For Gays, a Loud New Foe

Sacramento's large enclave of immigrant Slavic evangelicals is becoming a force on social issues. Their actions shock many. By Rone Tempest, Times Staff Writer October 13, 2006 SACRAMENTO — Organizers of the annual Rainbow Festival were prepared for trouble. The Q Crew, a local "queer/straight alliance," distributed cards telling people what to do if approached by hostile demonstrators. Sympathetic local church groups formed a protective buffer along the festival ground's cyclone fence. Mounted police were on patrol.

They don't like being told that NOT EVERYONE likes to hear about their "preferences." Ann Coulter brilliantly takes the whole AIDS epidemic to task in her new book "GODLESS," basically reminding people that it is a HOMOSEXUAL disease and that all the trouble the lib's went through trying to convince us for the last 20 years that it was going to be a Heterosexual problem also has failed.

Over the last 18 months, Sacramento Russian-language church members have picketed gay pride events, jammed into legislative committee meetings when gay issues were on the agenda and demonstrated at school board meetings.

Good for them.

I live in Roseville, a suburb of Sacramento. Like most cities, Sacramento is liberal. But not for long. The Slavic immigrants have a ton of kids. And they vote. I believe in 10 years Sacramento will be overwhelmingly conservative.

How ironic, former Soviets saving Sacramento from the liberals.

BTTT for conservative Slavs who survived the Red Menace and are more than ready to deal with the Pink Nazis.

From the title, I thought that they were talking about the Democrats.

The Sacramento PD will learn, as the KGB did before them, not to mess with Russian grandmothers.
