Pursuing Pretty People
 
Oops it was Really  Pursuits of Petty People. 
 
 
  • Taylor G Nelson These are steps that we have to take in order to move forward as an organization! We have to function and stop the infighting. And what we did last night where the first steps of fixing the problem. No longer can we be bogged down with the pursuits of petty people!
    4 hrs · Like
 
And I SO wanted to Join THAT Team! 
 
Though I must admit that after quintuple bypass open heart surgery, my pursuing powers are limited
 
And my catching probability would require someone Wanting to be caught.
 
But enough Levity
 
Whispers on the Wind are relaying that the Executive Board has decided that
 
Robert's Rules does not require a vote of approval for an agenda to be adopted before a meeting. Apparently the chair sets the agenda and can just run the meeting off that. 
 
I did some looking around some of the more salient points can be found in
 


 

 
 
But in any event whether or not an Agenda is formally adopted by the Body what the Chair presents can ALWAYS be amended by the Body
 
 
There is still that pesky little portion of the County Constitution which states that 
 
 
The Executive
Committee is subject to the orders of the Linn County Central Committee, and none of its acts
shall conflict with actions of the Linn County Central Committee
 
In any event there may be advantages in not formally adopting an Agenda. For instance an Agenda presented by the Chair and not formally adopted by the Body.
 
Would have the Standing of  A Decision by  the Chair.
 
A Decision by the Chair can be challenged and over ruled by a simple majority.
 
An Adopted Agenda however can only be changed by a Two Thirds vote of the Body. 
 
So for instance
 
If we were nearing the time scheduled to Adjourn?
 
It could be extended by a Simple Majority rather than a Two Thirds Vote.
 
I have to admit I am starting to LIKE this new idea of theirs!

Tales of the Narcissistii

 

Back when we had a Communications Sub-Committee rather than a   Marketing & PR Team we used to reserve the LCRCC Facebook Fan Page and Group Page for Republican Party information,

That no longer seems to be the case,

I saw that one of the recent posts was concerned with me instead.

Someone forwarded me this link to a anonymous letter that I really wish I could have taken credit for. Heck I would have signed my name, so please consider it mirroring my sentiments. Perhaps it reflects yours?

What a fool writes a blog and complains about a group he claims to be of but opposes at every opportunity to do so.

ANGELFIRE.COM

Like · 

 

I was tempted to reply on that Facebook Page but after reading a comment I chose not to.

Sarah Kuhn Henderson I would prefer to not see
 
these petty posts on the
 
 
official Linn County GOP page. Let's focus on
 
getting Republican's elected
 
people!

17 hrs · Unlike · 4 

But it seems our Webmaster paid as much attention to that request as he has to Bill Dahlston's request that he not use Mr Dahlston's copyrighted photos.

Or as much attention as he has to my requests that he edit some of his autoposts so that they do not have Dead Links

The Truth is that I did not think he wrote the letter either.

For some reason I do not seem him paying for a stamp to harass me LOL.

Now the recent identity theft attempt where someone tried to pretend to be me and request that the Account that hosts my website me canceled

Or the report to Facebook that there was "suspicious activity" on my account.

So that I had to fill out a form and affirm that the financial means used to pay for ads on Facebook were mine, and I was required to provide a sample of a color government issued photo ID verifying that I am a US Citizen?

Is more our Webmasters speed

I mean we are talking about someone who used to comment on newspaper articels under the assumed identity of Nancy L and who organized a Denial Of Service attack upon a young lady who was once the President of the Montana Young Republicans.

BTW I can and have in an earlier post provided tje screenshots of both. 

Those other attacks seem to fit him rather than this letter in the mail.

Now the post on the LCRCC Facebook Group Page looks like it was shared from his personal page.

On that one of the comments was

David Ahart Not sure why anyone would want to
 
belong to a group if they hate it so much.

15 hrs · Like · 1

 Now everyone knows that if you really want to understand why someone does something the best way is to ask their enemies ;-) 

I don't "hate" the Linn County Republican Central Committee

I would hazard a guess that few people have made the committment and sacrifices to support it that I have,

For Ten Years I have each month taken a Vacation Day to attend the monthly meetings

You see. I work nights so that was what was required to participate,

What do I hate then?

Seeing Constitutions Violated.

 

 Seeing the Rule of Law trampled upon.

I don't care whether this is done by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government or the Executiuve Committee of the County Central Committee

When and if I see something like that I will

Take a Stand Against It,

I was RAISED that way and I am too old to change now,

And unlike my detractors I do not make unfounded assertions

I can name the Time and Place these offences occurred and Who committed them.

