Correction: Mary Pat Angelini Is Pro-Life
By Art Gallagher
In the Something For Dan Jacobson To Consider While Mulling An Assembly Bid piece posted on Saturday we reported that triCityNews publisher Dan Jacobson was considering a challenge to Caroline Casagrande in the 11th district GOP Assembly primary and not Mary Pat Angelini:
The potty mouth pundit says he supports incumbent Mary Pat Angelini, in large measure due to her pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage positions and that he is considering a challenge to Caroline Casagrande.
In his publisher’s message last week Jacobson said he supported Angelini because she was pro-choice and pro-gay marriage.
MMM has learned that Angelini is pro-life and that she voted against restoring Planned Parenthood’s funding that was cut from the state budget last year. We regret the error and promise to fact check the triCityNews in the future.
But she has stated in print she is for “same sex marriage.” Is that still true or has she changed her mind?
If Mary Pat is pro-life and for same sex marriage, then I officially support her in everything she does.
That would make her one of the people who actually understand conservatism, limited government and the Tea Party approval of the Gadsden Flag slogan, “Don’t Tread On Me.”
Let me know if that’s the case, Art. I will send Mary Pat money right now.
Send in your check Tommy.
I will contact her campaign today. I didn’t know we had a genuine Patriot in the mold of the enlightened founders of our great nation here in our State.
I shall fund her. I shall work for her.
She knows the definition of Conservatism:
“Conserving the freedom of the people against the trespasses of government, and the trespasses of others.”
I typed it wrong. Here’s the definitin of Conservatism:
“Conserving the freedom of the individual agaisnt the trespasses of government and the trespasses of others.”
Assemblywomen Angelini is a Catholic.
Catholics have a moral obligation to bear witnesss to the truth about marriage.Faith must not be separated from actions in either private or public life. We are required to educate ourselves about what the Church teaches and then act on our beliefs accordingly.Thus, the Catholic Church teachings state a same-sex relationship can never be equivalent to a marriage.
She needs to get advice from her religious advisor quickly !
As a Catholic, she can be against gay relationships.
As a legislator sworn to uphold the constitution, she can’t be agaisnt their freedoms.
It’s a-Ok for a Catholic legislator to be personally against a behavior for religious reasons, but uphold freedoms for those who aren’t Catholic.
She represents Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
Yes, they have freedoms and civil unions make sense however the Assemblywomen stated she was in favor of same sex marriage.
I’m glad she is for same sex marriage.
I abhor government power. Government should tell NO ONE who to marry.
Only Nanny-state, government power Democrats want government to control us.
I don’t.
I agree, less government is better. But the Assemblywomen’s judgement and understanding is what is in question.
Mary Pat Angelini is hostile to my Second Amendment rights. She also opposed the medical marijuna law because she believed it would increase teen drug usage. I would never vote for this clown.

Being against gay Marriage is not anti conservative.
You make a good argument that being against gay relationships is anti conservative.
I would never be in favor of regulating what people do in their bedroom.
However secular marriage is a construct of government. Conservatives understand, as did the Founding Fathers, that the traditional family is the bedrock of our society and should not be messed with.
gay “Marriage” is at the very least a risky experiment with a 2000 + year institution.
I predict we will one day lament the results of that experiment.
The founding fathers believed in the rights of man but also believed mankinds baser instincts needed to be restrained. They were in no way libertarians.
being more of a republic, that is, with much more power flowing back into the hands of the states, and less of a “democracy,” which, today, has gone way above and beyond that lofty goal, and cost us so much in money and blood….in so doing, perhaps a better balance of libertarianism and conservatism philosophies can be reached?..
