In the US the elite ‘publicans are scared of the tea party. They are comparing this with their nightmare (Goldwater). The great Ann hits them out of the park.
As long as liberals are going to keep gleefully citing Goldwater’s love of gay marriage and abortion, his contempt for Christian conservatives, and his statement that “every good Christian should line up and kick Jerry Falwell’s ass,” maybe they could ease up on blaming Christian conservatives for Goldwater’s historic loss.Goldwater wasn’t our guy; Reagan was.
I note that the Left in NZ are going for the jugular. After Garrett was hounded out of ACT because he got a false passport, confessed, was convicted and the records sealed… they are now after Calvert. Who apparently is a landlord. And one of her buildings houses a brothel.
Ms Calvert, who is replacing disgraced MP David Garrett, confirmed yesterday she owns the building in Queens Gardens, Dunedin, that houses La Maison House of Pleasure.
The parlour bills itself as Dunedin’s “classiest establishment”, though its website address is more to the point – “sexindunedin”.
Speaking alongside ACT leader Rodney Hide at party headquarters in Newmarket, Auckland, Ms Calvert was reluctant to comment on prostitution as an issue but she said she would be “troubled if they were doing anything illegal”.
She indicated she had no skeletons in her closet, nor criminal convictions. She wanted to make it clear she was in no way involved in the prostitution business and was simply a landlord.
Some of her investment properties also housed finance companies and, to some, their reputation was just as questionable as massage parlours, she said.
My understanding is that a landlord cannot discriminate by race occupation etc of their tenants.
The left double standard is alive and well