I have no respect for anyone who does or supports doing such things no matter what their justifications

I reject the premise that following the County Constitution and the By Laws of the LCRCC got in the Way of Electing Republicans

AND

I reject the concept that taking exception to such activity DOES hinder getting Republicans Elected,

I reject that standing against such things is being  bogged down with the pursuits of petty people! 

 

We either Stand Up for what we are SUPPOSED to Stand For or We are Nothing.

 

Voting for Who Is  the Mystery Writer is Still Open 

 

If you vote for "Other" or already have please put in the comments who you thing the "Other" is.

Sheep of the Narcissistii
 
If you wish to read the whole letter go Here
 
If you wish to vote for the identity of the Mystery Writer go Here 
 
As I recall Yesterday we left off at me pointing out that Iowa is not a good place to go Whaling and wiith the Mystery Writer telling us what he thinks other Parliamentarians think,
 
Now it would be helpful if we had some way to gauge his credibility but we do not,.
 
 Parliamentarians understand and respect that the purpose of Robert's Rules of Order is to respect
everyone. Twisting the meaning of people's words and personally attacking them disqualifies this
blogger as a parliamentarian while qualifying him as a bloated sheep whaling at the moon wishing he
were a wolf.
The local Toastmasters and true parliamentarians reject this blogger as damaged goods seeking only to
spread the venom of his leader whose name is Narcissist.

 

I still would like to know exactly which Parliamentarians he polled to make the above statement.

For instance when David Chung and I were discussing the Parliamentarian issues of the Officers Election we did so over a meal at Perkins

At One AM in the morning.

Now I submit that if he rejected me as a Parliamentarian he probably would not haver met me at Perkins at that hour,

Mystery Writer?

Please tell us your experience in this field the comments below are open to all.

The Narcissist is a coward and a bully. His modus operandi is choosing to hide in the background

leaving his sheep to carry out his mean spirited and evil bidding. 

I would say that YOU talking about hiding in the background is a case of the Pot calling the Kettle Black

Care to give us some specific instances or are you going to stop with unsupported assertions?

 

People around the State know and dislike the Narcissist. They cringe when he calls knowing they are in

for a blast of vicious accusations against somebody. They hold the phone away from their ear waiting for that click that signals the end of the diatribe . 

 

And you know this How?

 

It is sad because the Narcissist's sheep are just little minions of low esteem personalities. The Narcissist

easily manipulates them to do his evil mission letting them bear the mantle of fool.

The minions come across as angry automatons parroting hate and discontent with no reasoning power of

their own. They speak as a corrupted web application that has been consumed by a virus or a worm. 

Now he is going, One can almost see the spittle flying off his lips;

 

If you come across this blogger you should give him a wide birth unless you become corrupted by him

 

It is hard to get to this website by accident

 

 

or the Narcissist.

Do not respond to the bloggers comments for like a black widow spider he will pull you into his web

and infect you with venom manufactured by the Narcissist.

Ignore the whaling. Ignore the howling.

 

Again you might want to look in a mirror on the subject of howling

 

Move on and do good works that benefit Republicans. Don't let the blogger sap your time or energy.

In the end the only thing that matters is for good people to do good things to elect Republicans.

Now we differ For some strange reason I believe that in the process of elecrting Republicans we should avoid Violating Constitutional Restrictions and ByLaws

But that is just me I think not doing so is throwing the baby out with the bathwater

 

 

What's that I hear .... OH, the blogger just slunk back into his lair.

You wish 

Sleep tight. 

I intend to

You Have HATE MAIL!

Image result for You have hate mail

When you start getting Hate Mail

It means that you have ARRIVED 

As an Internet Pundit.

I related some of my recent experinces such in yesterday's Post

I Have Arrived  which relates a theft of identity attempt to shut down my website and other typical ploys of my Anti-Fans

But this latest I have to admit is special I mean they actually paid for a stamp.

The Return address on the envelope said

A Real Republican 

Now the Real Truth is that you become a Republican by going to the DMV and if asked if you want to register with a Party say Yes I do Republican

Or simply fill out a Registration Form. Republican

But when someone identifies themselves as a

 

 Real Republican

 

The implication is there are additional criteria that they feel necessary to apply before you qualify to their satisfaction.

One can almost picture them in an earlier age drooling over the possibilty of burning some heretics at the stake.

 

 Right now it might be best if I put in a link to the entire letter so my readers can peruse it for themselves

Hot Issues Blogger 

 

Now I don't know why they sent a letter instead of an email,

Whether it was to tell me. "We know who you are and we know where you live"

Or maybe they just wanted to keep me from copying and pasting sections of their letter and wanted me to have to type it out.,

If so they were mistaken,  The letter has been formated as a PDF file now and is easy to handle.

