Executive Committee Did Not Know About Threating Letters To MC And Another Group

Apparently, last night's Executive Committee meeting of the RPM was quite interesting. After an orchestrated attack on Dorothy Fleming by one of the Chair's flaks failed spectacularly, the matter of sending threatening letters to Minnesota republicans was raised. No one on the Executive Committee admitted to knowing about the matter before the letters were sent. (One member from CD5 had been sent it previously but stayed silent at the meeting) Blunt, honest, penetrating questions were asked (the kind RPM leadership avoids at all costs) and precious little by way of sense or substance was given in response by the Chair. It's fair to say most members knew nothing about the matter before last night. How can one person be allowed to do so much damage with so little accountability?

In fact, at one point the Chair demanded to know how a member knew of the letter's existence! He was told it was on the web. D'oh!

Copies of the letter posted below (click on the image to enlarge) were handed out after members requested it. What is risible is that the "Dear Sir/Madam:" line was redacted. Why? Because the sharper pencils in the box would realize such a salutation gives away the fact that this is a form letter. Crank in the name of the offender du jour and out goes the turgid letter.

Another person was sent the same baseless but threatening letter and it had the same salutation. Form letter indeed. As a classy touch, the Chair sent that letter to this person's day-job employer. His employer had nothing to do with this person wanting to improve the party. The letter was sent to harm him financially. I do love those in public life who feel compelled to publicly witness to their faith in Christ: repulsive behavior is sure to follow.

Check back soon for further adventures in fear and loathing.

Their time is running out.

Republican Party Threatens To Sue Us!

Yesterday one of us received the posted letter from RPM's attorney claiming we have used a trade secret of the Party's. Apparently, the "trade secret" is the email list of state central committee delegates and alternates. No, really!

MC has replied that to its knowledge it possesses no trade secrets of the RPM.

Liberals Talk About Conservatism

Not as worthless as one might think. However, there is plenty of silly to be had as well. Reagan was a faux conservative? Who knew! Because of that America is Argentina today. Click on the title to this post to read other leaps of fancy, non-sequiturs and general squishyness, always but always earnestly expressed at The New Republic which, it seems to me, shouldn't be as focused on conservatism as it is given its belief that its time has passed. Or maybe it fears it really hasn't?

Oy! It's A Mishagoss

Well how about that Israeli election? Let the government building games begin. I was so hoping for Netanyahu but perhaps he'll win out in the end. Livni strikes me as too squish. Gee, Iraq and Israel holding elections. More countries, please. David Hazony over at Commentary's blog Contentions has a good take on what the voters did and didn't do.

The President's Press Conference

I found it insufferable; the conventional wisdom seems to be shaking out that he didn't make any mistakes ergo it was a success. Let's not set the bar too high now, even though he is The One.

Two observations: Obama is forced to defend a bill not of his own making. Larded with every conceivable spending program possible, Mr. Hope & Change has turned to fear mongering of the most overt sort. Wasn't fear mongering one of the chief complaints of squishes about W? Yes, I thought so. Obama's answers were long winded. His tone hectoring. That will wear thin quickly. Loved that he called on the Huffington Post, a moonbat website. The press said nothing. And squish radio talk show host Ed Schultz had a front row seat. Passing strange.

Second, this fellow talked about "mutual respect" between the USA and Iran. Really? A state sponsor of terrorism? One that kills its citizens at a frightening clip, stones women but not men (usually) for adultery, imprisons/kills gays and represses every twig of dissent? THAT kind of respect? Whatever happened to the notion that respect is to be earned.

Mark Steyn Before The Ontario "Human Rights Commission"

Canadian blogger extraodinaire Denyse O'Leary, and a friend of Minnesota Conservatives, supplies this transcript to the testimony of Mark Steyn before the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Click on the title of this post. O'Leary has followed closely the travails of Steyn and others before the Stalinist Human Rights Commissions of Canada. If you don't know about this story, you really haven't been paying attention. Repent and bone up on this crucial story now by reading O'Leary's transcript and subscribing to her blog. Then do some Googling. With The Messiah ensconced, no one can tell what fresh hell may be visited upon us in the name of the "public good."
