Maine bishop grateful for gay marriage vote
Unofficial tallies from 93 percent of Maine's precincts show the side that called for a people's veto with 52.9 percent of the vote.
Bishop Richard Malone issued a statement Wednesday in which he thanked Mainers for protecting and reaffirming marriage as it's been understood "for millennia by civilizations and religions around the world." Malone also said respect and acceptance of all people regardless of sexual orientation is not a point of controversy.
Rea Carey of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force says that despite Tuesday's loss, the tide is turning nationwide in favor of marriage equality. Carey says her group believes Maine will join states that extend security and legal protections to gay couples.

My husband and I left the Catholic Church many years ago for the simple reason that the leadership of the church had allowed pedophiles to continue working w/ children and molesting them. If my view, the church leadership does represent the teachings of Christ, but take care of their own interests.

Very good there bishop
Very good there bishop malone, squandering your precious church's resources to keep same gender people down as second class citizens is exactally what your pope wants you to do. Is there a cardinal position opening for your valiant efforts in 'Rome? I think Christ would be plenty ticked to hear you cast the first stone.

Yeah. Thanks for all the
Yeah. Thanks for all the hate mongering TV ads and pamphlets attached to my front door or spilling out of my mailbox.
Thank you Bishop Malone for
Thank you Bishop Malone for proving my point that the Catholic church is a joke, and completely oppressive. I will never regret my decision to dump the Catholic Faith I was born into, and to make the realization that established religion is just man made and a waste of time!
I just wanted to thank
I just wanted to thank Bishop Richard Malone for closing the two churches in Lewiston. They really have been glooming up the joint.

Ronald, If you have not
Ronald,
If you have not noticed, everything I’ve listed is a growth in the size of government, a growth in government spending or a program in crisis.
A tax cut does not belong in that list. While a tax cut may grow the size of the national debt, a tax cut does not necessarily grow the size of government nor does it increase spending.
Moreover, you selectively forgot to add your favorites, Bill Clinton and Obama, to your list of tax cutting presidents. Any reason why? Maybe your Cuban pharmacist is giving you placeboes!

Not surprising
It is not surprising that the Czarist and racist factions of the old "Conservatively" Russian front are continually becoming seen all over again. The entire facets of hatred and fear seem to be predated in concepts from Stalin and Hitler himself. Using the vileness of the "outsider" as the most dangerous among us. Mr. Nachman you remind me of a classmate of mine who had felt that as she was of Czech descent that my mothers lineage of Irish-Jewry made it so that I would have to kneel before here.
As a Baptist this is rather disappointing to see that for all of the physics based knowledge one can posses creating an air of fear is the only true self-gratification one can get. In fact this is a bondage between those in the systems of your own family as well. The racism and the scaffolded humanist rejections with an air of continual fear is little more then self-centered egotistical facets. It seems to thrive on fear and donations to establish a "cult" mandated sense of the opine in writing and creates a narrow minded view of those who think differently.
Mr. Nachman while you enjoy the daily purges of illegal "aliens" does any of this truthfully set you so far apart from Stalin or Hitler? The very nature of the article which you write is more of instilling fear toward others; then little more then that? Is this a case where in reverse desperation anyone not deemed American would have to kneel down before you? The questions becomes of the VDare project just how much of a diaspora it would create and exiles as well if they had ever been given enough control to expel other Americans.
