Glad to be a conservative, offering “grace, redemption, and forgiveness”

Mr. Myers

     In this morning’s (OC) Red County, Walter Myers III discusses Monday’s meeting of the Orange County Republican Central Committee, whose Marilyn Davenport recently sent around the now infamous Ape-Obama email. When Mike “Darth Vader” Schroeder was sent a copy, he took it to the press. (Yesterday, Central Committee officer Deborah "unadulterated evil" Pauly judged that action to be unethical. “It’s an ethical violation to embarrass the Republican Party,” said she.)
     Well, Myers ends his post with some remarkable remarks, and I’ve decided to share them with you:

     In any event, the meeting went smoothly and some of the groups that threatened to show up and cause trouble, such as local members of the Democrat Party [sic] and the California Friends of the African-American Caucus, did not show up in force, but for those who did, they were quiet and mannerly. I must say that after seeing the despicable email circulated by the African American Caucus calling for Davenport to resign along with a threat to protest at Monday's Central Committee meeting, I’m glad that I have chosen to be a conservative. These African-Americans are aligning themselves tightly with LGBT groups and Obama’s Organizing for America, groups whose charters are absolutely inimical to family values, and promote a redistributionist socialist ethic in a country whose capitalist system has given them the greatest freedoms and opportunities for prosperity in the free world. These people have left one plantation and willingly have been duped into joining another. Lord, what have my people become.
     While liberals such as these pillory the Republican Party and conservatives for being paragons of racism, the key difference between us is that we conservatives don't see people through racial lens [sic]. We are always the first to offer grace, redemption, and forgiveness, which we extend not only to our own but to socialist liberals also. This is what makes us fundamentally different from them, so they just don’t understand why we don’t throw our own under the bus just because they say we should. We believe that everyone, regardless of the charge, deserves a full hearing where all sides can weigh in before any judgment is passed. As strongly as we may feel that Davenport’s actions were unacceptable, we will not condemn her as a person and throw her to the wolves because she made a grave mistake. It is for this reason why we grow and thrive in knowledge, recognizing that we are all fallen, while liberals sink into depravity in the pursuit of a utopia that doesn't exist and couldn't be produced anyway with such a flawed philosophy based on secular humanism, where man is the measure of all things.
     For conservatives, it is our belief in God that grounds our morals, and thus grounding our actions accordingly. We rest on the solid rock, while liberals build their castles on sand. And that is why we are the ones who demonstrate true love, compassion, and mercy, even during the darkest times, to our own and to all other fellow humans as well.

Golly.

UPDATE:

     Earlier today, I wrote Myers. He then responded:

A virtuous party? (Roy B)

     Mr. Myers, I just don't understand you. You say that the GOP is the party of "love, compassion, and mercy." But where are any of those virtues displayed in your local party's treatment of [Marilyn] Davenport? You say that your party doesn't throw people "under the bus." Isn't that exactly what Schroeder and Baugh are doing to Davenport?
     For all that I know, you are a benevolent man, but you are describing your party, not yourself, and your description clashes mightily with the facts of this very episode.
     But this isn't an isolated case, is it? If your party is so dang benevolent, why did it put up with the likes of Mike Carona for so many years, repeatedly endorsing him? Why did it get behind Chriss Street despite clear indications (even before he was elected) that he behaved unethically in his dealings with Freuhauf? Why did it repeatedly foist the manifestly incompetent and corrupt John Williams on the taxpayer? I could go on all day with examples.
     Mr. Myers, maybe you are a good man. So I ask you: why do so many good people in your (county) party put up with a leadership that is plainly rotten, and has been so for decades?
     I just don't get it.

Virtue (Walt M)

     Roy, let me be clear that in this piece I am discussing the ideals of the party. You may want to follow my personal blog, where ... I have repeatedly stated that the human condition is fallen. Neither I, nor you, should expect perfection on this earth. Just because we cannot expect perfection does not mean we don't have a rule or canon by which to judge what is right from wrong. What [former state GOP chair Mike] Schroeder did was dead wrong, as he brought something forward that should have been dealt with privately and strongly. He has made the party look bad. [County chair] Scott [Baugh] came out against [Davenport's email] as he should have, and stated ... his own opinion. Had you been at CC meeting (perhaps you were), you would have heard a beautiful speech by Scott that was firm and condemning of what Marilyn had done, while being clear that there would be consequences for her action in accordance with the party bylaws.
     I am completely with you on Corona, but I know little of the Chriss Street situation. I was John Williams' alternate in CC for several years, and only recently learned of some of the things he did that appear to be abuses of the public trust. Fundamentally, what I'm trying to say to you is that people aren't perfect, and they never will be perfect on this earth. That includes you and me. However, based on you expressing your concern, it would be great if you could join us to make things better as it is obvious that you stand against corruption of any sort and would be a voice integrity. So if you haven't already joined us, then please do.

There's a third comment; it is signed by "Ron Paul."