 

 There is a myth that wolves howl at the moon. Images of wolves with their heads raised and howling at

the moon abound. The myth is more popular than goldfish's 3 second memory or dog's color blindness.

The real truth is that it is evil bloggers who are howling. Some bloggers are howling to pump up their

sagging belly to attract a lost mate. Other bloggers howl in the morning because real words cannot come

out of their mouths. Perhaps this bloggers is trying to confuse his imaginary enemies by hurling twisted

words into the night sky hoping they will land on some unsuspecting Republican.

 

 First I am not certain I am in the market for a "mate" I have been thinking lately I have been a bachelor for so long I might be a grave dissappointment to a lady who thought I could be trained.

Second imaginary enemies do not send me letters with such flattering descriptions of me as

 

Some bloggers are howling to pump up their sagging belly 

That sounds more like a corporeal enemy to me.

This blogger is reminiscing about the past ten years of the Linn County Republican Central Committee.

But where is his reality ... lost in the night sky? Buried under a rock? Fell into the toilet?

He revels in the past performance of the LCRCC. Interesting because his memory is delusional, they

didn't elect a single Republican. 

Now I do think Mr Real Republican can only say this because he was no where around at the time,.

Or  he has no problem producing a blatant Lie.

Not a single Republican elected in Linn County?

Total Ignorance or a Total  Absence of the Truth

Because Republicans WERE Elected. 

I can never understand why anyone bothers to Lie about

Something That Is In The Public Record.

But it is just one more example of the Ethical Level of those I oppose. 

 

However they did drive a lot of good people away from the LCRCC over the years. Why would

reasonable people hang around just nonsense?

The blogger helped reign over the failure of his little band of sheep. These sheep who wish they were

wolves but are small minded, mean spirited cretans. 

Will anyone who got driven away by me, please Speak Up?

BTW I thought I was a wolf where does all this talk about Sheep come from? 

As far as being mean spirited LOL this author does not seem to be the epitomy of Christain Love do they? 

 

His claim to fame is that he is effective at clipping and pasting people's words and writings, as if that

was a talent of few. Then he removes a few words and adds a few of his own to twist the meaning of

what they said. Wow, that's impressive. 

 Oh I have other talents too, but thanks for the complements.

As matter of fact when I was blogging regularly

I was rated by the Technorati Blog Rating Service otof 75 Millon Blogs  in the top 6000 in the World.

Which brings up a point I almost forgot.

While the letter was correctly addressed 

Hot Issues Blogger 

The envelope was not 

Hot Air Blogger 

Now I AM flattered Hot Air being one of THE Premier Conservative Websites out there and while it is true that over the years I have correponded with some of their bloggers but NO I am not One of them.

 

He performs his twisted machinations because he can't put words together to make a real argument

based on facts, reason and logic.

This blogger fancy's himself as a Parliamentarian. Really? 

Yes Really selected by the LCRCC Body to be County Parliamentarian and also Parliamentarian for A County Convention.

AND

Requested by David Chung to be a Parliamentarian at the Officers Election meeting.

 Parliamentarians are objective not subjective. They are not mean spirited or offensive. They look out for

the rights of every member not for one faction. They are real people.

Parliamentarians understand and respect that the purpose of Robert's Rules of Order is to respect

everyone. Twisting the meaning of people's words and personally attacking them disqualifies this

blogger as a parliamentarian while qualifying him as a bloated sheep whaling at the moon wishing he

FYI Iowa is a tad far from the Ocean for Whaling. 

were a wolf.

The local Toastmasters and true parliamentarians reject this blogger as damaged goods seeking only to

spread the venom of his leader whose name is Narcissist.

Now our Author has a lot of opinions in this last section,

One is that  local Toastmasters and "true" parliamentarians (is that like Real Republicans those who pass his muster?) reject me?

Let me see, Mr Chung requested my attendance at the meeting he chaired. It was as I recall Parliamentarian

If we knew the identiy of Real Republican we might have some idea of HIS actual experience in this field.

 

I am going to leave the rest for another post,

In any event it seems to be mostly about someone else.,

Darn It!

This was supposed to be MY Hate Mail and it turns out I have to share it.

BTW on the Subject of Sheep in Wolves clothing??

Some might be interested to know that the Largest Land Mamalian Carnivore 

 

Which had a Three Foot BiteAndrewsaurchus's, closest modern relative is SHEEP.

In closing I Do have a confession to make

The letter I got was not REALLY Hate Mail

To Tell the Truth It was more like Hissy Fit Mail  

 

to be continued'

I Have Arrived!
 
