I couldn't find the newsletters posted to the web site, but I'm going to suggest that so we can reference the old ones without having to keep them around in our mailboxes.<BR/><BR/>I've never treated them as privileged communication among the republicans, but that's the only reason I could think of why they wouldn't be on the web site, but would be only sent by e-mail to the membership.<BR/><BR/>If so, it doesn't matter much, as almost every month someone posts all or part of them to a blog somewhere.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551264439871137611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23490549.post-11508565469225241712007-06-24T13:25:00.000-04:002007-06-24T13:25:00.000-04:00Wow on the Nancy Pratt comment.

They have their passions, and they too often put themselves first; they want to win. There was only one perfect human being who wholly succeeded in putting the love of God and His neighbors first. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever wondered why God had to command us to love Him and our neighbors? I am sure you are familiar with the Bible. Is not the Bible is the story of God's plan for our redemption? Don't we need redeeming? Don't most people think first of themselves and what they want? Is that not the reason why we fight like cats and dogs? <BR/><BR/>Just as we find it easier to destroy than build, we find it easier to hate than love. So instead of loving God for the gift of life, we find it easier to hate Him for sticking us with our nasty fellow human beings. That I think is why He had to give us the command -- and the example of His Son -- to love Him and our neighbors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23490549.post-61696159607272846332007-06-23T23:21:00.000-04:002007-06-23T23:21:00.000-04:00You know, I don't know how past Galas have gone. ...You know, I don't know how past Galas have gone. I'm sure Nancy Pratt worked really hard on this and I feel badly for her, but I very rarely attend any of these kind of events.<BR/><BR/>I don't understand why we can't disagree about issues, policies, and even the outcome of elections, and still get along. The opposition has made all this personal, attacking people simply for supporting one candidate over another.<BR/><BR/>Most of us I think still just want to learn the facts, make up our minds, and then drop it and move on to get good people elected. But I don't see the "opposition" wanting that.<BR/><BR/>In fact, i'm working on a better explanation of what I see as the problem -- a cabal of losers who want nothing more than to have the committee, by executive order I guess, throw out all the winners and annoint the losers as the winners. <BR/><BR/>Like the Lucas people think that if they manage to win, all will be well and everybody will join hands and sing happy songs together. <BR/><BR/>The lessons of the last 6 years after Gore challenged a close election are lost on these people.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551264439871137611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23490549.post-47673963858785754542007-06-23T21:19:00.000-04:002007-06-23T21:19:00.000-04:00The real problem comes, it seems to me, when he is...The real problem comes, it seems to me, when he is desperate for some sort of a news item to keep his blog on top in the ratings. He floats out a bogus news item such as the "five illegal aliens raping some woman in the street in Manassas Park and then beating her would-be rescuer to death", which could be taken as gospel by some hysterical xenophobic reader , with tragic consequences. In my opinion, irresponsible blogging to the<BR/> MAX. Take a look at the comments of his readership in response to this bogus news story. Some of them are saying they are going out to get their guns or concealed weapons permits. What happens if one of his sycophants decides to go out and kill some illegal aliens in response to one of his bogus reports? What is he going to say? "Sorry, I plead New York Times v. Sullivan."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23490549.post-45668955155234217232007-06-23T18:59:00.000-04:002007-06-23T18:59:00.000-04:00I don't read BVBL much.

I give the National Enquirer more credence.<BR/><BR/>It may be we somewhat overrate BVBL. When a political party grows strong enough, one thing that generally happens is that party infighting increases. Without a serious external threat, internal rivalry assumes greater importance.<BR/><BR/>At the same time, our local papers love to play up Republican infighting. They would do it anyway, but the fact that Republicans are fighting amongst == well, aren't most reporters Democrats?<BR/><BR/>As I recall, we tried a similar gala once before. Did it go over well? How popular is that format?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23490549.post-1437184577582983442007-06-23T16:44:00.000-04:002007-06-23T16:44:00.000-04:00Actually, I didn't see them because Greg is afraid...Actually, I didn't see them because Greg is afraid to let me read what he writes. <BR/><BR/>It still amazes me that a blogger actually wants to blog in secret. But given his errors, maybe its all for the best.<BR/><BR/>I looked up those stories, and you are right, they are a great example of Greg often getting a story wrong. <BR/><BR/>In fact, he had TWO posts about the incident. His FIRST POST reported a rape-murder by 5 suspects. By the time he got through the 2nd post, he didn't have any idea WHAT the story was. <BR/><BR/>And his commenters, far from being disturbed that Greg has once again reported with reckless disregard for the truth, were PRAISING him:<BR/><BR/>"Greg & Redawn<BR/>Keep it up. I am confident the two of you will get to the bottom of this."<BR/><BR/>Shoot first, and ask questions later. In a more functional world, people who do this would be laughed at, not praised.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551264439871137611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23490549.post-25752533657121365532007-06-23T13:27:00.000-04:002007-06-23T13:27:00.000-04:00Have you seen his latest posts on the alleged "Mur...Have you seen his latest posts on the alleged "Murder-in-the-Street" by five illegal aliens in Manassas Park. This report is clearly bogus. There has been no murders in Manassas Park lately, by illegal aliens or otherwise. Does his regular coterie of sycophantic scandal jackels ever call him on bogus "news"? Nope...they just lap up the scandal and shrug of the falsehoods as the price of being his pals. If he were to pronounce that flying saucers were about to land in Manassas Park loaded with illegal space aliens,I think most of his pals would show up in Manasas Park with shotguns to give the aliens a warm and fuzzy welcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
