Letter to the Editor: Roy Byrd of the Town of Chatham, Va council is scared to debate Merle Rutledge Jr

I have to give Mr. Hurt credit for at least debating Douglass. However, I wish I could say the same about my challenger Mr. Roy Byrd. I have nothing but respect for you as a public official. However, I feel that you want to win this election because of entitlement and not merit. The point of a debate is to see where we stand on issues as it relates to the town and to give the people a chance to decide on what direction that the Town should go in based off our proposals and policies. Even if I was not running, I would still want to know where all my elected officials stood on pertinent issues that will not only effect their wallet but also the geographical area in which I try to represent. My campaign, as well as independents, have sent Roy Byrd e-mails asking for him to debate and to give us an outlook on the direction that he plans on taking the town. He has played by Mr. Hurt playbook of not debating and hope his name is enough to win this election. This sounds more like entitlement and socialism strategy. Since you do not want to debate, than I will present the questions in this letter to the Editor to you. Where do you stand on Uranium? What do you plan to do to move the Town forward with your proposals? Do you plan to serve the public or serve yourself with the tax revenues raised by taxes that the Town has no clue on what they are paying. How do you feel about eminent domain and the transportation issues that continue to be a issue with the citizens. I stand against Uranium Mining. I do not plan on raising taxes at all next year. I see my colleague has raised or voted for tax increases every year except for a election year. I plan to have a open door policy of government and request a criminal probe to give the Town people answers to what is really going on with their money and why it continues to get lost. I plan to bring businesses to the area and allow them to grow and bring jobs to the area and require them to meet the aesthetics of the Town of Chatham, Va, while working with their neighbors. Perserving history while staying update with the future is my motto. Our area has serious transportation issues and we need to start working on solving it and working with local bus services and more to fix the problem that we continue to avoid in our comprehensive plans. I want to see people be able to get to work and handle much needed services and business. I would like to know where you stand on bridging the gap in cutting taxes and showing fiscal responsibility. If you want to vote for a dodger of public scrutiny than you should vote for Roy Byrd. However, if you want accountability in public office than vote for that change. Roy Byrd, Ill debate you anywhere and at anytime. too bad, I wish you could say the same. We have use email, phone calls, and face book to get you to come before the town. If you scared to face the town now on your proposals than dont be the man to throw your proposals on to the town after you are elected. We do not need another Romnesia co – signer in office. Im tired of your flunkies including Pittsylvania County Sheriff deputy Campbell, Mayor Rogers, and the rest of the local Town of Chatham, Va employees that support you giving you a free ride. Earn your office or step aside. The people deserve to know where we stand. I am also surprised that our local newspaper has not asked or held a candidate forum in which they can write and also give their own readers more information on the stances of governments in which they write about.

Republican Chris Wallace considers Republican debates “stupid!”

Chris Wallace on Saturday said what many journalists, television viewers and probably the GOP candidates are thinking.

“It is ridiculous how many debates there have been–this is the nineteenth debate,” he said on the Mike Gallagher Show, referring to Thursday night’s Republican debate. “It is insane that there have been nineteen debates!”

Wallace, who himself moderated two debates, pointed out that it has become difficult for hosts to come up with fresh questions.

“They’re all stupid,” he said, arguing that viewers aren’t watching to learn about the issues. “It’s like you’re tuning in to a car race, you really want to see if there’s a wreck.”

Merle T. Rutledge Jr responds by stating, “The debates are not stupid. Each of the candidates had a choice to be in the debates or not. All that participat­ed had a right not to participat­e. Their is nothing mandatory about being in debates to win elections ask Chatham, VA House rep Robert Hurt. It is so many debates because the debates have became great television and thanks to these very inspiratio­nal present and future SNL stars is the reason. Actually there has been more than 19 debates because some debates are not televised.  It is sometimes called a forum, retreat, or conference that has been held by a cash friendly conservative and non conservative groups.  It is just too much Burger King candidates and television shows. The slogan “Have it your way!”   It would be nice to see someone run a traditional campaign but it is obvious that these Republican candidates only believe in traditional in the Burger King way.  The debates are highly informative and has clearly let us know what a vote for one of these candidates actually means.  We didn’t know about Scott Walker and the Ohio Governor overall plans until after they was voted into office.  Maybe if they had 19 debates than it might have slipped and avoided a double dip recession in their own respective states and we definitely do not need the same outcome in our federal government.  Imagine if we would have voted for Rick Perry without a debate.  We would have never known that the 3am phone call might be answered by the drunk in the video that I have attached to my response!

Mitt Romney should release his long form Birth Certificate. (Mexico Grandfather question?)

