Time to Gut and Stuff Karen Minnis

I have been very hard pressed to tolerate, let alone like, Republican leadership in the state, but what is it with the woman who bubble up to the top that makes them so powerfully hateful? The latest, Wood Village's Karen Minnis, seems like either a pet of the Oregon Citizen's Alliance or a George Wallace wannabe. Sure, she can't figure out how to repeal the rights of ethnic minorities and has trouble cramming her Christian values down the rest of the state's collective throat but that doesn't mean she'll do her best to see that gays and lesbians stay on the outside -- she doesn't even want us looking in!

So I wasn't entirely surprised that she started out saying that no Civil Unions bill would be allowed on the floor of her House - it no longer belongs to the people. No, since voters said yes to banning gay marriage that means that voters don't want gays to have anything. I guess she couldn't stand the heat of not allowing the bill to come to floor so she turned into the Great Bitch of the West, brought the bill to the floor, gutted any protections for gays and lesbians, and then stuffed it with what she thinks the fags and dykes of the state are entitled to - NOTHING! See, not only is she a control freak, but if you don't do it her way, she gets mean and makes you pay for it.

For Minnis, discrimination is a good thing and she won't let any law even approach consideration that might make it illegal to fire someone because they might be gay or to refuse to rent or write a mortgage because they might be lesbians.

Why isn't someone circulating a recall petition to at least make this monster's life that much more difficult - after all, she has no interest in providing equal protection under the law to all citizens of the state. Hey, can't we write a ballot initiative to make lynching politicians from Wood Village with the initials KM not only legal, but the patriotic duty of anyone who values equality in this state!?!
