That might be called
"How to Chair a Meeting Jack Murtha Style"
"How to Chair a Meeting Jack Murtha Style"
Those who viewed the above video might be thinking, "That is Wrong"
In my opinion they would be correct.
My opinion, however is not universal, there are some who deem that is exactly how to Chair a Meeting.
I recall experience a sense of confusion during the times I witnessed the Chair of the Republican Party State Convention, refusing to recognize Calls for Division, or saw a County Chair refusing to recognize an Appeal of the Chair's decision. Numerous occasions during County meetings when questioners were met by a declaration, of Out of Order by Fiat.
My thinking got foggy and I wondered, "How did I get into a meeting run the way Progressive Liberal Democrats run them?"
I mean I THOUGHT I was in a meeting held by the Republican Party, but what was happening was NOT what I thought the Republican Party stood for.
I have certain concepts that I hold Sacred
One: The Foundation of Democracy is respect for the Will of the Electorate, with due consideration for the Rights of the Minority and limited by Constitutions, By-Laws, Rule of Order, which spell out the Powers of the State and Rights of Individuals and those areas in which the State,
MUST NOT INFRINGE.
Two: That Constitutions, By-Laws, Rules of Order have MEANING. They mean what they SAY and not what someone WISHES they mean.
There are those who think that Constitutions are Living, Pliable Documents that can be altered in definition to fit a desired outcome.
They feel that matters of import are best left to an elite who know what is best and the rest of us should sit quietly until they make our decisions for us and tell us what we should do.
That we should submit to Centralized Control of Society.
In my opinion, this attitude permeates our National, State and Local Government and must be challenged and changed.
For us here locally, I think we need to start by cleaning our own house,
If not here, where?
If not now, when?
What are YOUR thoughts??
