Never the less, this proves exactly what you are saying, the distraction, regardless of whose behind it, will overshadow and possibly even negate the good work being done.<br /><br />Jesus told us:"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." Mt.10:16<br /><br />Is there a bigger den of wolves than the political class of either Party? Randy and others should take heed to this admonition and be wiser in how to handle these matters.<br /><br />TC could have continued to do the work without title and once the debt was clear and things had been established and running well the appointment could have been made quietly. Some may shay this is sneaky, I say it is "shrewd" which is what more modern translations actually translate "wise" as. <br /><br />Let's learn from this and do better.www.newblackthought.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434819406898941181.post-81885455231456207322015-05-19T09:39:08.540-05:002015-05-19T09:39:08.540-05:00As a GOP county Chairperson, and state committee m...As a GOP county Chairperson, and state committee member this situation breaks my heart. In less than 2 months Chairman Brogdon and Mr. Ryan have together brought the OKGOP back from $30,000 in debt to breaking even, filled he HQ with volunteers, increased Minuteman membership to the highest level in years, establish lines of communication with the county committees to a level unprecedented, and organized the Energizing America GOP Gala, and helped with the SLRC while still completing all regular party business, without collecting one dime of salary for either of them. .C. voluntarily refused salary until a certain level of solvency was reached. I doubt any other party official has done that. The reward for that was a faction of their own party turned against them over an altercation that occurred almost 4 years ago, for which TC not only paid his debt , but has publicly apologized. To think someone from our organization would maliciously seek out and document something like this to hold for such a time as to do the most damage to T.C. with no remorse for the party they belong to, in my opinion shows much worse character than someone who made a terrible mistake in the heat of a moment. Yes this does hurt the party, but the question is, who really is doing damage to the GOP? Who is so fearful of tattoos, and beards, of liberty, of grassroots, that they would do this to the entire OKGOP?

At this point if TC truly is considerate of the Party he should step down on his own and work to help other conservative causes in another way rather than thru State Party.<br />We are blessed/cursed to have many fronts to fight.<br />Denise Crosswhite Hader<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