I want Mitt Romney long form Birth Certificate just to make sure that he is a legal citizen and meet the requirements to be President of the United States of America.  He just said his grandfather was from Mexico.  If they want to use the same b.s against President Obama than I want them to go through the same scrutiny.  It is only the Equal Protection Clause I’m addressing with you. Also, it might not be a bad idea to find a wacked out judge subpeona Mitt Romney and have him appear in court in order to answer to the claims.  If anyone has a problem with anything mentioned in this blog than get off my President back. Maybe I should find some wacked out nut case judge to subpeona him into court to prove that he is a legal citizen born in the United States of America. I wouldn’t want his campaign covering up a conspiracy. LOL….. The shocking thing is I could be serious like the idiots in Georgia.

HITLER/GINGRICH COMPARISON/ REPUBLICAN/NAZI COMPARISON

At the time of Hitler’s release from prison, politics in Germany had become less combative, and the economy had improved. This limited Hitler’s opportunities for political agitation. As a result of the failed Beer Hall Putsch, the NSDAP and its affiliated organisations were banned in Bavaria. In a meeting with Prime Minister of Bavaria Heinrich Held on 4 January 1925, Hitler agreed to respect the authority of the state: he would only seek political power through the democratic process. 

Correlation of Newt Gingrich to Adolf Hitler

Newt Gingrich was kicked out of the U.S Congress for numerous ethic violations.  Even though Newt never served any prison time, some of the sanctions against him that could have moved forward would have put him possibly in prison.  As a deal to get out of prison time, Newt pleaded to lesser penalties and paid a $300,000 fine as a result.  Newt has now entered in nomination process for President of the United States of American in 2011 through the democratic process.

The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929. The impact in Germany was dire: millions were thrown out of work and several major banks collapsed. Hitler and the NSDAP prepared to take advantage of the emergency to gain support for their party. They promised to repudiate the Versailles treaty, strengthen the economy, and provide jobs.

^{Correlelation of the Republican Party to Adolf Hitler}

The Republican Party and with Newt Gingrich as a party leader has tried to take advantage of millions being thrown out of work and several major banks collapsed under a Republican President named George W. Bush.  Newt Gingrich has made promises to repudiate current President Obama policies in order to strengthen the economy, and provide jobs, under what people consider now in the United States of America as a emergency.

Racially motivated messages to millions of Republican supporters

German forces and their European allies occupied most of Europe and North Africa. These gains were gradually reversed after 1941, and in 1945 the Allied armies defeated the German army. Hitler’s supremacist and racially motivated policies resulted in the systematic murder of eleven million people, including nearly six million Jews (Wikipedia).

The Tea Party and Republican party have joined forces spewing racially charged messages

Examples from the Republican Party leadership such as calling people tar babies, anchor babies, our blacks are better than your blacks, electrified fences meant to kill people, gays being barbarians, and all using the Christain mask to support their deeds.   Ever since President Barack Obama elections, racially charged and insensitve messages have been relayed throughout America in order to attack the President and minorities personally.  Demonizing particular classes of people in order to rally support for their policies and initiatives.

Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street are considered extremist parties

Hitler made a prominent appearance at the trial of two Reichswehr officers, Lieutenants Richard Scheringer and Hans Ludin, in the autumn of 1930. Both were charged with membership in the NSDAP, at that time illegal for Reichswehr personnel.^[106] The prosecution argued that the NSDAP was an extremist party, prompting defence lawyer Hans Frank to call on Hitler to testify in court.^[107] On 25 September 1930 Hitler testified that his party would pursue political power solely through democratic elections.^[108] Hitler’s testimony won him many supporters in the officer corps.^[109] (Wikipedia).

If you put Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street in the place where it says NSDAP was an extremist party.  The Republican Party have played both organizations as extreme but use their influence and motives as a way of support for the Republican Party.  Either with discuss or huge disrespect depending on the side of the issue that maintain their base.  The Tea Party is split on whether it is the Tea Party or the Republican Party.  The snake did not cut off its own head.  It only grew two heads or regeneration.  These parties may not be on trial, but they are on trial everyday through the media and on the defense at every moment in society.

The Republican Party is preparing for a loss in 2012.  Right now they are content at losing the election against President Obama because this election would establish the Party as a strong force in American Politics.  Gingrich lost the first two rounds in the primary and won the third round.  The candidates that have won so far has study Hitler’s path to power.  Racially charged and demonizing a class of people.  Hitler example was political enemies and Jews.  However his brutality would be felt by all classes of people from Germany and throughout the world. 

