Yesterday I posted some remarks emailed me by a Lewes electrical contractor.  I was carbon copied on a letter he mailed to State Representative Joe Booth and State Senators Gary Simpson and Colin Bonini.  I clearly stated it was a letter from a listener.  Late in the day I received a Google Alert tipping me to a blog called Delaware Way.  The writer of said rubbish was crediting the businessman’s words to me and offering some barbed criticism in some desperate hope of gaining a few political points.  Twice Tuesday I emailed the writer and pointed to her error.  I’ve received no replies.  I can only assume it’s a typical tactic of the left, to make false claims and faulty attributions.  We can conclude there isn’t any credibility at Delaware Way.

I’ve been battling with folks on the left for almost a decade and can look back 25 years when I battled alongside them and reach some sober conclusions.  First, I usually wasn’t sober when I was involved with radical leftist groups.  As no one made me take the drink I can’t dismiss once playing for the other side.  All I can do is now work to make right the wrongs I committed against my God and my country.  The second thing I’ve noticed is the left can’t seem to make logical connections.  Which is why I guess the government schools are constructed in the current tense.  You create more liberals when Johnny can’t read and has only the dole as his only resort.  Last week a writer at The Christian Science Monitor bemoaned the lack of modern critical thinkers.  This infers critical thinking is something you can teach.  It may just be some folks are wired differently and can think on several levels at any given time while others don’t have the talent.  I believe I can make this statement because the left argues wiring is the root of all differences between people we used to consider just making lifestyle choices.  Notice I wrote I believe and not I feel.  The only thing I feel is the sometimes knot in my stomach when I’m asked to cheerlead for a cause that makes me uncomfortable.

A Roman Catholic Bishop I once heard saying a homily claimed the knot was part of God’s wiring and a reminder ethics aren’t situational. 

Over the weekend I had quite a bit of time for reading and came across the words of a columnist at The Washington Post.  Jim Hoagland writes the American people are getting angry.  Very, very angry and the anger he believes may get very, very ugly.  Hoagland, from what I know, has never been a paragon of the political right.  He’s just an observer witnessing what a great many others are seeing.  This morning I received an email from one of my friends serving in Iraq.  He was telling me 50 percent of working Americans are just two paychecks away from disaster.

Yesterday I attended a committee meeting of the Sussex County Community Organized Regiment.  A local man with a house just a few miles from where I live hosted it and he has a family, pets and a very good job.  These aren’t people frothing at the mouth and searching for a revolution.  There were ten people in attendance ranging from 19 years old to retired.  There had been an earlier committee meeting where something called “Victory Garden” was a discussion topic.  It appears these bitter clingers have ten acres of land available for tilling and planting.  Members of the group will grow vegetables and then, say it isn’t so, can them for what could be tougher months later this year and early next.  Any member who works on these plots is entitled to share in the bounty.  The barter economy is back. 

Before the session wrapped up there was light banter about the public reaction to creation of the organization.  Liberal bloggers in Wilmington are railing against the toothless right wing goons inhabiting the forests below the ditch.  You know the story.  The salons of the state’s biggest city can’t conceive of how folks can survive without big government.  Worse yet they can’t understand why you wouldn’t want the nanny state in your lives.  The beautiful crime and drug free streets upstate should be convincing, I guess.  Someone mentioned the follow up posts at the blogs contained liberal fears about the good people of Sussex County.  Some worry they’re at a disadvantage because we can handle guns and they can’t but if the figures are correct most of the “Wards of the State” locked up in prisons originally called New Castle County home.  The wards are often locked away because they committed gun crimes and often against liberals even more fearful of weapons they could use in self-defense against criminals. 

I don’t speak for the members of the Regiment but if things get interesting this summer some hungry lefties may be looking for a bite to eat.  God help them.  He just might if they could come to their senses.

