Name-calling shouldn’t be considered news, but Asheville’s gracious Mayor Terry Bellamy is being called a bigot. The claims evidently come from people adept at casting labels in a politically-correct fashion. The mayor has angered numerous people by refusing to grant entitlements from the city’s overworked budget. The mayor is also holding to her inauguration promise to represent all people, including those who don’t think city funds should be used to endorse or recruit certain segments of the population. If one group of people, say vegetarians, were being denied housing, livelihood, or peace and security, the mayor would do well to protect them. However, if the vegetarians were demanding that the carnivores foot the cost for their protein supplements, the mayor would be correct in defending the carnivores against the redistribution. People know this. They just don’t want to hear it.