In 1932 Hitler ran against von Hindenburg in the presidential elections. The viability of his candidacy was underscored by a 27 January 1932 speech to the Industry Club in Düsseldorf, which won him support from many of Germany’s most powerful industrialists.^[115] However, Hindenburg had support from various nationalist, monarchist, Catholic, and republican parties, and some social democrats. Hitler used the campaign slogan “Hitler über Deutschland” (“Hitler over Germany”), a reference to both his political ambitions and to his campaigning by aircraft.^[116] Hitler came in second in both rounds of the election, garnering more than 35% of the vote in the final election. Although he lost to Hindenburg, this election established Hitler as a strong force in German politics.^[(Wikipedia)

^{Newt tries to win the Republican primary by running against the Republican establishment.}

The absence of an effective government prompted two influential politicians, Franz von Papen and Alfred Hugenberg, along with several other industrialists and businessmen, to write a letter to von Hindenburg. The signers urged Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as leader of a government “independent from parliamentary parties”, which could turn into a movement that would “enrapture millions of people”.^[Wikipedia)

^{This is nothing more than the Koch brothers and other elitist that will try to work with whomever win election to keep such a influential figure in politics and in government.  The Tea Party became a movement that would “enrapture millions of people with such prominent and wealthy support.} 

^{The Republican Party has attacked Unions and what they consider Socialist Democrats}

Having achieved full control over the legislative and executive branches of government, Hitler and his political allies embarked on a systematic suppression of the remaining political opposition. The Social Democratic Party was banned and all its assets seized.^[133] While many trade union delegates were in Berlin for May Day activities, SA stormtroopers demolished trade union offices around the country. On 2 May 1933 all trade unions were forced to dissolve and their leaders were arrested; some were sent to concentration camps.^[134] The German Labour Front was formed to represent all workers, administrators, and company owners together as one group. This new trade union reflected the concept of national socialism in the spirit of Hitler’s “Volksgemeinschaft” (community of all German people).^[ (Wikipedia).  This is the current day Republican Party being lead by Hitler’s playbook.  Unions and political opponents would be suppressed and thats exactly what the Republican Party is trying to do.

Hitlers warned us about those that would follow his path with this passage below…  We laugh and joke about the Republican Party and their ideology, but Hitler taught us all not to think of them as foolishly while they are driven for power.  The Republican Party is trying to govern the United States by Hitler’s playbook.

 

At the risk of appearing to talk nonsense I tell you that the National Socialist movement will go on for 1,000 years! … Don’t forget how people laughed at me 15 years ago when I declared that one day I would govern Germany. They laugh now, just as foolishly, when I declare that I shall remain in power!

— Adolf Hitler to a British correspondent in Berlin, June 1934

 

pRESIDENTIAL rEPUBLICAN CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY HELP RUN THE OLYMPICS JUST LIKE HITLER.  THE PASSAGE BELOW DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO DO.  THEY WANT TO GO TO WAR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WITH OTHER COUNTRIES AFTER GAINING THE PRESIDENCY.  BELOW DESCRIBES THE UNITED STATES CURRENT CONDITION AND THE FUTURE RESULTS IF HITLER WAS TO TAKE POWER.  IT IS EXACTLY THE METHODOLOGY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

 

In 1935 Hitler appointed Hjalmar Schacht as Plenipotentiary for War Economy, in charge of preparing the economy for war. Reconstruction and rearmament were financed through Mefo bills, printing money, and seizing the assets of people arrested as enemies of the State, including Jews.^[149] Unemployment fell substantially, from six million in 1932 to one million in 1936.^[150] Hitler oversaw one of the largest infrastructure improvement campaigns in German history, leading to the construction of dams, autobahns, railroads, and other civil works. Wages were slightly reduced in the pre–World War II years over those of the Weimar Republic, while the cost of living increased by 25%.^[151]

Hitler’s government sponsored architecture on an immense scale. Albert Speer, instrumental in implementing Hitler’s classicist reinterpretation of German culture, was placed in charge of the proposed architectural renovations of Berlin.^[152] In 1936 Hitler opened the summer Olympic games in Berlin.