I have Arrived I got my First Hate Mail
 
From someone who calls themselves
 

A Real Republcan 
 
Some of you know that there was a recent theft of identity attempt to cancel my Website Hosting by a false request to cancel my account by someone pretending to be me,
 
And you may also know that a report to Facebook that there was suspicious activity when I did some ad boosts, required me to verify that the financial means used to pay for the ads were indeed my own.
 
And I had to submit a color governement issued phioto ID to verify that I am indeed a US citizen.
 
But this time unlike other disparagements, someone actually purchased a STAMP and send me a letter telling me what they think of me,
 
I will share more in detail for tommorrows Post which will be titled
 
You Have HATE MAIL!

New Ways To Do Posts Wrong

I have talked previously about Posts that have dead links in them like:

Ken Rizer has a new post: A classic SNL skit entitled, "I am not a witch," from last time a politician ass... A classic SNL skit entitled, "I am not a witch," from last time a politician associated w wicca.http://t.co/iWuuKdvQ1tLiveLeak.com - Christine O'Donnell's "I'm Not A Witch" Ad

Saturday Night Live Parody

Which leads to


Then there are the Posts that lead to a page on the LCRCC Website

 Such as

 

LCRCC News!!! Click to read more ...http://www.linncountygop.org/…/congressman-rod-blums-cr-of…/ Congressman Rod Blum’s CR Office Grand Opening

Congressman Rod Blum’s CR Office Grand Opening

March 31 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Tuesday, March 31st, Congressman Rod Blum will be holding a formal “Grand Opening” of his downtown Cedar Rapids office.

Please come and support the Congressman as already he is working hard to represent the people of District 1!

The opening will be from 12-1PM at 310 3rd Street SE in Cedar Rapids. 

And ends there. No links to the person who orginated the post,

I thought we were supposed to use our Website and our Facebook Pages to promote our elected officials,

Not use what our elected officials  post to drive traffic to our Website. 

Then there are to posts that lead to the LCRCC Website that DO have a URL  in them.  Not not a hyperlink just an address that you can copy and paste into your Address Bar.
 
Now THAT is something I have not seen in a post by a competant blogger in over 20 years.
 
Such as

The Right Way And The Wrong Way To Post

 

 

I decided to give some examples of what I think are the Right Ways and the Wrong Ways to Post

 

First the Wrong Way taken from the LCRCC's Facebook Fan Page

Ken Rizer has a new post: Retweeted The Gazette (@gazettedotcom): ICYMI: The Iowa House unanimously appr... Retweeted The Gazette (@gazettedotcom):

DES MOINES — In response to church protesters who one Eastern Iowa lawmaker labeled “verbal domestic terrorists” after they shouted homophobic slurs and desecrated the United States flag at military funerals, the Iowa House Thursday voted 100-0 to create a protest-free zone at funerals.

 
Liked

 

 Some of you may be think, How do we know that is really what it looks like on Facebook.

OK just go HERE   BTW that is what a Link that actually works in a Post looks like.

You will also notice that this will open the LCRCC Facebook Fan Page Post in a second window 

Yes I have the Power

I have the Technology

I can do this.

Now click on the link in either or better yet both examples.

You will be taken to this

Now at this point I could explain how to edit the Post on the LCRCC Fan Page so that the Twitter Link works, but I think instead I will show you what a post done Right looks like

So You DON'T Want To Be First In The Nation?

Image result for First in the nation iowa

 

Being the First Caucus in the Nation is a Big Deal for Iowa.

A sense of Pride, Tradition and let's face it the source of a whole lot of rectangular green pieces of linen and cotton.

To KEEP this in place we are required to stay inside certain boundaries.

Which is why, when the other day I looked at the LCRCC Facebook Pages and all the posts looked for all intents and purposes as if they were written by the Tec Cruz Campaign Committee instead of the Linn County Republican Central Committee,

I shook my head and thought

There they go again.

It is important they we maintain at least an appearance of neutrality.

We ARE the second largest county in the State and it is not good to give the other campaigns the impression that they may not get a fair shake in this County.

They might tend to stay away or at least not involve the local County Committee in any functions they have here.

Trust is a very easy thing to break and even harder to put together after it's broken

 

 

We can LOSE our First in the Nation Caucus status if we do not pay attention to a few simple rules,.

County Officials Executive Board members and yes also Webmasters may NOT express partisan endorsements.

I was very proud of Dan Hess when he mentioned the announcement by Ted Cruz the he was running, but made it clear it was an announcement NOT an endorsement.

I read Mr Hess's post and thought, now THAT is how it should be done.

Boundaries must be set by the Exective Committee and the New Marketing & PR Team.

Somebody needs to start doing their job.
