Time Mag: The Gay Mafia
Time magazine has an interesting article on one of the various cogs in the left-wing activist machine. The article , which doesn’t mince words, shows a well-funded, organized operation that is committed to defeating “anti-gay” candidates at every level across the nation. Time recounts how the group of wealthy donors dumped large sums of cash into the 2005 Virginia legislative elections where four candidates seen as “critical of gays” saw defeat.
This unofficial group of wealthy benefactors has become known as the “Cabinet.”
Among gay activists, the Cabinet is revered as a kind of secret gay Super Friends, a homosexual justice league that can quietly swoop in wherever anti-gay candidates are threatening and finance victories for the good guys.
Some Cabinet members also donated tens of thousands of dollars in certain Iowa and New Hampshire races in 2006, when Democrats regained control of both states’ legislatures. Those states’ Democratic majorities now ensure that, among other things, efforts to amend the Iowa and New Hampshire constitutions to ban same-sex marriage will fail.
Those named as members of the Cabinet:
- David Bohnett of Beverly Hills, Calif., Billionaire Co-Founder of Geo-Cities.
- Timothy Gill of Denver, tech multimillionaire;
- James Hormel of San Francisco, heir to the famous meat company;
- Jon Stryker of Kalamazoo, Mich., the billionaire grandson of the founder of medical-technology giant Stryker Corp.;
- Henry van Ameringen, whose father Arnold Louis van Ameringen started a Manhattan-based import company that later became the mammoth International Flavors & Fragrances.
- Jonathan Lewis, grandson of Joseph, co-founder of Progressive Insurance
- Linda Ketner, heiress to the Food Lion fortune, who is running for Congress against GOP Representative Henry Brown Jr. of South Carolina.
The left-wing of this nation has certainly learned how to play big-league behind the scenes politics. Where is that Vast Right Wing Conspiracy when you need it?