 

NEWT GINGRICH AT A 2012 SOUTH CAROLINA DEBATE TALKED ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA ALLIANCE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES IN ORDER TO INCREASE THEIR NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES.  THE PASSAGE BELOW SHOWS HOW HITLER CREATED ALLIANCES WITH GLOBAL POWERS AS WELL, OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

In February 1938, on the advice of his newly appointed Foreign Minister, the strongly pro-Japanese Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler ended the Sino-German alliance with the Republic of China to instead enter into an alliance with the more modern and powerful Japan. Hitler announced German recognition of Manchukuo, the Japanese-occupied state in Manchuria, and renounced German claims to their former colonies in the Pacific held by Japan.^[190] Hitler ordered an end to arms shipments to China, and recalled all German officers working with the Chinese Army.^[190] In retaliation, Chinese General Chiang Kai-shek cancelled all Sino-German economic agreements, depriving the Germans of many Chinese raw materials, though they did continue to ship tungsten, a key metal in armaments production, through to 1939.^[191] (WIKIPEDIA)

 

NEWT GINGRICH IS TRYING TO DESTROY CHRISTAIN IDEOLOGY AND HITLER LIFE WAS SURROUNDING BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS VIEWS MEANT TO BE INTERPRETED IN HIS OWN “EVIL” WAY.

 

Hitler’s parents were Roman Catholics, but after leaving home he never attended Mass or received the sacraments.^[295] He favoured aspects of Protestantism that suited his own views, and adopted some elements of the Catholic Church’s hierarchical organisation, liturgy, and phraseology in his politics.^[296][297] After his move to Germany, Hitler did not leave his church. Historian Richard Steigmann-Gall concludes that he “can be classified as Catholic”,^[298] but that “nominal church membership is a very unreliable gauge of actual piety in this context.”^[299]

In public, Hitler often praised Christian heritage and German Christian culture, and professed a belief in an “Aryan” Jesus Christ—a Jesus who fought against the Jews.^[300] He spoke of his interpretation of Christianity as a central motivation for his antisemitism, stating that “As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.”^[301][302] In private, Hitler was more critical of traditional Christianity, considering it a religion fit only for slaves; he admired the power of Rome but maintained a severe hostility towards its teaching.^[303] Historian John S. Conway states that Hitler held a “fundamental antagonism” towards the Christian churches.^[304]

Hitler meeting Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. December 1941

In political relations with the church, Hitler adopted a strategy “that suited his immediate political purposes”.^[304] According to a US Office of Strategic Services report, Hitler had a general plan, even before his rise to power, to destroy the influence of Christian churches within the Reich.^[305][306] The report titled “The Nazi Master Plan” stated that the destruction of the church was a goal of the movement right from the start, but that it was inexpedient to express this extreme position publicly.^[307] His intention, according to Bullock, was to wait until the war was over to destroy the influence of Christianity.^[303] He articulated his view on the relationship between religion and national identity as “We do not want any other god than Germany itself. It is essential to have fanatical faith and hope and love in and for Germany”.^[308]

 

NEWT MARRIED HIS MISTRESS AND HITLER MARRIED HIS MISTRESS.  THE PASSAGE BELOW DESCRIBES THE SIMILARITIES.

 

 Hitler family and Sexuality of Adolf Hitler

To the public, Hitler promoted his own image as that of a man without a domestic life, dedicated entirely to his political mission.^[112][333] He met his mistress, Eva Braun, in 1929,^[334] and married her in April 1945.^[335] In September 1931 his niece, Geli Raubal, committed suicide with Hitler’s gun in his Munich apartment. Geli was believed to be in a romantic relationship with him, and her death was a source of deep, lasting pain.^[336] Paula Hitler, the last living member of the immediate family, died in 1960.^[337]

^{Hitler in media}

Video of Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden (c. 1941)

See also: Adolf Hitler in popular culture and List of speeches given by Adolf Hitler

Hitler was a renowned orator, and honed his skills by giving speeches to military audiences in 1919 and 1920. He became adept at using populist themes targeted to his audience, including the use of popular scapegoats who could be blamed for the economic hardships of his listeners.^{[338][339][340]} He had personal magnetism, hypnotic blue eyes, and an exceptionally good memory, traits he used to his advantage while engaged in public speaking.^[341] Alfons Heck, a former member of the Hitler Youth, describes the reaction to a speech by Hitler: “We erupted into a frenzy of nationalistic pride that bordered on hysteria. For minutes on end, we shouted at the top of our lungs, with tears streaming down our faces: Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil! From that moment on, I belonged to Adolf Hitler body and soul”.  NEWT GINGRICH GIVES OUT FIERY SPEECHES AND ENCOURAGES A STRONGER MORE AGGRESSIVE MILITARY, RACIALLY MOTIVATED REMARKS, AND OUTSTANDING AT DEBATES AND PUBLIC SPEAKING WITH HIS RHETORICAL LEADERSHIP.  NEWT AND HITLER KNOW HOW TO FIRE UP A CROWD SUCH AS THE ONES AT THEIR STUMP SPEECHES AND DEBATES.^{[342]  (wIKIPEDIA)}

