In Mr. Pence’s New D.C. Neighborhood, Not Exactly The Welcome Wagon
By Ian Shapira. December 3.
In the affluent Washington neighborhood of Chevy Chase, the tinsel, poinsettias and Christmas trees are competing for attention this holiday season with an unusual house decoration: gay pride rainbow flags.
When news filtered out in late November that Vice President-elect Mike Pence was temporarily moving into the white colonial with green shutters on Tennyson Street NW — in the heart of Chevy Chase, a liberal Democratic stronghold — neighbors decided to greet the Republican interloper with polite protest: rainbow flags flapping from their homes. It was time to Make Chevy Chase Great Again.
Mike Pence’s new neighbors greet him with rainbow flags] Now this isn’t San Francisco, South Beach or Provincetown. Most of the homeowners who ran out to buy the flags or ordered them online are straight.
But in this neighborhood of oak trees and single-family homes, where 85 percent voted for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine and just 9 percent cast ballots for Donald Trump and Mike Pence, residents wanted to make clear where they stand. “I thought it would send a message in an appropriate way. One idea was to put a ‘Chevy Chase.
Hillary’ banner, but we thought that would be too in-your-face,” said Joanna Pratt, 66, an environmental consultant who came up with the idea and lives across the street from Pence. Now, at least seven homes on the street boast the flags — a response to Pence’s opposition over the years to equal rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

I hope the TRUMPS and PENCES home school their children.
Mr. Pence has entered the “Mission Field” in that neighborhood. . . a definite opportunity to witness.
Hate rears its ugly head. Liberal snowflakes are some real sickos.
It wont bother him. The filthy faggots thought that he was a Christian business that can easily be sued and pushed around.
Indeed.
An interesting way to witness would be to embark upon a lively discussion of the ORIGINAL meaning of the rainbow.
What a mission field for our dear VP.. I love Mike Pence!!
He and his wife will do fine there!! He has a strong and powerful God on his side.
Amen! God keeps His promises.
The real face of “tolerance.”
They won’t be flying any fag flags down at the Naval Observatory...
The left seems to think the sight of rainbow flags in his temporary neighborhood is going to be a nightmare for Pence. I am sure he could care less. It’s not like he didn’t know where he was going to be living UNTIL HE ASCENDS TO THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL POSITION ON EARTH.
He should hang an AIDS quilt from his porch
Liberals are losing their edge in the fight for ideas. Probably because all of their ideas are so yesterday anymore.
Payback is to delete all references to discrimination based on “sexual orientation.”
You are right. This is his missionfield and he will do fine.. God is on his side.!
It would be more productive if they were getting ready to put their houses up for sale and started applying to jobs in the private sector. But maybe they are, and are just taking a little break for some pettiness.
I was just thinking that Mike should fly a rainbow flag, complete with Noah, the boat, the works!
Property records show that the home’s owners are Caroline Kende-Robb and Michael Kende. She is the executive director of the Africa Progress Panel, which advocates for development projects in Africa, and used to work at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund; he is the chief economist at the Internet Society, an organization that focuses on policy surrounding the Web.
In other words she is another African tragedy tourist - one of the class of grifters in D.C. that specialize in collecting government money so they can help the poor in Africa by visiting swank Capetown hotels [which are the rival of anything anywhere in the world for setting, service and especially the food and wine] or perhaps a 5*++ safari lodge out in what they call "the bush."
And an internet policy guru. Like huh? I am sure that Verizon needs lots of policy assistance in getting the photons on its FIOS to go the right way down the optical fibers.
Hey, Mr. Pence. Let me be the one to welcome you to this neighborhood. Sorry that the neighbors are so trashy and classless, but they are Hillary's people.
.
Third most powerful position.
Second most powerful is without question Speaker of the House.
.
They all work in think tanks and other kinds of D.C. "nonprofits." It's where the real money is.
