Anymore than that and it isn’t called a marriage, it’s called a party. : I'm getting a little tired of turnin, on the news or:picking up a newspa- per or magazine and reading about Brokeback sheep boys, “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and all that junk. When I go in search of news I want to read about normal people, not sexual perverts. I'm sure there will be a few who will read this and want to scratch my eyes out, but I really couldn't care less. It bothers me that, with everything going on in the country, the presi- dent spends his valuable time talk- ing about homosexuals. Does that mean we have a line on Osama Bin Laden, or that we're about to license a few new oil refineries, or allow LOOKING BACK ‘can tangle tongues in front drilling off the coast and in Anwar? Those items are what our head man should be talking about, not some wimpy lit- tle limp wrists who want to parade down to city hall and get married to his or her “partner” just so they of a TV camera. Jim Heffner Guest Column I don’t care what anybody does, or who anybody lives with or whatever as long as they don’t try make me approve of their conduct, or confront me with their warped lifestyle. I have to admit I have been a sup- porter of President Bush, and I con- tinue to support him because the other parties have been unable to provide a better candidate. But I am concerned that he may not be as Heaven? Maybe not conservative as he has always claimed to be. While it is true that the president has taken the right road regarding Supreme Court nominees, he has spent like a woman with a limitless credit card in the world’s largest shop- ping center, and he seems unable to recognize that the Senate’s version of an immigration bill offers amnesty, pure and simple. Bush, as do all politicians, looks at the influx of illegal aliens as just another bloc of voters. Most people who think view the illegals as a group who is costing taxpayers more and more money every day. If someone brédksithe law, and the government works it out that he or she is forgiven, and even rewarded, that can only be construed as amnesty. What else can you call it? Ijust hope that President Bush has- n't alienated so many conservatives that the Democrats take over the House and/or the Senate in the November election. If that happens, we might see an entire brigade of same-sex newlyweds marching along, arm-in-arm, or a small chapel in every town which specializes in | tattoos and same-sex marriages. It's bad enough we have to see them every time we open a newspa- per or turn on the TV. Most people don’t want a president who is a spendthrift, or one who doesn’t know the definition of amnesty. Nor do they want a wife with a heavy beard and hair on his back. fir HE {LL SHOWTIMES INCLUDE PRE-FERTURE CONTENT Kings Mountain-Gastonia From the June 18, 1936 edi- tion of the Kings Mountain Herald: About 300 citizens from Gastonia and Kings Mountain with invited guests celebrated the open- ing of the new scenic high- way between the two cities at a banquet here Tuesday evening.
