Tear down those Banners, Babe!!!

To all Century Village residents a “Muckrakers” response

to expose the injustices and cutthroat politics of the Israel regime.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. 

And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

JUST WHAT IS MISSING FROM THE ISRAEL ADMINISTRATION

Stewart Richland

My aim is to uphold traditions and fair play not to eliminate them.  Those who seek power, as Dave Israel does, throwing aside the two term tradition,  attempt to seek absolute power, even though in their distorted fantasy they want to “ enforce their version of heaven on earth.”

As Lanny Howe and his puppet  companion, Peter Cruise, whose only claim to fame is that he has become expert in taking down campaign posters on his associations bulletin board,  support a tyranny that believes in absolute power.   It is a simple fact, engrained in the philosophies of our founding fathers, that those who seek absolute power are suspect in their motives and must be stopped.

David Israel has no idea what is meant by the “high road.”  He is a dirty fighter.  He thinks like a card shark, but the so called “tells” are so obvious to all.  His reaction to Phyllis Richland’s campaign banner clearly  illustrates the fact that he will  slap you on the back today, and stab you in the back tomorrow.  By now it is common knowledge that he squawked to County Enforcement about the banner placed  on the fence on Haverhill Road.  He also repeated this mean spirited act to have the banner removed from Olga’s  Association.  His action was vindictive.  He is afraid that Phyllis Richland’s base of support is expanding and he resorted to this Boss Tweed political machine tactic to eliminate any competition.  As Molly points out, he has a group in the loop, ready to poop on any one who steps up to challenge Dave.

Molly states he worked to “protect our freedom and wonderful way of life.” in your stint at NSA. Well, I also served for four years in the US Navy during the Korean conflict from 1951-1955, however, my view of fair play, honor and tradition is a 180 from Dave’s. 

Lanny says that his neighbors interpretation of a meeting she attend was to bash David.  Lanny,  I call your attention to the title of this tome.  Extremism in the defense of liberty is really a good idea.  One of the traditions in America, is that we encourage “gadfly’s”  who monitor events and call people’s attention to what they consider wrongdoing.  Example:  Dave calling code enforcement.  Dave insulting speakers at Delegate Assembly meetings,  firing people from UCO because they had the courage to stand up to his insults.  By your silence on the issue of closing the Club House and pool areas for campaigning, you are also complicit in his political mechanizations. 

Around the turn of the 20^th Century a group of “malcontents” began to expose the evils of the society they lived in.  These writers were known as “Muckrakers.”  They called attention to the misdeeds of those who thought they were untouchable.  Because of their efforts the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed.  Changes in factory safety was implemented and orphan children were protected by strict legislation.  So when you besmirch the CV Messenger or attempt to marginalize the various blog postings, you and your buddy Peter Cruse, the poster raider,  don’t understand that fair play and an even playing field in every respect is what we all want.    

Lanny, my “extremism” is rooted in the philosophy that “all men are created equal” and that “inalienable rights”  is for all of us, not for the Dave Israel machine.  All we get from him is the “Sounds of Silence.”
