From what I can tell, Dr. Ingersoll hasn't figured out yet that in many cases, the peroxide sucks out the brain cells, right along with the color. Like many liberals in the education establishment, there are a great many things she knows, that simply aren't so. At the end of the day, Dr. Ingersoll and her cronies represent an entire class of individuals who are painfully educated well beyond their native intellect.

@JL Gawlik,

 

I can tell you that the LOCAL Duval GOP was behind Hogan all the way. If you would have come to the Beach Blvd HQ roughly 4 weeks out of the election, you would have seem MANY people there making calls, organizing walks, getting information packets put together and MONEY being raised for Hogan.

 

You can ONLY blame ONE person IF you were not there. Yourself.

 

Do you belong to the local Republican Executive Committee??? If not, you didn't get any information from them to show up. Are you working to get OTHER Conservatives elected THROUGH your local GOP in Duval County?? Then you perhaps should look as to WHY you are not a member.

 

Influence comes ONLY when YOU are involved. Unless you are, then there in but ONE reason- you are not part of the local Duval Republican Executive Committee. THEY make the decisions, man the phones and do the walks and other things to get Republicans elected. AND you can also influence elections for YOUR candidates in the Primary elections. Membership is FREE and that excuse is eliminated totally. There are no dues, membership fees, or REQUIREMENT to donate. BUT you make a commitment to organize YOUR precinct where you live and to work to get Republicans elected.

 

If you are not willing to do that, then there is no need to even join. Far too many don't understand- "WE" ARE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY and only those who PARTICIPATE have the voice in matters affecting Republicans and which Republicans lead our party. Don't complain if you don't participate. NOR should you question either. EVERY Republican in Duval County SHOULD be involved. As it stands NOW, fewer than 200 people make the decisions countywide. There SHOULD be thousands at EVERY Duval Republican Party Executive Committee meeting.

 

If you need more information, call the Republican Party HQ's on Beach Blvd. THEN get involved.

 

Remember THIS one from Jefferson:

 

"We are NOT a nation in which the majority governs, but a nation in which the MAJORITY THAT PARTICIPATES governs."

 

Participation is NOT just casting a ballot, but getting INVOLVED with the 3 basics I outlined at the beginning of these comments. Unless YOU PERSONALLY are not doing that, then you are ONLY part of the majority that isn't really "participating", but just casting an uninformed and uninvolved ballot.

 

OUR JOB to effect changes is to BE involved. Otherwise, we are part of the PROBLEM and not part of the SOLUTION.

Ms. Ingersol's writings are not even worth commenting on.  She is in the same category as the teacher of 35 years I spoke with in Tallahassee during the "Rally in Tally" event that argued the fact that almost 50% of Americans pay no income tax at all.  She said I was making it up despite the fact that the information came from the IRS Website.  Such ideology will never recognize facts if the facts do not line up with their perception of the world.  Glenn Beck stated it well in "Arguing With Idiots."

Mark Woods is as pathetic as Littlepage. Two grown men who act like little kids with complete freedom and zero accountability. Our founding fathers warned us of the danger of individuals having great freedom, with little or no accountability, and absent any moral or ethical parameters. 

Despite the efforts of the liberals, they still barely squeaked by with a win. However, a win is a win, and we're now spectators for four years. They did absolutley nothing unexpected. They do the same things every time, predictably and unabashedly, and, when legally challenged, are upheld by the liberal judiciary nearly every time.

They are the constant and we have to be the variable. We have the benefit of knowing our opponent's play book which should make our response pretty easy, but what does any of it matter when so many "Republicans" don't even cast a vote.  

Will all the RINO's please go register as Democrats and get off of our rolls. You are neither needed or wanted.

Mr. Brown may very well be a decent mayor, but it's discouraging that our local media will likely exempt him from legitimate criticism and and under report mistakes and problems, or, like the national media, blame Republicans for everything.

Complaining about the Democrat's tactics is useless. They and their tactics are here to stay without any moral, ethical, or judicial reason to stop. The end justifies the means for them.

Republicans and conservatives are still reluctant to to even acknowledge this for fear of the usual media lies and smears that will follow. Guess what - the media lies and smears us anyway.

Time to elect politicians with spines who will acknowledge the truth and effectively combat the liberals. They have to know we will support them and VOTE for them.

Perhaps Mike Hogan's campaign was underwhelming in some ways, but the voters also let him down.

Ingersoll, ideologuge who launces into unfounded and unsubstanciated accusations of racism, which is a typical tactic of the liberal left.

Kill the Messenger and not address the message.

