Blog restart

I had given up on my blog, but have decided to make another stab at it. This blog will be how I feel about things and may or may not be very factual. It is not necessarily my goal to do anything that will be earth shattering or actually accomplish anything. At my age that is not as necessary as it once was. I have been a poster on other blogs and what I have mostly seen is a great deal of hate and puffery on the part of many folks. There is one website, www.bvbl.net, run by a guy by the name of Greg Letiecq, one of the founders of Help Save Manassas, that looks like it is authored by either Adolph Hitler or Joseph Goebbles. He hates everything that is not white and is presently advertising those old fashioned racist lawn jockies but his look like President Obama. He says he is thinking about adding one featuring a local congressional representative, Gerry Connolly, who is white, so that he won't be accused of racism.

Corey Stewart, the chairman of the Prince William Board of Supervisors is so overcome with his own self importance that he has decided to tell the state legislature how to run the commonwealth and is trying to convince Virginians that we need to pass a law similar to the train wreck that Arizona has passed. He, Letiecq and a supervisor by the name of John Stirrup were responsible for the semi-failed anti-immigration resolution that set Prince William County race relations back perhaps 100 years and drove legal and illegal immigrants out of the county. Result--folks walked off and left homes, the housing market in the county crashed and Prince William County has had the worst foreclosure rate in the state. Stewart's present plans call for egging on the federal government by working to pass an Arizona type law and begging the federal government to sue Virginia. Just the thing the state needs when we are already facing hard times.

My two cents worth for July 12, 2010.
