Oh, I can DEFINITELY imagine!
The fringe - liberal flatlanders that have infiltrated our state for the past 50 years did the same thing here. But after 40 years, we threw them out and took back all 3 houses...there is a great gnashing of teeth
But our new governor doesn't speak PC, and he's taking no prisoners. CONSERVATIVE to the core.
A self-made man (was on the streets at age 11...got through college, worked his way up to manager of our biggest 'chain' store, got elected as Mayor to a deep blue town - TWICE - and now gov.
One of his first altercations was with the NAACP who came to town with the express purpose of getting him n line. They 'invited' him to dinner.
He said, "sorry, my calendar is full that day"
They called him a racist.
He told them: "Kiss my A*s." (The papers reported it as "Kiss my BUTT - but it was "a*s. I don't remember hearing that they've made another visit.)
(If they'd checked, they would have seen his family photo of him, his wife and their children. OH my, one of the them is, oh my goodness, black! He had semi-adopted a young Jamaican teen, put him through high school, college and he's now getting his doctorate..)
Yup. Maine. It's finally back in the hands of the natives.
Maine? In MAINE?
You make me want to weep. Illinois is surrounded by states that are quickly moving back to reality. Us? We’re still trapped in the 20th century.
