I told you about this local wheelin-dealin a couple of weeks ago.  Both men denied it, but they are rightwing Super DeLux Brand Christians so their Bibles say it’s okay to lie about politics.

Rick Miller: Thug

Last night, Fort Bend County Republican Party Chairman and General Thug Rick Miller resigned his chairmanship.

You’d think that would be all the joy a girl could handle for one day.  But, his resignation letter, which is the same length as the United States Tax Code, had this amazing paragraph in it.

Our nation is under extreme attack, internally and externally. It will take more than a few of us to rise up and defend what we know to be true…protect and defend our liberty and freedoms…our very way of life and form of government. So my encouragement to each of you is to look closely at those who want to remove us from the “exceptionalism” that our nation has been known for…and to only put people in leadership positions who are there to truly serve the people and not be served…or who only want the positions for their own promotion or their own ego. We must have the right leaders who are willingly to sacrifice and take a stand…who will not be afraid to make the right decisions and do the right things for the right reasons…no matter what! These are the traits and actions of our Founding Fathers.

There are more code words than a Dan Brown novel in this email.  “Way of life,” and “Founding Fathers,” and “exceptionalism,”  those are code words for  white men.

Our local Republican party has not elected even one woman or one minority to office without “clerk” in front of their names since they accidentally elected one female judge – one and only one – in 1996.  They haven’t made that mistake since.

And why would the resigning Republican party chairman be so obvious with his code words?  Because the office he’s going to be  seeking is also being sought by an African American Republican woman.

This is the same Republican Party Chairman who would not speak out against an anonymous piece of hate mail  about a female Muslim running for office.  So, expect another anonymous piece of hate mail about his opponent being …. well, you know, not like us.

Sweet Jesus, forgive me, but I hate these jerks.  I just hate them.
