Dear fellow tax hikers, as Americans converged on Chick-fil-A to support this restaurant's speech rights, the mentor and former boss of our good friend Ashwin Corattiyil redoubled her efforts to shut them down. As you long-time readers know, we broke the story that Hamilton County Republican Party Executive Director Ashwin Corattiyil is a career Democratic activist. Ashwin worked all of 2004 to elect John Kerry as President. Through August 2010 he worked for the liberal Democratic Speaker of the New York City Council Christine Quinn, an open lesbian who is married to another woman.
Mrs. Quinn is an open-minded, tolerant liberal. As such, Quinn is working to immediately kick Chick-fil-A off of New York University's city campus because she disagrees with their CEO's personal belief opposing gay marriage. Nothing demonstrates an open mind like trying to shut down anyone who has a different opinion than you.
Our friend Ashwin Corattiyil worked for Mrs. Quinn during his time in New York through approximately August 2010. Then he moved to Cincinnati claiming to be a Republican, and a few months later was hired by the Hamilton County Republican Party. We do not believe he is a liberal infiltrator who is here to blow up the party's 2012 efforts. We trust Ashwin. There is no reason to believe that a life-long Democrat's instant conversion should be treated as suspect.
We applaud Speaker Christine Quinn for her dedication to tolerance. Liberals are tolerant people. It is this liberal tolerance that causes them to severely punish anyone who disagrees with them. This is but one of the lessons Ashwin learned during his years as a New York Democrat. We Hamilton County Republicans should feel fortunate that our party is being managed by such a tolerant liberal New York Democrat as Ashwin Corattiyil.