Open Letter to Rick Santorum after S.C Debate 1/16/2012

Open Letter to Republican Candidate Rick Santorum after S.C Debate 1/16/2012

Rick Santorum stated, “Martin Luther King Jr holiday is a important part of the African American community!” Did he forget that it was also white people, hispanic, and other ethnic groups that find this day as important. It seems like every drug dealer in your book is a African American or other ethnic group. It seems like you think every African American is on food stamps.
It seems as if African Americans had nothing to do with the wealth of their own kind as well as other ethnic groups including your own. It is shocking how a bunch of evangelicals got together to endorse your campaign based off your own views that go against the bible teaching. However, it was a old rumor or maybe even a fact that the bible was used to enforce and brainwash other ethnic groups into staying slaves instead of pursuing any form of freedom. I wouldn’t shake your hand if we was on the same stage or place.
I do not have a problem with white people or any other ethnic group, but however I do have a problem with individuals of all races that feel that their is a such thing as being superior to any all races. Rick Santorum fails to bring up the fact that it was government that was the first drug dealers and still are the only one giving drug dealers permits. How about you ask Rush Limbaugh about that? Their are pedophiles of many different races that pray on children for sexual deviances.
Do you tell parents or that child that even if they are raped or molested that they have to have that rapist child. A lot of pro life advocates have not been raped personally and the ones that have are not forced to register their names in a abortion registry. Im sure it would be more hyprocrits on that list than ever before in the history of the United States of America. Its one thing to be pro life and raise your own kids than to be pro life and allow a private or military school do the job for you.
I see all ethnic groups that have a problem with the high crime rate and increase in welfare benefits than job benefits because of the effects of a recession. However Rick Santorum fails to state that white people are also whom he is talking about that are low income. 32 percent of white people are on welfare and entitlement benefits such as food stamps. A number that far exceeds by double African Americans.
The problem with America is a American problem not a African American or any other ethnic group that isn’t white problem. We are in the same struggle together and the only person trying to divide classes is you and those that agree with you, because they are guilty by association.
Also, everyone in the Republican or Tea Party is not racist and actually have valid non discriminatory views on policy issues being passed by state and federal elected representatives. This election is not about running for the President of the United States of Rich America. It is called the office of President of United States which includes all Americans – rich and poor. This election is about providing a future for each and every man and woman.
This election is about moving America passed the hate and the income gap of struggling Americans compared to rich Americans. It is a sad day when fiction is becoming facts for you Rick Santorum. You are using too small of a sample to be representative of any population. Do you ever focus on how many low income people are not drug dealers or incarcerated. It is a far number out of jail than in a jail. Maybe Rick Santorum should do a real research study on issues that are effecting low income people and that is jobs and family not jail and bigotry. It is one thing to be Christain, but Im only asking you to honor what the Bible and Jesus says on paper and make it reality.
This phrase in the bible says it all, “We are all Gods children.” Did you forget that somewhere a long the line of saying which children really are the ones you consider family. You taketh family and won’t giveth qualified workers a job.

Rick Perry puts foot in mouth at S.C debate 1/16/2012

Rick Perry puts foot in mouth at S.C debate 1/16/2012 (Federal vs State) (Voter ID in S.C vs Virginia Ballot requirements)

Rick Perry stated that he supports the South Carolina voter I.D law in order to get votes from S.C Governor Haley endorsement.  He was against the Obama Administration filing a lawsuit against the South Carolina because the voter i.d law unfairly restricts low income people in the state from voting due to its long standing history of discrimination against other ethnic groups other than white.  However, Governor of Texas Rick Perry failed to state that he is personally going up against the Commonwealth of Virginia ballot voting requirements, which is a state rights law, with a lawsuit, which is a state in America, whom has state ballot requirement for candidates and voters, and all those trying to be listed on the Virginia ballot.  Rick Perry accuses the federal government for getting involved in state affairs, but does not use the same harsh criticism, in his own pursuit, already being pushed in State of Virginia to have his name on the ballot.  Does the Texas Governor think that the laws of Virginia and South Carolina, depending on which side of the issue that benefits himself personally is on, is allowed to have him intrude and infringe on state law since he is not a member of Federal Government.  The problem really is that he is part of state Government and trying to intrude on another state government.  Governor Perry should dismiss his lawsuit immediately against the Republican party and the Commonwealth of Virginia because his action is a direct attempt to restrict a state’s voting rights.  Maybe Governor Perry should take his own advice at the South Carolina debate and practice what he preach.  Governor Perry should just drop out of the race because he got a round of applause by being a hyprocrit or maybe some in the audience forgot Governor Perry pursuit against state rights in Virginia. Also Rick Perry isn’t the only one filing a lawsuit against another State at this level than shouldn’t states be worried about their intrusion at a Federal level.
