Linda Lingle - Hawaii's Zionist lesbian governor

[maz]

I didn't plan to do any research on my vacation, but I'm visiting my family here and they clued me onto Hawaii's Jewish governor. I'm not sure why I thought that the state of Hawaii would not be a Zionist stronghold, but a quick google search revealed all we need to know here. Linda Lingle being an open Jewish Zionist and subscribes to the views of the Jewish cult, the Chabad Lubbavich.

Linda Lingle's status as a Jew is open and publicly honored in Hawaii. Each Monday, Lingle begins her week with a study session with the local Chabad rabbi, Itchel Krasnjansky, and each Friday a fresh challah is delivered to the statehouse. Her religion has not led to much political controversy other than crankish, conspiratorial hate mail and websites that Lingle herself publicized in order to contrast them with Hawaii's tradition of ethnic tolerance. Yet few Hawaiians know much about Judaism, so Lingle does attract attention when she holds a seder at the governor's mansion or lights a public Hanukkah menorah.

In her youth, Lingle attended Reform services and Sunday school, deposited dimes in Jewish National Fund "pushkes" and learned from her paternal grandmother about older forms of antisemitism. Even after moving to California, her social world was almost exclusively Jewish, at least until she arrived at college.

Lingle's Jewish connections have helped her in the political arena, at the very least in the realm of finances. When she won the governor's race in 2002, it was with the aid of the largest campaign warchest ever assembled in Hawaii history. A significant portion of the money came from outside the state, with organizations such as the Republican Jewish Coalition and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) helping to attract funds. In turn, Lingle has been outspoken in her support of Israel and in 2004 led a well-publicized delegation to the Jewish state.

Married and divorced a second time—from attorney William Crockett in 1997—Lingle has no children. Her volunteer public service has included working as a reading tutor, as well as involvement with the Girl Scouts and the YWCA.

Great find maz.

A great example of zionist takeover. I really do wish jews were green or purple so people could see without having to background check every jew in a position of power.

Oh great.  Another Paula Poundstone http://robtshepherd.tripod.com/poundstone.htmlcase brewing.  

A few years ago I looked into volunteering for Americorps / Vista.  It's almost all dominated by gays and ultra-left.    I ran into several lesbians in charge of programs.  Two of them were running the Campfire Girls program.  One of them had her "gaydar" on and got short with me and asked me if I was into "diversity".  "Diversity" to them means allowing homosexuals to dominate and excluding heteros.  I have seen this happen many times in jobs I've held, including my present one, where the head boss (and her "wife") are "out".  

I keep reiterating that the "feminist" movement, while it was good for a lot of issues that needed to be corrected, has more to do with promoting lesbianism than it has to do with promoting women.   Lesbians openly discriminate and harass straight women out of workplaces, colleges, etc., if they cannot "turn" them.  They will keep the better looking ones if they have a crush on them.  Seen it a zillion times.  

My mom made the acquaintance of an out lesbian.  The woman stated that if she had a girl, she would not let another lesbian babysit her because they couldn't be trusted.

Now she's running for Senate

Just a heads up, now Mike Rivero has speculated that Honolulu's Linda Lingle could be a possible Republican VP candidate.
Here's an article from 2008 on the possibility of a McCain/Lingle ticket.

Lingle was not an option
Associated Press

If John McCain was looking for a Republican woman governor and former small-town mayor from an isolated state to become his surprise running mate, he had more than one choice.

Why not Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle?

Like Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Lingle is her state's first female governor who upset established politicians in her rise from mayor (of Maui County) to the state's highest office. Lingle also claims statewide popularity after she won every county in elections two years ago.

"The similarities were striking," said Jerry Coffee, Hawaii chairman for the McCain campaign. "People in Hawaii can appreciate how efficient and effective a woman can be as a governor, or even for higher office. ... I wouldn't be surprised if Sen. McCain consulted with Gov. Lingle in the process of making his decision."

Lingle brushed off questions yesterday on whether she was considered in the running for the Republican vice presidential spot.

"I let it be known very early on that I had no desire or willingness to run for vice president," Lingle said in her office. "It's a great honor to even be talked about in those terms, but my commitment is to the people of Hawaii."

Lingle said Palin's experience as a governor gives her executive decision-making skills that neither Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama nor vice presidential nominee Joe Biden has.

"Neither Obama nor Biden has ever run anything. They've never been a mayor, they've never been a governor, they've never run anything. They've only been on the legislative side," Lingle said. "All governors feel it's important to have someone with executive-side experience, and she has."

She did not mention that McCain also has no experience running a government.

Lingle has been in office three times as long as Palin. Lingle is in her second term after being elected in 2002, while Palin has served less than two years.

Palin also has a Hawaii connection. She briefly attended Hawaii Pacific College -- now known as Hawaii Pacific University -- as a freshman in the business administration program in 1982. She stayed one semester and transferred to North Idaho College.
