Patrick J Buchanan has written in the Boston
Herald on March 16 some interesting views of
the events at Sister Spirit in Ovett Mississippi.
I have selected a few paragraphs that give you
the gist of it.

Among other things  he writes:
When the locals picked up on what was going
on at the farm Q public kissing, the wearing of
lewd T-shirts, plans for a 180-bed feminist
lesbian retreatQit did not sit at all well. The
Christian Ministers Association called a
meeting, and half the town showed up. The
Hensons claim they then started getting
threats, a bomb was exploded outside their
camp, gunshots were fired at the farm, and a
bullet hole was found in their mailbox, over
which had been draped the carcass of a
female dog, a bullet hole in her belly.
....
According to The Washington Times, no one has
found evidence of a bomb having been detonated, or
of shots being ffred at any of the women (though there
is a bullet hole in the mailbox) The dead dog was not
shot (there were no marks on it), and the carcass was
not draped over the mailbox. The poor beast could
have been walking by Camp Sister Spirit, poked its
head through the fence out of curiosity, seen what
was going on and dropped dead on the spot.
While Ovett is showing hostility to the lesbians,
lesbians are not a protected class under the civil
rights act, at least not yet. So where does Reno come
off butting in. And while the Hensons have a
constitutional right to life and property, it has yet to be
shown that anyone is trying to kill them or take their
property.
Justin Raimondo, of the libertarian Mises Institute,
perused San Francisco's Bay Area Reporter for facts
the Big Media ignored. He learned the Hensons plan
to use Camp Sister Spirit as a "permanent space for
the Annual Gulf Coast Women's Festival. ...These
'women only' music festivals are a big part of the
lesbian subculture, and a burgeoning mini-industry
has grown up around them. The only way to attract
thousands of lesbians to a miniscule town in rural
Mississippi is to get nationwide advertising. Have the
Hensons bamboozled the attorny general into
providing the advertising?"
What we have here is not women who wish to be left
alone, but in-your-face lesbians with no claim to be
treated as good neighbors, because they are not
good neighbors. The Hensons are provocateurs, their
camp as offensive to Ovett as a brothel or a nudist
camp. Steeped in moral arrogance, these women
want to defecate on the values of a traditional
community, without suffering any social sanction from
the people they are offending. Like the Nazis who
marched through Skokie, the Hensons provoked this
confrontation.

...
The full power of the Clintonite regime is today being
deployed Q against the tiny  town of OvettQon behalf
of  the perverted values of Camp  Sister Spirit, and
their rich and powerful homosexual allies. By their
friends shall ye know them.
