It has the Rules of Order, the ByLaws and the County Constitution Smeagol.
One Rule to Bind them. Once Rule to Guide them.
One Law to Light them from the Darkness.
During the last Central Commitee Meeting we had the distasteful Duty of removing one of our members for a Violation of the County Constitution.
A member may be removed by the County Central Committee for inattention to duty, incompetence, or active support of an opponent of a Republican nominee.
The issues involved in tfhe removal have been aptly described by State Central Committee member David Chung on his blog HAWKEYEGOP in
DOING THE RIGHT THING — THE LINN COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE VOTES TO REMOVE A GOP SUPERVISOR
Though that title is a tad misleading he is still a County Supervisor, but was removed from membership in the GOP County Central Committee for a Violation of Our Constitution.
The Gazette chimed in with an anlysis from the Left in
Linn County GOP boot prompts soul search
I liked the bit about:
It would have been smart for the county GOP to let it slide. All’s well that ends well. But rules are rules, apparently. And all that GOP talk we often hear about traditional values, like loyalty and friendship, for example, is null and void if it means crossing partisan trenches.
Yes we removed others for this same offence in the Past so it just makes sense we excuse it this time because the person who did it is important?
We do espouse Traditional Values and they include besides those mentioned above respect for Constitutions and Rulle of Law.
But as has happened in the Past during our deliberations we heard the Baaaaaa Bleating of
What does this have to do with Electing Republicans?
Everything.
At the Birth of our Nation the Founding Fathers realized that as Evil as the Tryanny of the One was the Tryanny of the Many.
So they set Checks and Balances to protect Minorities and Individuals.
They created not a Simple Democracy but a Constitutional Based Representative Republic based on the Rule of Law.
Some believe in this. Some just give it Lip Service and Some don't even bother to give it that.
The outcry:
What does this have to do with Electing Republicans?
Loosely translates into:
We don't need No Steenking Constituion. We want to do what we want to do and if it is in the Way, Ignore It
If we do that Once then the next time will be easier and that road leads to a place where we have given up those Principles that we used to Stand For,
The Constitution, The Rule of Law, Personal Responsibility. the Concept that for Our Actions there can be Consequences and a Real Man or A Real Woman accepts that their Actions have Inherent Results.
There was NO Secret about what our County Constitution Said.
If we give up our Support for the Sanctity of Constitutions, the Rule of Law and all that means then we will no longer be helping Elect Republicans but something that wears the mantle of the word but is instead the mirror image of the other side.
Our Party will be composed of people no different than our opponents who desire Government by Edict rather than the Rule of Law, they will just want to be the ones giving the Edicts.
For the Sanctity of the Constitution is MORE than a Belief
It Is Who We Are