She fails to mention the Darling of the TEA PARTY (BLACK AMERICAN) Allen West who had almost unanimous support, or Chris Nwasike who is Trully an AFRICAN AMERICAN because he was born there... a man who was endorsed for congress by the FCTP, and who is a personal friend of Billie Tucker.

She does not know the difference between Racism and Bigotry regarding Parvez Ahmed... and fails to mention he lead CAIR/HAMAS in America for 4 years as designated by a federal judge in the largest terrorim trial in U.S. History.

Last I checked he was from India and that would make his RACE Indian and not Muslim???

He was not opposed because he was Muslim but because he was a HAMAS Leader in AMERICA... in fact congresswowman Sue Myrick refers to the organization he lead as "The Propaganda Arm of Hamas in America".

As someone who leads the dis-information apparatus in the most sohphisticated country in the world, America...he is probably pretty decent at deception... that would be my guess.

So her judgement in friends or her ability to reason or both are in serious question in my mind.

The Clincher for me is when she sits on a panel with Parvez Ahmed and speaks about a propagands film, Inside Islam: what a billion Muslims think, and says that "Islam offers wide spread gender equality" (under sharia law and in the islamic world).

Never mind the film was funded by the Muslim Brotherhood and Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal of Saudi Arabia and othere progressive leftist groups like the tides foundation.

Shet touts herself as a person trained to find things like this...yet can not even do cursory investigations on those in her sphere...or worse.

As my friend Dave Gaubatz likes to say... the three (i's)... Ignorant, Incompetent, or in bed (Ideologically, monetarily, politically, etc..).

Critical though is no longer alive and well in most academic circles... they like most leaders have given way to P.C. language and reactions... TRUE ZOMIES with no courage to stand for what they know to be right, for fear of being unfairly labled an Racist, Bigot, or Islamophobe.

I am none of those, however I, like billie Tucker and other patriotsam proud to wear the false title and stand for what I know to be true... and if more Americans and leaders would stand.. up we would not be in the shape we are today.

Excellent letter to Mark Woods!

Hopefully parents who are paying for the children in College, ANYWHERE, are aware of WHAT they are being told  - it is really sad to see how they are trying to turn them all into Democrats !!!!!!!!

Here's my letter to Mark Woods:

 

Mr. Woods,

 

With all due respect, it’s quite easy I think to sit behind a keyboard and opine about events.  You coyly dismiss Mrs. Tucker’s comments about zombies and glassy eyed campaign workers with snide inferences that it’s all just science fiction.  Well I watched the video taken of the Alvin Brown supporters protesting in front of the Duval Republican headquarters – did you?  Did you take note of the guy smoking a joint?  That usually leads to a state of glassy eyes – so calling them glassy eyed zombies doesn’t seem too farfetched to me.

 

But much more importantly, did you look even slightly at the folks working the street corners for Mr. Brown?  I did – the morning of the election I happened to drive by a big gaggle of Alvin Brown’s supporters at the intersection of Atlantic and University.  I was early for work and had a bit of time, so I swung into the adjoining drugstore parking lot where the sign wavers had parked their vehicles.  There were four of them and ALL FOUR WERE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA TAGS!  I don’t know about you, but it galls me to no end that outsiders played such a prominent role in our local election.  And it galls me as well that the local NEWSPAPER actively castigates someone who points this phenomenon out.  If you people were doing your job – Billie Tucker wouldn’t have had to be the one to point it out.

 

Now somewhere I recently read some jackass …er Democrat… opine that “outsiders” is some sort of code word for “blacks”.  Let me go on record here and say that if anyone within arm’s reach of me makes such a comment, I’m going to punch them squarely in the mouth!  I might go to jail for it, but I am bone-deep weary of the race card being used to beat conservatives, and republicans over the head.  (Incidentally, I am neither conservative, nor am I a republican).  It’s the color of their ideology that I object to.  Not the color of their skin.

 

There are a lot of thing about this election that gall me:  Outside influence, apathetic voters, and obviously biased “news” reporting to name just a few.

 

Good day sir,

My Chief of Staff is a traditional Dem but he is opening up. I asked him why Brown won and Hogan lost. His reply was fairly simple, "...he is a tax collector. Why would I vote for a tax collector?" As simple as it sounds, there may be a kernel of truth in there. Mind you, he is not a sophisticated political aficionado. He watches both NBC and Fox. Just some food for thought.

There was a pivotal Council meeting this meeting regarding bills to form an independent ethics commission that would help to alleviate or slow down corruption in our city government.....approximately 6 FCTP people were there.  I know they schedule these meetings  at times when conservatives are working; however, those that aren't or have flexible schedules should be there.  This is where we start...the council members need to be aware that we are watching and paying attention to what they do.  Believe me, it is an education to attend one of these meetings where you can see your local government in "action".  It is another way to "get involved".