A fellow emailed me after the show today and asked why the local GOP has such animosity toward local people organizing for their own political interests. Perhaps because the GOP isn’t looking out for your interests? A County GOP bigwig telephoned the show Monday and implied the folks joining the local “Regiment” were a bunch of knuckle dragging apes looking to shoot up the town. For the record, many of the “Regiment” members are retired police and military. If it makes the GOP feel any better I should mention some of them were “officers” and probably played some very good golf courses. Some of these folks are teachers and bankers and business owners. One is the stepchild, I believe, of a former Deputy Secretary of Defense. The local Republicans are crowing about last year’s successes. The Clerk of the Peace faced token opposition. Sussex County’s only statewide candidate has already voiced his issues. Greg Hastings, one of the finest people I’ve ever known in public life or outside of public life, got little serious support. Oh, some of his colleagues asked if I could help. Otherwise they couldn’t be bothered. Joan Deaver, a left-wing radical, is serving on County Council. Watch the demographics because more are coming. The Republican controlled Council has managed to curtail public dissent. Gosh, fellows, you’re men after President Obama’s heart! Then last week I learned Council members get taxpayer money to throw at causes “near and dear” or in other words to spread around like Philadelphia street cash. Ms. Deaver was the only one calling for an outright ban. The majority settled for being a little bit pregnant and cut the amount somewhat. I do not forget a member of the majority attempted silencing me last summer. For what I thought could be common cause I’ve stayed silent for months. Did you know two of my friends operate a Christian charity? When they approached Sam Wilson for assistance he said he would offer help only if the recipients would agree to be “Saved”. Forced conversion, if you will. Muslims just do it by the sword. It’s now noted he supports silencing dissent at Council sessions and on the radio. He’s a GOP gain. Proud, I know you are! Come, put your cares aside. Let the GOP be your life coach. If they’ll just flash a picture of President Reagan before our eyes we’ll all fall into line and praise Mike Castle. It’s a big tent. Only remember in 1980 the party regulars couldn’t stand Reagan and they don’t really like you.

The report from the Sussex County Regiment is very good.  A website will soon be in operation.  I wasn’t able to attend Saturday’s meeting as I was here at work but I did have a representative in attendance.  Organizers are suggesting they’ll soon have a more permanent meeting place and schedule.  While I’m not trying to “out” any members I will suggest, and this is only a suggestion, the meeting place become public knowledge.  The ultimate decision will remain with the organization’s membership. 

Organizers are also suggesting a large turnout at the March 9 Sussex County Republican meeting.  Not as to create an adjunct for the G.O.P. but to allow members an opportunity to see how a political party functions. 

Let me expand here.  The Sussex County Regiment will not be working to carry water for any party.  One look at Mitch McConnell should tell you the GOP is bereft of ideas and ideals.  I’ve suggested, and again only suggested, the organization stay clear of Brandywine Hundred country clubbers.  Next year members of the local Republican Party will be all smiles publicly when urging you to vote for Mike Castle.  Many of you know the meaning of the word hypocrisy. 

The only method available for contacting the Sussex County Regiment remains email:  sccor2009@yahoo.com.  

Meanwhile, last week the President of The Patriot League of Central New York appeared on my program explaining how you can create these organizations and make them grow and have a lasting impact.  Check out his website:  www.plcny.com.  

Much more powerful radio show than I anticipated today - Started the program off with a premise ripped from WHAS-AM in Louisville, KY - Have people looking for jobs call in and interview them on the air for an on-air resume, then try and hook them up with future employers.

Unreal feedback from people today - still getting e-mail and I tracked the entire show on www.Twitter.com/jaredmorris.

This is going to be an ongoing feature on my show — all potential workers/employers massive recap on blog coming later today - e-mail jared@wgmd.com if you’d like to be profiled next month - below you’ll find a list of people who are either hiring or may be hiring, callers who are looking for jobs, and some on-air comments from listeners.

Treat these as on air help-wanted ads or on-air resumes. Just right now had a gentleman come in asking for my help and not two seconds ago a phone call.

We talk about community service always here on WGMD - I hope this is a real way that I can help people in need on Delmarva - Get in on the next Job Search program on February 20th.

For information on any of the below candidates, e-mail me at Jared@wgmd.com - If you were on the air and I still need your contact info e-mail me at Jared@wgmd.com or leave the details with our front desk at 302-945-2050
