African-American Veterans of the Civil War in Kent County, MD

An article I wrote for this month’s Chesapeake Times about one of the many amazing historic buildings on fabulous Water Street in Chestertown is available.

 …In the end it was illness and not violence that killed a quarter of Kent County’s four hundred-plus black troops. The survivors returned with varying levels of medical disability, but that didn’t stop them from setting up a place where veterans could meet and enrich each others’ lives…”

    Please excuse this off topic comment but we thought you may be concerned about the coming first homosexual mayor of Salisbury:

    Dear fellow blogger,

    We are extremely concerned that Jim Ireton, candidate for mayor of Salisbury, Maryland, and currently an elementary school teacher, is a dangerous homosexual who is unqualified for office and a threat against traditional family understood as a married man and woman with child.

    We base this on several pieces of information:

    1. The Salisbury Daily Times’ article on Jim Ireton ticketed for fleeing with another male from police after 3 AM on Rehoboth Beach, a known location for homosexual men to have illicit sex.

    2. James Ireton Jr’s “Speak Out” August, 2001 letter to the Camp Rehoboth website in support of indoctrinating children with the homosexual agenda, and that “gays should make the best use of the legal structure in their battle.”

    3. A member of the community alleged that Jim Ireton has introduced his boyfriend to various individuals in the city of Salisbury.

    4. Another member of the community alleged he and his wife saw Jim Ireton exiting homosexual establishment “Frog Pond Pub last fall in Rehoboth Beach”, and that Jim Ireton is “not ashamed of the [homosexual] lifestyle.”

    I urge you to publicize this crucial issue, that of the legitimization of the homosexual agenda Jim Ireton’s mayoral candidacy brings to the people of Salisbury, Maryland. Please search the words “jim ireton homosexual” for more information.

    The Salisbury, Maryland mayoral election is April 7, 2009. Please help advance morality and decency by spreading the message of “Family First, NO Jim Ireton!” by email or by telling your friends and family.

    Please help us to preserve traditional family values,
    Concerned Families Of Salisbury
