “the welfare system is better.”

Lewiston, indeed, was better. The small town in Maine with a population of 30,000 provided welfare to anyone in need, with the state picking up half the tab. Recipients, including the Muslim refugees, were allowed a generous five years of assistance before their benefits became terminated, and extensions for several additional years on the public dole were not difficult to obtain. Single parents could stay on welfare and go to college.

Public housing was also available, although, with the influx of Somalis, the housing projects became packed to capacity. Many of the new project dwellers were single Somali mothers with large broods of children. Those who are unable to obtain public housing were handed Section 8 vouchers, which the federal government provided to subsidize their rent in private apartments. The northern city with its frigid climate became welfare heaven for the arrivals from the vast desert areas of northern Africa.

The newcomers have shown scant interest in securing employment. When Renee Bernier, the president of the Lewiston city council, offered to hire 30 Somalis at the rate of $8 to $10 an hour to hold warning signs at construction sites, few displayed interest. The handful, who did apply, said that they were only willing to work between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The Somali population of Lewiston now exceeds 40,000.

This does NOT portend well for the Maine’s sodomy caucus.

I don’t see his response as contradictory or its elements mutualy exclusive. He can be busy doing things other than catering to special interests, can he not?

Actually, Maine has a population of 1.3 million.

Historically, Maine’s white population has been around 98%.

Like you said, some blacks have been here for many generations.

Starting last year, I’ve seen increasing number of blacks here in the summer months.....some are here all year long. This new group of black people, as it turns out, are from Haiti. The individuals I have met are polite and are very religious, hard-working Christians.

In a local hospital, I met a nurse from Liberia and another nurse from Nigeria. The Nigerian nurse is Catholic and recently became an American citizen. She told me all about the problems with the Muslims trying to take over her native land.
